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.

Very citrusey aroma. Flavor has a great mix of sweetness and bitterness, ending on a dry note from the rye. Some faint florals in this - and it left me wanting more of that. Another good entry from Terrapin.

Bottle courtesy of TheBeerCellar. Pours a lightly hazy amber with a finger of creamy off-white head that collapses to a thin skin at the surface. The aroma is of floral and citric hops over pale malt, with a touch of rye at the finish. Light to medium-bodied with creamy-soft carbonation and a tight bitter finish that hits and disappears fairly quickly. Pale malt and light rye with a nice balance of floral and citric hops. This is a tasty, easy drinking APA; quite sessionable. I imagine this is a staple brew in a lot of fridges in the southeast. Thanks again for the bottle, Matt.

Bright amber appearance with a large, off white head and good lacing. Mild, citrus hop aroma dominated by grapefruit. Rye malt takes on a toasty note before giving way to the lemony, citrusy hop flavors. Medium bodied, decently carbonated maouthfeel. Lingering, bitter finish. Very easy to drink.....and drink.

From the bottle. Pours a nice dark coppery orange with a nice head. Aroma is flowery, with a touch of freshly mown hay or grass. Taste is dry and a bit bitter but with a true rye flavor. Finish is a bit light and watery but overall a great example.
