| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 22, 2009 Aroma is a melange of hops and mostly spicy, herbal and grassy with a different graininess than usual. pours light amber with tremendous head from the large amount of rye. head is not going anywhere and laced quite a lot. flavor is herbal hops with hints of grassiness, grainy, and quite full bodied. a okay beer. mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 17, 2009 Pours a cloudy dark orange, with a small off white head. Smells of prety crisp hops, some grapefruit citrus, and a hint of pine. The flavor is pretty similar. Pretty fruity, lots of juicy citrus in there too, more fruity than hoppy I would say. Not overly itter on the finish either. Very nice drinking IPA, very flavorful, with nice body to it. Not bad at all. hopscotch (5511), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2009 Bottle… Clear golden ale with very little in the way of a head. The nose is a nice biscuit and fruit blend – tropical fruit, grapefruit. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Leans a touch toward the bitter side of balance, but it’s not over-hopped or overblown. Nice toffee and grapefruit. Lengthy grassy finish. Kudos to mgumby10 for the sample! jonnabrix (136), Newberrytown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Growler fresh from the brewery. Pours amber with fluffy white head and leaves a nice lacing. Citrus and sweet floral hop aroma, with hints of the graun present. Flavor followed suit, with additional rye and honey noticeable. Different and good. abcfan (247), New Jersey, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Not a big fan of rye, especially when used in an IPA. Had a very odd taste to me. JB175 (1664), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Amber-red color with a rye-dominant aroma that features some nice citrus hops. Flavor is hoppy, a little sweet, and very heavy on the rye. More classic rye than Rye IPA, but still pretty good. daknole (3000), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 12, 2009 machfive55 rocks! And nice amber color. White grapefruit on the nose. Flavor is hoppy and light malts. Easy drinking, nice IPA...but doesn’t stand out as amazing. still a well crafted. douglas88 (1646), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Bottle thanks to machfive55. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is nice full citrus hops. Some light grains as well. A rich flavor of citrus hops, light pine, some medium rye and grain flavors. Pretty damn nice. Not alcohol at all noticed. A nice creamy mouthfeel. A very nice IPA.
