Commercial Description:
Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head. Brewed with four varieties of Belgian caramel malts imparting a sweet richness. Reds Rye is impressively balanced with its hop bitterness and floral bouquet achieved from the dry hop. In the finish, the generous amount of malted rye used accentuates a spicy crisp finish.

Copper-orange appearance. The head is initially nice, off-white, but quickly resumes to cover. Appealing rye, cookies and raisin nose contain a strong multi-hopped facet reminiscent of smoky/earthy centennial. Bitterness comes out quite heavy. Bready and earthy profile, nicely leafy and woody toward the finish, but citric all the way. Medium bodied, slight creaminess, smooth overall feel. Good stuff.

Pours a clear coper bronze with a decent frothy off-white head. Has a fresh hoppy and toasted caramel malty aroma. Body starts with some mild rich caramel and toffee sweetness turning more dry toward a well-balanced somewhat hoppy crisp finish. A very nice rye beer with decent complexity of flavor. Thanks secret santa!

Bottle... This beer rocks!... Hazy, mahogany ale with a small, off-white head. Floral, very citrusy aroma with notes of orange peel and very light toffee. Citrusy, bitter flavor that screams for more malt to balance things out, but would be less refreshing with it. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with moderate carbonation. Crisp, bitter and tangy finish. This brewery impresses me yet again with another world class beer. Excellent IPA!

Draught@Redbones, Boston. Some light fruity malt characters to start (berry fruit?), lightly caramelly and sweet. Then the aromatic hops kick in at the end just to remind you that you’re in the US, in fact there is quite a lot of aromatic, slightly piney, citrusy hops. this was quite nice.

Pours ruby red with a tan head. Smells breaddy with some spicy rye notes. Tastes earthy with some breaddy hints and a nice rye sweetness on the finish.
