Draft. Deep dark amber color, medium off white head. Aroma of lightly spiced citrus. Taste is spiced white bread, bitter finish. Tasty.

Draft sample. Dark amber. Citrus dominates the aroma and rye dominates the taste.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but was released recently. Pours slightly hazy deep ruby red/copper color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice capo that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, caramel, brown sugar, spicy rye, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops, spicy rye, and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, caramel, brown sugar, spicy rye, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind bitterness and rye spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange rind, pine, caramel, spicy rye, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/piney hops, spicy rye, and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; with a good malt/bitterness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, sticky/resinous, and creamy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good rye IPA. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of citrus/tropical/piney hops, spicy rye, and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; and very smooth and easy to drink. Definitely a lot of rye malt in this beer, but has nice balance of the hops and sweet malts as well. A very enjoyable offering.
