Jul 24, 2006 Bottle from Walt. Think and syrupy golden brew with a meer ring around the glass. Nose is grapefruity hops with a nice sweet syrupy under note. Fresh and de-lish on the tongue.

Jul 24, 2006 The aroma on this beer is another great double ipa aroma. Huge citrus and grapefruit smells erupt from this beer. There was a lot of yeast in the bottle...way more than I have seen in other double ipas. The flavor is a good mix of sweet malt flavors, with a good floral taste coming through, prolly from the cascade and amarillo hops. There is also just a little bit of a bitter in the taste...could that be from the rye? Overall another very good beer. I have yet to be disappointed from terrapin.

Jul 23, 2006 Updated: Oct 13, 2006This beer resembles the normal Terrapin Rye in appearance (orange with light tan head). The aroma has some bready sweetness combined with big citrus/grapefruit from the hops. The flavor is a pleasant combination of sweet malts (some caramel flavor - perhaps from the belgian biscuit or german honey malts) and in-your-face hoppiness. Unlike the normal Rye beer, the hoppiness is very long on flavor (the normal Rye beer is also long on flavor, but packs more punch in the bitterness department). Perhaps due to the extra gravity and extra residual sweetness from malts, this beer doesn’t taste as bitter - but the hop presence certainly makes itself known. An excellent american barleywine / imperial IPA (and the only example I know of that is brewed in Georgia)

Jul 23, 2006 This beer pours a deep clear reddish amber with a nice lasting white head. Aroma is huge malts with some earthy and passion fruit hops. The body is big and filling. The flavors are hugely sweetish malts with some nice inderlying hoppy pizazze. Some mango, pine, spicy earthiness, but this is a decidedly malty beer. The finish is hardly what I would call bitter. This would do better as an American Strong Ale.

Jul 23, 2006 Thanks to dickinsonbeer for the trade. Pours a hazy copper amber with a medium foamy off white head that laced and sustained. Great looking beer. Aroma of orange, caramel malt, rye, sweet maltiness with a hint of toasted malts and bread dough. Flavor was a nice mix of light pine, rye, chewy hops, caramel, a hint of bitterness and just a great overall balanced. Just about exactly what I’m looking for in a great IIPA.

Jul 21, 2006 12 ounce bottle. Many thanks to Rudolf for accidentally forgetting it in my cooler in the aftermath of Belgium Comes to Cooperstown--I owe you. Citrus, sweet, hoppy, dry rye aroma. Very aromatic and quaffable. mild to moderately hazy copper-amberish color with a small, and disappointing small off-white head. Almost looks flat. Sweet, citrus hoppy flavors to start, which turns rather sweet and nicely malty. There is some dry rye flavors later on. Crisp, smooth, tasty. Very well balanced. My big beef with this beer is the lack of head.

Jul 21, 2006 Bottle, thanks to kp. Muddy dark orange appearance, with a lot of floaties in there as well. Even when the bits settled this beer was considerably murky. Nose is heavy rye, old oranges, juicy pine sap hops and some very sweet tomato/mango scents. Sticky and thick, sweet yet tart, varying across the tongue. Viscous, husky, bready even at times. Some sweet peaches noticed in there as well. Interesting and different, which is always good.

Jul 21, 2006 12oz - Secret Santa July 06 - Aroma of sweet carmel, hops, and rye. Pours cloudy orange with a small head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with some woody undertones and the citrus coming out. Hides alcohol very well. Palate is tart and creamy at the same time. Not like any DIPA I’ve had. Interesting and very tasty.
