Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a clear golden body and a small white head. Nice citrus-orange aroma with some rye bite. Citrus and spicy, peppery mouthfeel. Light bubbles.

Tap. Poured a clear gold with a white head that laced well. Notes of hop and rye with a nice underlying fruity aroma with blueberry, peach and lemon present. The flavor disappointed after the complex aroma as it was more hop based with a slight sweet undertone and a slight spice from the rye, but still a good beer.

Pour is a bright golden with a large white head. Aroma is of mostly grain with a slight hop backbone. Flavor is again mostly dry grain with a little citrus and hop resin. I could not detect any rya at all. This is just ok an nothing i would need again.

Bomber - I normally stay far away from Arcadia brews, but I am breaking my own rule (for the second time in a week, no less) - I just can’t pass up a rye beer - unfortunately, this is really an IPA - a decent one though, I suppose - lightly hazy gold beer with a small ring of foam - there is faint rye in the aroma, but it is mostly dry, herbal/grassy hops and a bit of bready malt - medium carbonation in the mouth - fresh hoppiness up front, followed by lightly sweet, buttery flavors through the middle, and a rather thin finish - some spicy hops return, and there is a little heat on the back end, which is surprising, since this is supposedly only 6% abv - a decent IPA, but nothing memorable/stand out.

On tap at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Hazy medium orange body, thick, puffy buff head. Spicy nose with bitter pine and citrus brightness. Chewy, resiny body with citrus and pine emphasis, backed by toasty malts. Dense flavor profile and crisp, biting mouthfeel. Excellent beer.
