Commercial Description:
Burnt out on hop crisis discussions? Refresh your tounge with this American-style IPA. Distinctly hoppy and bitter; bright copper-orange in color. Bursting with American hop character generally described as citrusy, piney, fruity and/or resiny. The malt character takes a backseat to the hops, although the addition of rye malt lends a subtle dry spiciness. The lingering hop rate can only be cured by another taste. O.G. 14.5P, 75 IBU'S,

This is a Great beer. Tons of hops, mostly upfront. Nice color and creamy white head. The rye doesn’t come through much till the end and once it warms a bit. But t the finish the rye shines in a spicy dryness thats really good for your palate. GEAT beer. grabbed a growler.

Light red in color. Just a little pine in the aroma, which is otherwise on the light side. Bitter hop flavor with a light floral character and some lemongrass, which this brewpub is known to use on occasion.

I ran into the brew pub while waiting for the 54 bus and ordered a pint of this. It was very visually appealing, with a wonderful hop aroma. The flavor was really good, rye, malt foundation, and very fresh hops - perfect body too. Damn good. This is my new "wait for the 54 bus" hangout.

RB Bachelor Pub Crawl. First beer of the night and cheers to my buds for getting me out on the town for a night good drinking. Copper color with a thin head. Strong pine hop aroma. Bone dry malt, more pine. A lot of resin-like flavors. Didn’t seem like it was screaming hop bitterness, but then again, it is only supposed to be an IPA, not IIPA. Not too bad at all.

A very hoppy aroma with a nice rye undertone. The rye stood out in the malty body - before the hops took over. A very nice beer. On tap at the brewery.
