| 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 (415), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2009 12oz bottle from total wine in greenville. pours a clear, pale gold with a very thin white head a minimal lacing. aroma is very floral, with notes of sunflower and rose, with hints of orange and lemon zest, and a bit of light malt sweetness. flavor is very crisp and clean with light citrus and floral flavors, light malts, caraway seeds, and a mild spice note on the finish. palate is on the lighter side, with good balance, and solid carbonation. overall, a very solid, refreshing beer. slf245 (50), USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 3, 2009 Golden color with a slight bite to it. Okay, glad to have tried, but won’t need to buy again. noncaloric (630), Madison, Wisconsin, 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. raradel (34), Greenville, South Carolina, USA
