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

pours a not so clear copper with a small head. aroma has a distinct rye bitterness to it and a hint of alcohol. mouthful is bold and with a nice bitter rye edge. alcohol note i too hot for my liking.

(bottle) A hazy dark copper body. Big beige head with stiff peaks. Aroma is roasted, sweet caramel malt with underlying hops. Certainly stronger flavor than the regular Rye Pale Ale. The alcohol is much stronger than I expected. Hoppier than the original, too. And sweet - but that caramel sweetness comes through mostly in the after taste (along with a slow alcohol burn). Medium to full bodied. I prefer the Rye Pale Ale, but this is very good.

Brown ale, slightly cloudy with red tint and light carbonation. Malty, sweet aroma, with the presence of hops underlying. Luscious, smooth mouthfeel.

Pours orangish color with off white head. Aromas of floral hops and rye. Sweet malty flavor with some grapefruity hops and a little alcohol. Medium body with average carbonation and a slightly syrupy mouthfeel.

Bottle - this beast pours an amber color with a beige head. Lots of hop and citrus aroma along with some pine, bread, malt and caramel. Taste of HOPS, citrus, bready malts, caramel and some bitterness that hides the alcohol. Perfect carbonation. Best Terrapin brew I have had to date - kick ass Imperial IPA that reminds me why this is my favorite style - bar none.

Really delicious, earthy and bready, yeasty and certainly hoppy. Like some fancy pants expensive bread with grapefruit. Chewy and thick. But, in my opinion, not worth the price increase from the regular rye pale ale. Bottle at Food Stores, Coral Gables.
