Commercial Description:
Double the malt, double the hops, and double the flavor of the original Rye Pale Ale recipe. (Hence the name Rye Squared.) With its mammoth hop aroma, bitterness and flavor, this beer is not for the faint at heart. The Rye Squared clocks in at a hefty 8.5% ABV so double your pleasure and double your fun because Terrapin went a little crazy with this one! The first keg of Rye Squared went on tap at Tasty World in Athens on Monday April 25th 2005. A special thank you goes out to the newly formed Terrapin Keg Killers. We were told that Tasty World would put the Rye Squared on as soon as they finished off a keg of a "Select" beer they had on tap. When the Terrapin Keg Killers heard about this they went to Tasty world and finished off that other keg in record time. By 10pm on Monday they were enjoying the fruits of their labor when the first ever Rye Squared keg went online. Malt: 2-row pale, Munich, Malted Rye, Bisuit Malt, Honey Malt. Hops: Amarillo, Cascade, East Kent Goldings, Fuggle, Magnum

Bottle, Thanks to unclemattie. Pours a very cloudy amber, beige head with good retention. Aroma of malt and citris, and caramel. Flavor is nice and sweet, caramel malts, and nice hoppy citris with nice bitter. Palate is full body and medium carbonation. Over all, a very tasty IPA!!!

12 oz bottle from artusory, thanks Ryan. Pours a thick rich reddish amber with a tight slick very light beige head. Aroma of citrus, alcohol, rye, grain, white grapes. Creamy mouthfeel even with the very forward bubbly carbonation and a thick syrupry body round out the palate, no noticable alcohol though. Flavor of grain, alcohol, citrus rind, caramel, molasses, corn syrup. This is one serious syrupy thick beer. Good stuff but an IIPA/DIPA no Fn way.

Bottle (thanks BeerZack). Sweet bready nose, minimal hop presence. Cloudy copper with a white head. Good hop character, well balanced by obvious rye notes. Very smooth drinking

12 oz. bottle - thanks durhambeer! I’d just like to start by saying that I don’t think this one really fits into the category of an imperial IPA, it’s an imperial pale ale, and probably best categorized as an ASA, since it just doesn’t have anywhere near the hops that you’d expect from an IIPA. That being said, here goes: Light copper pour, not much white head. Aroma is a sweet maltiness with just a little bit of hops. Taste’s loaded with caramel-y sweetness, lots of maltiness, but still very smooth, and avoids the sickly sweetness that I dislike in many big, malty beers.
