Commercial Description:
We Consider this an extreme version of an American Pale Ale. It has a very up front floral and citrus aroma from a late cascade addition and dry hopping with Amarillo. This beer also has a big malt background to balance the bitterness of the hops. The rye malt cleans up your palette after you swallow so the hop flavor does not stick in your mouth too long.
Now available in bottles.

Not so bad. Reminded me of an IPA but w/o as much of a bite. Also gets some bonus points for being a "local" beer.

12 oz bottle poured into a shaker. Poured a clear straw color with a two finger white head. Lacing was moderate. Aroma was of malt, some caramel, and citrus hops. Flavor was slightly bitter. Body was light-medium with low-medium carbonation. Decent beer.

Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate to light heavy hoppy, orange, moderate grapefruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (130608)

Flaske. Fin lysravfarvet øl, med et lille skumhoved. Humlet duft, og også en fin smag. Igen er karboneringen ikke helt i orden og den virker gammel. Er overbevist om at øllen er langt bedre frisk, og derfor får den et par point ekstra.

12 oz bottle: poured light ornge witha thick creamy cream colored head. Light rye and citrusy hop aroma. Moderate hop flavor with some rye notes along with a bit of citrus and some pineapple. Slight metallic finish and somewhat dry. Good though.

Might be pretty ordinary for an APA despite boasting an interesting name but I enjoyed this a lot on a hot summer day. The rye is pretty much nonexistant for me but I like the chewy mouthfeel, the grapefruity hops and the refreshing feeling I got from this. Quite a suprise for a randomly chosen beer that I got from one nice lady as a sort of a souvenir.

Bottled: Could not believe I hadnt rated this one, this beer is classic. Pours a amber color with white lacing. Smells of rye and malt that is faint. The taste though is a smooth mouthfull of one the best pale ales!
