Growler at Stony Brook Beverage! Amber pour with a medium , creamy off white head. the rye is more apparent in the flavor then the aroma. Kind of sweet, yet a bit dry. I enjoyed this and it fit the category of getting something different.

Medium to light orange, beautiful head that never stops and leaves a thick lace. Aroma is floral hops and light rye spiciness. Flavor is rye accented spicy malt with a floral hop finish. Maybe not mind bending over the top flavors, but everything balances nicely, making for an enjoyable beer.

Sampled on draft at D’s Monroeville this beer poured a vibrant orange-amber color with a large orange-white head that lingers. The aroma was strong sweet fruity hops with a faint spicy undertone. The flavor was strong sweet and bitter fruity hops with a piney element and a touch of dry spice in the middle. The finish was long, spicy and hoppy. The mouthfeel was fairly thick and a bit syrupy. Complex and well done.

Draught at my local watering hole. Pours copper with a tan head. Smells of rye, some pine, some peppery hints. Taste balances the rye and bitter hops nicely with a spicy bite on the finish.

22oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a medium creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of spicy rye notes, caramel malt, Cheerios and some mixed citrus and floral hop notes. Flavor of citrus, floral and grapefruit hop notes, spicy rye, moderate hop bitterness and bready. Touch of caramel and toasted malt.

Tap at The Lark in E Npt. Pours a slihgtly hazy nice amber and a good fluffy head. Aroma is fresh citrus hops, earth, spicy rye, toffee, caramel malts. Toffee earthy rye, good citrus, light orange peel, some tropical hop notes, grapefruit and caramel malts. Smooth and clean bittering hops. Real easy drinking. Nice rye IPA.

22oz - Perfect Pour. Hazed dark amber, white creamy head. Subtle spicy rye and citrus aromas with undertones of fruity toasted caramel. Bold rye notes up front fade into soft peppered toffee flavors and touches of back end citric hoppiness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, drying spicy rye finish. Well done...
