This beer is brewed with our proprietary yeast – the same yeast we’ve used since first brewing Harpoon Ale – and some interesting hop varieties. The combination of Pale, Rye, Caramel 60, Flaked Rye, and Vienna yield a complex malt body that stands up to the spiciness of the rye and the pronounced hop flavor. The rye also adds a reddish hue to the beer. The kettle additions of Centennial, Apollo, and Chinook, and the dry hop addition of Falconer’s Flight add a multidimensional hop character.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours copper with a creamy off-white head that laces a bit. Aroma is lightly rye with some mixed, mostly citrus(?), hop. Med body. The rye spice is very present, and there’s some grapefruit aspects, and perhaps a little light pitted fruit. Finishes rye and dry and decently bitter. Nice.

Bottle. Pours a clear orange with medium frothy white head. The aroma is citrus and honey. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet hop and honey with nice smooth finish. Easy to drink hiding alcohol well, a very good IPA from Harpoon.

Yes, a dull ipa aroma. A little darker than most ipa. Big dull ipa impact. Long lasting rude nasty ipa finish. Yes, big nasty ipa on style thing here. Rototiller across the back f my tongue and down the gullet. Not sure if I can tell the difference betweena big ipa and a rye ipa, pretty close.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks zvikar. Hazy amber. Aroma of some malt, piney and citric hops, a bit "green", and a light stale notes. Flavor has a bit of malt, spicy rye notes and slightly stale hops bitterness. Medium-bodied.

Location: Draft at HopsScotch, 9/22/11

Aroma: The nose has some rye bread, citrus hops, some spice, and a little pine
Appearance: It pours a cloudy caramel color with a small beige head and heavy lace
Flavor: This one tastes light sweet, with some rye and spice, and a medium hop bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it feels slightly sticky, has a soft carbonation, and a somewhat dry finish
Overall Impression: Harpoon did a good job here melding the rye and classic IPA flavors together into a successful beer. I certainly enjoyed it.

Moderate grass and orange peel nose. Clear copper, medium head, good lace. Bready malt flavor, balanced by grass and lillies. Solid bitterness, but not so biting. No west coast character, but a nice offering and change of pace. Good hop diversity and balance. I like more of a citrus note in an IPA, but I can’t argue with the results of this one.

On tap at The Farmhouse Tap & Grill, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out candied sugar on top, with the rye to follow and some mild citrus hops. Flavour of heavy rye and rock candies, with citrusy hops lingering on the mouthfeel. This one is cloyingly sweet and not in good balance. Way too much of the candy, shy on the rye and shy on the hops. Not good.

Super hazy golden coloured body with a rich, honey and light copper glow with a thick, dense, three centimetre tall tan head - very nice. Aroma of pungent rye and other grains, some bright earthy and citric hop notes with quite a bit of herbal and grassy accents. Medium-bodied; Assertive rye flavour with a long-lasting hop bitterness, a great malt backbone and some herbal and yeastie notes to be aware of. Aftertaste shows mostly the hop bitterness, some good malt/rye glances and a definite herbal flavour to tail off to. Overall, a very nice Rye IPA - perhaps one of the better ones that I’ve had, with a great balance and enough of the grain to show notes of, but not too much to take away from the IPA qualities of this one. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey for US$1.65 on 22-July-2012 sampled at home in Washington on 11-September-2012 for the11th anniversary of the attacks in New York and here in town. Cheers to all the brave men and women who continue to fight for us in response to the attacks.

Draft @ Thirsty Moose. Served in a standard pint glass. Color is hazy amber with near no head to speak of. Very low carbonation. Nose is mostly citrus hops with a light pine aroma. Mild malt profile, pine bitterness shows with some slight rye coming through after the end sip. If I let the beer linger in my mouth and swallow slow, I pick out the rye much more. Good peppery, spicy rye as it gets near room temp. Medium bodied. Finish is mostly dry. Pretty well made.

~6 oz sampler at the Harpoon taproom in Boston Logan airport. The pour is mostly clear copper orange, with a small off white head. The aroma is light citrus hop, along with rye grain - nice interplay, though both aromas are pretty faint. The taste picks up on the spicy Rye, and then leads to resinous and the citrus orange fruit hop. Nice balance of flavors. The palate is medium bodied, low carbonation level, and a clean finish. Nice one.
