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.

Pours a golden orange color with a small off white head. Aroma is of citrus and hops. Pine flavor up front gives way to citrus and a mild sweet maltiness. Rather nice

Pours a yellowish Amber with a reasonalbel off white head. The head leaves a bit of lace and mostly diminishes. The flavor is very faint and has a bit of cereal moltiness. The flavor has a light bitterness and some definite rye although it is not strong. Finish is short and body is quite light. Refreshing but forgetable.

orange brew with thin -WHITE- head. nice upfront toffee like sweetness infused with a bright clear grapefruit hop dynamic that is muted and recessed but, still what it is. slightly slick and velvety i perhaps imagine the rye and white pepper attribute in the carbonation which is thin small and tight. a good brew that comes to mind as balanced and diffuse....yet offset and unsettled.

Bottle. Pours nice redish orange with 2 finger white head. Nose is citrus hops with a sweet tinge that plays nice with the hops. Bready malt taste with light grapefruit, citrus and caramel. Mouthfeel is nice with a good carbonation. Tasty brew.

12 oz. bottle. Pours clear light amber color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma is medium sweet light citrus and rye bread. The flavor is mildly sweet, light grapefruit citrus, rye, caramel malt, and a touch of pine. Medium bodied, finishes dry.

Medium amber color that pour with fairly weak head. Aroma is citrus with good piney hops. Flavor is interesting. It contains hints of nut and citrus especially grapefruit with strong bitterness that is slightly overpowering. The malt is well balanced so that it does not get in the way as with bigger beers and the hops do not overpower as can be the case with some high hop content beers. Finishes pretty clean but has a bit of stickyness and a drying quality on the tongue. Overall, not too bad a beer that I would drink again.
