May 18, 2009 On draft at Teresa’s. Poured deep, hazy amber. Where’s the hops? I found this beer one-sided and dominated by rye malt. The hop kick just was never there. Disappointing.

May 17, 2009 On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours dark amber with a tan head. Nose is rye, malr, and a bit of bread and grass. Flavor is lots of rye with leveling hops and citrus/ pine. Very enjoyable rye beer- relatively light bodied and refreshing.

Apr 27, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of sholland119 poured into a tulip. Trying this one side by side with another recent PA rye beer, Scracth 18.
Pours a deep clear amber with a big creamy off-white head that stayed on as a cap for a while and left decent lacing.
The aroma was more bready malts than rye with a little bit of spiciness coming through but not much. There was a healthy dose of citrus hops and some caramel sweetness as well.
That’s where the spiciness went...to the taste. The taste starts with the same caramel and bready malts that dominated the aroma but the rye really comes on in the finish with a spiciness that builds up after each sip.
Naturally, the mouthfeel is very smooth and has decent carbonation.
This is a very good rye beer and pretty drinkable. The rye is present but not overpowering by any means which contributes to the drinkability.

Apr 27, 2009 Tap at redlight. I had tasted Exponential hoppiness right before, so it’s really not fair. Much much milder hops than I’d have. Amber caramel color. Pretty good.

Apr 22, 2009 On tap at OTH. Pours deep copper with off white head and nice full on sheet lacing. The aroma is roasty with a dash of caramel to go along with mild grapefruit hops to faint pine. The taste is roasty with a touch of malt astringency and then a twang of rye. Then I get modest levels of grapefruit hops, tangelo and faint bitter hop resin joining in and taking it to closure. Seems like a solid Amber Ale.
