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 golden color with very small white ring of a head. Nose is slight hop with a floral and citrusy making the biggest splash. Flavor wise its like a mild IPA, hops and very slight hint of the namesake rye. Enjoyable, but not as good as their Big Hoppy monster!

From the 12 oz bottle thanks to shp555 during the Alesmith BA release party. Yellow pour with a decent head. Some bright fruit aromas, and some hop presence on the finish. Pretty good.

Mild is the best word to describe this beer. Has a mild rye (w\ may be a hint of orange) smell. A lite colour. Very little head. Slightly bitter. All in all it’s a good easy to drink beer!

Pours an amber. Medium head. Smell of rye and citrus. Taste of rye and citrus as well. Finish is quick. Beer does clean your palate its like an astringent.

From bottle : Pours a medium gold, somewhat clear with a small white head that quickly dies to a white foamy ring but leaves nice lacing on the glass. Nose of big floral and citrus hops. A little bit of bitterness up front then a big wave of sweet malts calm the bitterness down, and has a very nice finish. Palate is thicker than most APA that i have had, a little sticky towards the end but nothing too bad. Quite good.

Not a bad beer. The first thing that hit me was the sweet citrus nose and I was thinking "this will be way too much" and it was (but not in a bad way). Sweet malty flavor with a wee bit of hops, the body was a little heavy and cloying and the finish seems to be a long sweet ending. I’d drink it again.

Had this both from 12oz bottle and from draft. Can sense the rye much more in the draft, but the bottle is still a great find. Pours a nice golden color with a creamy head. Aroma features a base of bread and hops with some sweetness in there. Flavor is sweet with a bit of bitterness..definitely gets a bit sticky palate to match the sweetness as it warms. Great choice.
