| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Bottle. Clear gold and small head. Floral hop aroma and yes, hints of rye. Sweet hop flavor and rye aren’t blended perfectly, but gives it a good grain flavor and texture. Medium bodied, solid brew. USCBeerMan (109), Columbia, South Carolina, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 4, 2009 Smells a bit dusty/musty...like an old book. Pours a dark yellow/orange with a clingy head, but not great. Flavor is heavy of rye and grain, a touch of piny hops showing through.Has an almost bandaid mustiness in the finish thats not so enjoyable. ksurkin (405), Norfolk, Virginia, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2009 Thanks daknole. Pours a clear pale copper amber with a large, sticky, off-white head. Floral hops aroma mingled with bread crusts. Tasty, but to me the abundant hops aren’t harmonized well with the sourdough bread malt backbone. Medium body, soft and foamy on the palate. viet959 (75), , Georgia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2009 Tested including Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Bass Pale Ale, and Terraping Rye Pale Ale. Pours a slightly light copper color with nice head. Aroma of nice kinda floral hops and caramel malt. Taste- I guess of rye(new flavor to me), has an "earthy?" taste, malty, bitter hops. Overall- It’s pretty good, it has the biggest flavor of the 3, and the best aroma. It’s the most bitter of the 3. I give this 2st place because it’s not quite a balanced as Sierra.
