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

A hazy dark orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and lovely hoppy combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with lots of hops, but also caramel. The body is thick.

[Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] Poors thick hazy golden, no head. Lychee aroma. Medium sweet, soft and full bodued with notes of caramel and rye bread. Loads of hops simmer above. Lingering very bitter finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of sk8viking. Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel, citrus and a bit of metal. Quite full-bodied with very sweet caramel and lots of caramel. The finish isn’t really overly bitter. Pleasant. 270607

Sludgey, big oxidized citrus hop nose with chewy caramel. Why do all these Terrapins smell old as dirt? Has pineappley sweet esters with rich piney, earthy hops and a full-scale chewy maltiness. I have no idea what they’re trying to accomplish here.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours slight cloudy deep orange with a lacing white head. Mild spiced and dry hoppy fruity aroma. Mild sweet and fruity hops base flavour. Mild hoppy and dry bitter. Mild sweet and dense fruity hops finish. Smooth and tasty finish.
