Bottle from the Fall 2009 Michelob sampler pack. The pour is warm copper colored and carbonation is ample. The first take on aroma is pleasant and then the you realize the rye, hops, and piney faint citrus aromas. note: I agree with heemer77 about the yeast. respectable beer from a macro.

Dec 8, 2009 12 oz. bottle- I’ve never had a Rye P.A. before, so this is new to me, pours dark amber with little head. Aroma is bread and malt, the flavor is very malty and somewhat sweet. Overall it lacks depth and isn’t very good, the worst michelob beer I’ve had.

Dec 5, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark red brown with a rocky off white head, strange. Aroma is light on the hops for an IPA,a bit grainy, some rye, a bit of dark fruit, muddled all around. Flavor starts with lots of caramel and toffee. Gets some fruitiness and picks up just a bit of chocolate. Very strange. Some hop bitterness in the finish but so little hop presence. Medium body and a very soft carbonation. Really weird beer, tastes more like an amber or weak brown ale than an ipa. After warming some, the hop flavors get a bit better so i will raise the score slightly.

Dec 2, 2009 I was actually surprised here. Clear amber (almost copper) pour. Thick tan head and spotty lace. Aroma is this beers downfall. Toffee and corn. Citric hops, toasted malts, caramel, and toffee. Bitter & dry finish. Bitterness lingers

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle from sampler pack. Pours a clear, dark amber color with a decent, clingy, beige head that lasts. Taste is of roasted malt, pine, citrus, caramel, toffee and spice. Has a nice bitterness to it. Similar aroma. Very easy to drink and rather enjoyable. For the price, this is a really nice offering from Michelob/A-B.

Nov 30, 2009 12 oz bottle. Aroma of caramel, rye, citrus. Pours brownish amber with a rocky head. Nice lacing. Tastes of rye bread, caramel; bitter. Light-bodied, lightly carbonated. Bitter finish. Not terrible, but not very well done.

Nov 29, 2009 Pours a transparent brown with a small off white head. Aroma is rye, malt, hops, spices. Flavor is rye, malt, biscuit, bitter hops, a bit soapy with a bitter finish. Surprised to taste the rye and hops so much in this beer. Good effort from Michelob, keep em coming.
