Growler pours a dark amber color with a off white head . Has a nice hoppy aroma to it. Taste is spot in with other hop ryes. Has a smoother character, though. A decent brew.

Approximately 4 oz. pour, on tap at the brewpub in Ohio City on 6-13-08. This beer should be classified as a "Specialty Grain" or "American Strong Ale." Pours a hazy amber to dull copper. Small amount of beige head. Very hoppy aroma. Nice, buttery, creamy smell. Soft flavors. Minty, grassy, spicy taste. Sweet malts. Like a Double IPA or Imperial Amber with a soft, spicy twist. This is my kind of beer! Easy to drink but boozy. Medium body. Reasonably lively and silky on the palate. Rye of the Tiger is a remarkably good brew.

Dark copper medium bone head. Aroma is fresh hoppiness. Flavor has a resiny upfront hop bite to it, which leads to the sweet rye and allows some of the hops to come through with citrus and pine. The bitterness is a little too high for this to be drinkable but if you like rye’s you’ll like this.

6/02/2008: Rye of the Tiger is a substantially hoppy rye IPA. It has a really fresh, tangerine/clementine hop citrus aroma and flavor accompanied by a moderate bitterness and a dry and spicy rye finish. As far as appearance, this beer has a cloudy caramel color with a lasting, frothy and foamy beige head and thick lacing. The flavor is really hoppy and citrusy in the front with a touch of toasted/caramelized malt in the middle followed by a dry and spicy finish. Fresh valencia orange is evident in the flavor as the beers warms. The body is medium-full and quite smooth. This is a nicely hopped IPA with some obvious rye characteristics. Overall it is very well-balanced and quite delicious!

Draught (2 pints, 7.5% ABV) at GLBC in Cleveland, Ohio. Rating #3 for this beer...
