Aroma is light hops plus caramel and rye as it warms. Definitely more hop in the flavour but a hint of holiday spice in the middle. Nice finish. Flavourful IPA variant.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Pours a clear, dark reddish-amber color. A small but well retained, cream colored head of foam leaves wet flares and splotches of lacing on the glass. The aroma is well balanced, notes of resinous pine, spruce tips, and orange rind calmed by a malt base of caramel and toasted rye bread. Flavors follow suit, bitter citrus and pine countering the sweet caramel and yeasty bread, sharp rye lingering for ages after the finish. Medium bodied, with balanced carbonation, the finish is dry and lightly astringent. It’s a nice red rye. grant (792), Long Beach, CA/Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 6, 2009 Saddle brown color with moderate head. Herbal/fruity hops with a notable spicy rye presence complementing a moderate doughiness. More spice and a bit of esteriness in the flavor, moderate hops juiciness, finishing with a nice amount of bitterness. I don’t doubt that the execution is good, but a bit more rye than I’d like. brentfeesh (1038), Gadsden, Alabama, USA

Dark copper – chestnut pour with a medium frothy head. Spicy earthy aroma. Hoppy more than spicy in the flavor. Earthy hops more than spicy hops as well. A warming alcohol finish ends this one up. Just a touch of grain. Dryish mouth feel. An nice IPA. pantani (1902), Salinas, California, USA
