Oct 12, 2008 Bottle pours a ruby brown body with a hint of red in the head. Lots of rye with the malt and a great complimentary hop balance of resins, and fruit like notes. Drink fresh.

Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle pour. Deep orangey copper in color, very hoppy aroma. Nice reddish beige head. Definitely more of an IPA than a rye, this is an excellent brew.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours a dank, hazy brown, forming medium light off brown foamy head. Aroma of hops, grapefruits, sweet caramel maltiness. Flavour of rye and hoppyness, resins and malt sweetness abound. Tastes like a belgian/American strong ale hybrid. This beer is good, drink it now!

Oct 9, 2008 Sample at WBF. So glad this just came to NC for sale! Crisp, hoppy sweet nose with solid rye malt aroma. Very fresh and fun, and more hoppy than many rye ales. Nice bubbly head atop a copper body. Grass, grains, and citrus. Crisp bitter finish. Lovely.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle courtesy of kmeves. Pours a cloudy amber with huge 4 finger billowy beige head that lasts forever. That persistent head leaves a nice delicate lacing. Nose is floral and citrus hops and caramel malt. Taste is caramel malt upfront with citrus hops and a touch of rye flavor followed by some resin in the finish. Medium, dry mouth feel. Decent stuff. Thanks Kevin!

Oct 8, 2008 Pours a deep dark cloudy copper coler with small tan head that hangs around for a little while. The nose is sweet citrus and floral with a subtle hint of pine. Big bitter hit mid palate and finishes clean and smooth. Really gets better as time goes on.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours deep red orange, not much of any head save for a bit of lacing. I really agree with previous rater...lots of pineapple hops in nose and flavor. An interesting sweet/bitter contrast. Very distinct rye astringency in aftertaste. Quite similar to an American pale ale, except for the rye bite. Bitterness takes over as session continues. Would be an amazing beer if there was more balance.
