Bold hop flavor and full-bodied malt combine in this IPA, inspired by our classic Torpedo but brewed with rye malt.

Turns out rye malt doesn’t really improve Torpedo. Spicy rye notes are nice but I’m still not a fan of the dull hop flavors this beer provides, mostly coming across as a flood of pine laced with citrus pith. Looks pretty, though.

Can. Deep orolden-orange, light haze, lovely head. Beautiful nose: orange and grapefruit peel, rye, pine, malts. Flavor is spicy rye, grapefruit and orange peel, pine, malt, light hose. Quite nice. Was looking forward to this all day as the only rye I've been drinking lately comes in the form of whiskey.

Bought locally, canned February 4th.
Pours a clear 24k gold with over a finger of foam, retention and lacing are fine.
The smell is of pine, spicy rye, sweetish hoppy, tropical fruit.
The taste is pine, spicy rye, toasted malt with some tropical fruit that brings a slight dankness.
Mouthfeel is fine, I would drink this again. Part of the mixed 12pack.
