| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Sampled at 2009 WIU Performing Arts Society Beerfest. Cloudy, yellowish amber with a small white head. Mild caramel malt nose with a little sour grain/wheat. Flavor: light caramel and toffee, some very light citrus. Didn’t pick up any rye at all, really. Too carbonated to boot.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 1, 2009 Pours a hazy orange tinted deep golden color with a 1/4 inch dense white head that really lasts. Aroma has a light peppery, peaches come through, some mild rye notes with a grassy hops nose at the end. Flavor has a fantastic rye malt bite, a very smooth grassy/earthy hops note, mild peach sweetness that really works with a mild peppery bite, ends with a light caramel malt note. A modest body with a sugary dense texture and very fine carbonation. Overall a very solid offering by Arcadia. BillKismet (1945), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Solid amber body with a creamy head. Floral and rye nose gives way to a bounteous floral hop flavor with distinct rye accents and citrus and apricot hop bursts. Puissant and ethereally hoppy. bhensonb (4336), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Bomber. Beautiful orange pour with a frothy, clingy white head. Aroma is mainly citrus. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Lots of fruity hop, and spicey malt underlaying that. It’s very delicious, and the rye really comes out as the hop washes away. Little hot bits pop up. This finishes very floral/fruity, and it’s just excellent. The rye note is everpresent. Love this stuff. kwoeltje (1322), Manchester, Missouri, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 14, 2009 Fairly light in color as rye beers go. Hoppy, citrus nose. Clean, pine-sol like spicy flavor (in a good way). Interesting take on the style. travita (1926), Frisco, Texas, USA
