Indian Rye IPA

Draft at the source. Menu says Indian Pale Ale. Hazy golden amber color. Aroma of spiced brown bread. Taste is deeply spiced toast. Tasty.

On tap at the brewpub it is a clear amber color with a slight head
The aroma is a citrus scent and the taste is a strong bitter flavor that evolves into a bitter orange finish

On draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear copper with an off white head. Grassy flavors with spicy rye notes and maybe a bit of citrus lurking about. Pretty tasy.

24k gold colour, 1" head of foam with good lacing.

The smell was very balanced. Hop, malt, some notes of rye. None dominated but the aroma was very nice/.

The taste was equally balanced. Nice sweet notes from the malt, an equally proportioned amount of bitterness, some spicy rye notes. Very nice taste and easy to drink.

I was going to vote this as the best beer for the event but Snake River Pako’s was also there and I couldn’t help myself by passing the vote to anything other than the Pako’s. Definitely a beer to try if you get the chance though.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a clear golden color with a small off-white head and good lacing.
The smell had some light floral and mild caramel notes adding a slight rye ever so slight in the background.
The taste was floral and sweet through the caramel and rye spices.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light and pretty sessionable.
Overall, good Rye Beer with added complexities to assist in making a fairly fine brew.
