Tap @ brewery. Pours amber, off white head. Aroma / taste, rye and malty scents and palate, sweet fruits, and good hop presence leaving a light bitter finish with citrus notes. The beer does keep some light enjoyable sweetness.

on tap-pours an off white head and hazy amber color. Aroma is sweet light/medium malt, some spice hops. Taste is pine/spice hops with some bite, some sweet light/medium malt.

Pours a darker amber color. Nose of citrus, grapefruit and some sweetness. Very well balanced IPA

Bright darkish amber. Herbal, woody hop nose with some slight crystal malt accent. Sweet. Nice crystal malt flavour but not overwhelmingly chewy. Hints of wood and light papaya late.

At brewpub. Clear copper with white head. Fruity and coffee-like aroma with acidity. Strange. Overly malty but almost balanced by its tannings. Juicy pears and apples are in the body. Finish is chalky and apple-skin tannic with some tobacco too. Feels like a high gravity brew.

Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a clear, brassy, copper-amber color. A small, foamy, off-white head leaves delicate, sticky bands of lacing behind. Aromas of rye malt, caramel, and cereal grains are accompanied by orangey citrus hops and hints of lemon rind. Flavors are well balanced, with a big rye component imparting its signature, clean, grainy sharpness to the sweet malt, while peppery citrus hops lend significant bitterness. The body is substantial, with lively carbonation that intensifies the hop flavor. A mild astringency shows on the finish. Pretty nice overall.

Draft at Redlight Redlight. Light aroma of biscuit malts and raisin bread. Flavor is lightly hoppy with sweet caramel and more raisin. Solid Rye IPA.
