IPA Brewed with Rye
Serious hop bitterness, along with an unyielding grapefruit bouquet from the Amarillo dry hop, balances the malty richness of four varieties of imported Belgian caramel malts. Pours a spectacular crimson with a creamy tan head. A generous addition of rye malt accentuates a spicy, crisp finish.

Pours with a light brown, creamy head covering a clear red body with some particles. Grat lacing. Aroma of malts, currants, some caramel and rye. Taste is sweet and malty with a nice hop bite. Tastes like an imperial red but with less alcohol. Lively bubbles. Great beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy orange red with a fairly large light tan head. Aroma very muted at first, but I think I can detect some hoppy aromas, then the rye comes out as the dominant aroma as the head subsides. The rye is in the flavor up front, with spicy and grapefruit hop flavors lending a hand and even going a bit more lemony. Caramel in there as well. Bubbly palate, lacing down the glass. Definitely puts the rye up front as intended (I assume), and makes a very good beer while doing so.

Pours a translucent, nearly opaque, cloudy, ruby red with a thin slightly off white head. Aroma is very spicy, malty, grainy and slightly citrus with a sort of sweet and sour thing going on. Flavor is very grainy and chewy, with some mild sweetness, plenty of spice, some citrus. Heavy mouthfeel but smooth and crisp on the palate.

Roasted "red" malt aroma backed with a deal of hop. Mahogany color with a vigorous white head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. The flavor is smooth roasted malt with resin and citrus hop. Rye flavor comes out with time, and the balance of malt and hop is pretty good. The finish is lightly sweet and strongly hopped. Very good drink.

This ale poured a dark orange colour with a white rocky head. To the nose there was scents of strong hopps, pine and floral bouqets. First taste was smooth with good carbonation. Flavours include rye bread, pine (hopps), grass and citrus. The finish is bitter with strong hopp flavour that last through into the palate.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours slight hazy deep orange with a light orange diminishing head. Peach fruity aroma, slight woody. Flavour holds a soft rye breadish malt base with a quite nice fruity hoppy flavour on top. Ends in a slight woody tone and a solid bitterness.

A good hop aroma, herbal and some pine. Balanced by sweet malt, and more hops in the flavor. This beer could probably fit in the American pale ale category. Copper color and well carbonated.

12 oz. bottle Gregis brought back for me from Corral in IL. Pour is red with soft orange highlights. Nice, fluffy tan head. Aroma is the rye, hay and some earthy hops. Taste is primarily dry slightly sweet malt and a nice sharp rye bite. Nice bitter hop finish.

Bottle from Eithcubes - Thanks! Pours a hazy deep amber with a large, creamy beige head. Thick lacing. Aromatic of citrus and pine, some maltiness present. Taste is deep and resinlike, mostly piney hops with a dry citrus tail. Doesn’t have the sweet malt backbone like IPA’s with this type of hops presence. A little caramel malt is detectable. Very pleasant and easily drinkable.
