We weren’t trying to be revolutionary in 2002, we just wanted to brew an interesting beer style using extra ingredients we had on hand. The resulting contribution to craft beer’s renaissance, was this rye-centric India Pale Ale. At 85 IBUs, California Sunshine Rye IPA is exceptionally well-balanced with assertive hop bitterness, a toasty, bready malt mouthfeel, and a grassy, dry finish. Enjoy our uniquely original re-imagining of a traditional English style IPA while pondering being the craft beer polymath you surely are. RyeIPA@DevilsCanyon.com

Can at home. Aroma is chewy and spicy rye malt, bready notes, orange, citrussy hops, some pine. Flavour is a bit sweet from the rye with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Malty and fruity, lovely Rye IPA.

Can from Drygate. Hazy orange body with tiny yeast flecks floating beneath a medium off-white head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of salted caramel, tomato, marmalade and dried grass. Flavour of peppery rye, blood orange, toffee and rusted metal. Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel. Light fizz. Lots of hoppy bitterness, which I like, but it doesn’t quite come together.

Can from Firma Bier, large sample. Almost clear golden to orange color, some debris floating, medium frothy head. Aroma of citrussy hop, some cookie, grapefruit, bit caramel. Bit sweet cookie in taste, medium citrussy bitterness. Nice stuff.

650ml bottle. Barely clear, orangey, deep golden colour with absurdely huge, creamy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Minimally strawy, fruity hoppy aroma, hints of orange and mandarine, cautious rye spiciness, some candied orange peel, a waxy touch of citrus fruit peel as well. Taste is moderately sweet, fruity and slightly zesty hints of orange and mandarine, waxy overtones; light but not watery, rather simple but not monotonous. Meh. [No parallels to Maddie intended].

US pint can from Little Leeds Beer House, shared in a neighbour’s sunny back garden. Pours hazy gold with a thick white head. Aromas of resin, heady citrus. Taste is bitter, thick, toffee. Sickly finish.

Sample at the Tehachapi Beer & Wine Festival on 07/18/2015: Clear orange-gold color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing. Aroma of floral hops, malt and fruit. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, rye malt and citrus. The finish is moderately bitter with a rye and hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

16oz. can from Total Wine, Tampa. Ambrée, col épais crémeux beige. Arôme est malté, cara pâle, houblonné donnant de belles effluves d’agrumes. Seigle ajoute un léger rétro épicé, le tout ayant qcq notes de veille levure. Palais est malté, ambre, pâle, houblonné modéré surtout sur le profil agrume. Potine d’alcool perce en retrait et le tout garde un profil légèrement épicé du seigle. Retrouve un côté C-Hops avec une amertume persistante et un ajout léger de résineux et de pin.
