| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Fresh navy blue wax dipped bomber. Pours mostly clear, with a golden-orange amber hue. A thick head of ivory tinted froth shows good retention, sticking around for the duration and leaving scattered spots and splotches of lacing on the glass. As advertised, the nose shows signature rye grain crispness, fresh and clean, with lightly sweet toffee and toasted bread malts in the base. A bounty of juicy grapefruit and lemon hops add further sharpness, complementing the rye malt perfectly. Flavors are incredibly well balanced and tasty, sharp rye malt and bitter, peppery citrus rind hops slicing through the toffee and toast like a knife through hot butter. Grapefruit and rye linger well after the swallow. The palate is medium-full, with lively carbonation and a sharp, resinous finish that manages to stay quite drinkable for such a big beer. Damn good brew. I love rye IPAs, and this is one of the best I’ve ever had. markwise (1200), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA
