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.

Bottle. Amber colour with a small head. Refreshing grapefruit nose blending with good spicy rye. Spicy rye malts with a good bitterness. Not bad- but then I am quite fond of rye in beer, and cascade hops are always refreshing.

Bottle. Caramelly, sweet, refreshing hoppy aroma. Clear dark golden colour, small white head. There are also some caramel notes in a slightly sweet hop flavour. Nice, but could be better.

(Sample from July 18, 2008 Beer Club Meeting) Light gold/amber color. Hoppy and grainy aroma. Taste is much like a sweet/rye pale ale… oh, I suppose that’s what this is, isn’t it? Light body, comfortable aftertaste, light and crisp! Well done!

Bottle--Quality stuff, dark amber coloring with a medum head. The aroma was of medium strength hops. The flavor started with some brief malt taste with hops coming up quickly. The finish wasn’t bitter or sticky that is expected with hops. Produce Place 1.49

12oz bottle. pours clear orange-amber with a frothy, medium sized off-white head. Really enticing aroma, with earthy hops and rye. Flavor exhibits some sweet caramel malt up front, which is quickly joined by the rye and floral hops. Long, moderately bitter finish. Very drinkable pale ale; the rye adds a very nice dimension.

12 oz bottle. Poured clear copper in color with a large frothy beige sticky head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of rye malts, with a bit of sweet floral hops. Tastes of Rye, floral hops, caramel, and a little mild citrus. Nice body and certainly and easy drinker. Pretty good.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Citrus and grapefruit aroma. Mild spiced too. Light breadish malt flavour with a light citrus fruity note on top. Slowly building bitterness into the finish.

Pretty solid. Sort of dry for my taste. Probably b/c of the rye. Flowery and a little citrussy too.
