Oh man, I could session the shit out of this beer. Nice amber pour, moderate white head. Lovely crisp aroma of rye and slightly grassy hops (is that the Amarillo talking? not sure). Good crisp hop snap in the flavor, dry, never over the top but beautifully balanced with the rye adding a measure of interest that keeps this right on the mark. Lovely.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 13, 2009 A pretty amazing beer, poured a clear golden orange colour with a large white head. it has some rye malt in it that makes it a tad bit dryer and a little bit more acidic. Maintains some citrus notes and floral fruits. HAd it with the buddy when we were getting tipsy, but i still remember its dryness. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Bottle from my uncle. Pours a beautiful lacy mousy white heas that sits on a clear dark straw body. Aroma is fantastic plenty of amarillo hops and some citrus notes. The rye comes through very well slight graininess also. Flavor is a bit flat some hops come through atop a weak sweetened malt rye character is present but low. A beautiful beer with a great aroma just a lscking flavour. after4ever (2809), Brier, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2009 22. Pours a crystal clear dark gold with a loose and sudsy white head and stringy white lace. Beautiful spicy brown rye bread nose with some piney overtones. All about that toasty, dark, sour-black-peppery rye grain goodness, though, despite the pine having a defined, if subordinate, presence. Creamy medium body, soft carb. Nice toasty, spicy rye character with a mild sweet pine finish. Very tasty rye beer. Yum. fakepurseninja (788), Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Orange hued hazy straw body. Big fruity nose - strong grapefruit with a biscuity touch. Smooth pale malt body, nice hop presence. Very light rye spice that meld really well with the soft amarillo pepper. A bit thin but very crisp and refreshing.- good intro to ryes for the uninitiated. beersearcher (263), Glendale, California, USA
