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.

Decent, I just couldn’t get into the rye taste as I am not a huge fan of rye bread. The taste and finish are overwhelmingly of rye bread, but I got used to it by mid-bottle.

Hazy copper pour, small white head. Aroma is citrus hops. Flavor is grapefruit hops and a slight caramel sweetness which leads to a floral and dry bitterness that really lingers. Easy drinking with low bitterness but big on hop flavor. A very enjoyable pale ale, I could see myself drinking a few of these and I like it a lot better than the RYE Squared.

Thanks to jimbowood for passing this my way. Pours lightly cloudy copper with a soapy light beige head. The aroma is a bit of a sweeter malt bill than expected for a rye. There is toasted caramel malt, tropical hops and some earthiness. Medium body with fairly gentle carbonation. The flavor starts with honey, subdued maltiness, spicy bitter hoppiness with a bit of a creamy mouthfeel. The finish has more more hops, but they are all quite gentle and not very bitter - citrus, pineapple and a lingering pine / grapefruit affect. A nice unique pale ale.

Poured from bottle....nice white head with nice bubbles..nothing monstorous though and not long lasting. Nice hoppy aroma...and golden orange in appearance. Nice flavor at the start with a nice subtle punch of bitter....does not have the staying power on the palate...I like this one.

Draft...average beer...some spice, some hops and bitterness. It left me wanting more.

Bottle, mystery swap 2.0 from Turdferguson. Hops, some sweetness on the aroma, orange pour, slight head, some hops to start, but dominated by the malt, very dry finish, slight fruitiness(citrus) would make a great session beer for me, decent but mild.

12 oz. bottle from TURDFERGUSON - thanks! Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Has a mild, floral hop aroma with some sweet maltiness. The flavor is balanced between citursy hops and sweet malts with a dry, bitter finish.
