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 good Apa. Great flavor and a brew I’m unfamiliar with in Georgia but I will consume more of in the future. Hoppy and malty with a nice finish. Another beer I would recommend.

Pale golden color with little head aroma of malt and citrus hops ... taste of light citrus flavor and sweet malt and rye ... tiny bitter in the finish ... a light and tasty brew you can definitely detect and even flavor and balance of malt rye and hops ... sessionable

Dry aroma, good use of rye. Orange sunset gold. Kiss of the grain adds a little dryness.

12oz bottle. Dark golden orange with sticky light lacing. Lots of sweet biscuit malt with a touch of grassy orange citrus hop and faint bubblegum notes. Pale rye and crystal malt up front that has a hay taste, faint citrusy hop that is on the sweeter side with bits of caramel.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow-orange with a small white head. Aroma of grain and hops - yes you can smell a distinct rye aroma. It smells like rye bread mixed with hops, which makes this beer interesting before even taking a sip. Flavor is mostly hops. Rye is barely distinguishable from the hops in the flavor but can be noted as a subtle finish. Overall very good.

Clear light amber color/ white head. Spicy hop, mild honey malt aromas. medium body. Nice lightly sweet honey malt, floral flavors with a crisp, clean finish.

Light amber color, aroma of hops and a little spice. Flavor is slighlty spicy and moderately hoppy, but the mouthfeel is very thin. This beer is watery to me, decent flavor, but not enough of it. Average at best.

Bottle; pours pale amber with slight haze, big frothy head produces plentiful lacing. Aroma is caramel, lightly of berries, honeydew melon, slightly grapefruity-citric, and with a hint of rye. Flavor begins with a slightly bitter and resinous tension but resolves into a citric-berries, buttery bread, and melon sweetness punctuated citric and floral hops. Also some brown sugar and coffee notes come through. Palate is slightly too effervescent.
