Jul 2, 2008 12oz. bottle. Dark malty, grainy aroma, suggestions of the palm sugar and rye, showing hints of citrus, fresh hops and brown sugar. Medium sienna in color, head is uneven and lasting, nice lacing as well. Flavor contains a fairly unique and strong blend of sugary malts and hop citrus, combined with dry, chocolate malt touches and a lasting, spicy bitterness. Coats the palate in an intriguing way. Certain unfamilar fruity aftertaste. Active and effervescent on the palate, dry with a lingering bitter quality. Body is fairly full, even a bit of warmth here. Lingering phenolic character late (menthol?). Very unexpectedly different creation. Thanks to csbosox for the chance to try it.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle. Reddish-brown pour with very little head. Aroma of sweet malt, rye and hops. Lots of rye and hop bitterness in the flavor. Nice sweetness from the palm sugar. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Very nice beer.

Jun 29, 2008 Ruby red in color, shimmering when held to the light like a quality gem. Beautiful frothy eggshell head. Aroma is somewhat citrusy aroma is present, along with a nice malty sweetness. The rye is more evident in the flavor. This is definitely the tastiest rye inspired beer that I’ve had. Orange zest, brown sugar, and spice. Very impressive!!!

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle compliments of bgburdman9. Dark mahogany colour with a foamy tan head that hangs around a little. Nice citrus hop aroma but doesn’t overpower some of the sugar/caramel scents. Flavour was pink grapfruit hops and a little brown sugar, especially near the end. Clean finish and easy to drink.

Jun 28, 2008 Effervescent. Complex flavor and aroma with lots of tasty layers. The sugar adds a nice dryness, yet provides some nice complexity, while the rye and summit add their spicy, aromatic flavors. Very inventive.

Jun 27, 2008 Yum. Dark amber pour with an off white head and nice lacing. Piney hop nose. A piney yet sweet/sugary taste. Killed my palate.

Jun 23, 2008 (Bottle courtesy of Headbanger). Aroma is a pine like hop scent. Color is a rich ruby with mellow carbonation and a thin ring of a head. Taste is rich and citric. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp. Finish comes in with a big bold grapefruit taste that has a slight sweetness to it and a rich feel, then a faint bitterness comes on. After taste is surprisingly clean with a slight dry feel and a little of the grapefruit lingering. This is a tasty and very unique brew, but I think the grapefruit taste is a little strong.
