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.

Bottle. Rye and pine hops aroma. Cloudy reddish amber color with an insanely big blonde head that has staying power. Very strong rye flavor with a citrusy hops mixed in. Nice blending - the hops and rye mingle nicely.

Thanks to Ron, on tap at Vintage Estates. Nice darkish tan head, creamy and attractive. Orangish and clear color penetrates thru this brew, darker than pale yellow. Small amount of hoppy aroma, but not over powering. The first taste comes off instant hops then it goes to fruity and friendly. After a few more sips I get some back of throat mild hop awareness. Pretty mannerly. Not quite as hoppy as pale ales, but does have a hop kick. I usually can’t appreciate hopped brews but this is almost accepatable. The finish is a culmination of medium hop bitterness and fades to a well behaved welcomed ending.

Deep hazy crimson coloured body with a very thick tannish red head with specks of brown in it. Very crazy coloured beer, but very very nice. Aroma of rye (of course) , hops, curacao, malt, and some sugars. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rye flavour in the taste up front fading to a smooth maltiness and a potent hoppiness. Aftertaste shows some alcohol, malt, curacao and of course - more rye. Overall, a very nice beer - looks amazing and tastes damn good too. Definitely worth trying if you can find this! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 02-May-2007.

A lightly hazed reddish amber ale with an extra thick light moka head. Gushed on my basement carpet. A pleasant grassy aroma with light Brett notes, sweet caramel malts and herbaceous hops. In mouth, a cooked caramel malt, with strong hopping, more herbal than grapefruits, cereals, and light medicinal notes (explaining the gushing). Medium bodied. Looses points for the loss of 1/4 of the bottle on the carpet.

bottle - Pours ruby with a big, dense head and some yeast floaters. In time, ample lacing coats the glass. The pleasant aroma smells of hops and rye. The flavor is moderate citrus hops like a good pale ale and it’s supported by well balanced rye. Medium bodied and easy to drink, a crisp finish helps make this beer very quaffable. Nicely done.

12 oz bottle. Amber color with creamy tan head with a slight orange hue. Full aroma of sweet sugary caramel malts and pine hops. The flavor is lots of pine hops with some grassiness. The sweet malts are experienced around the distant edges of the hops. Just about the end there is a rye note that surfaces. Nice lacing too.

Bottle from TPaliga; Thanks! Nose of caramel and rye bread combined with some light hops; slightly hazed copper with a medium beige head; flavor showed some hop bitterness along with rye and light caramel malts, along with some hop bitterness and some sourness. Doesn’t come close to the Alesmith Yulesmith I am rating and comparing this against!

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, amber golden with a dense, beige head leaving laces. Aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Medium body with swettish accents of caramel and then a fairly hoppy finish takes over. Nice. 191206

Bottle courtesy of Tpaliga. Poured a cloudy deep brown color ale with a huge slightly off-0white foamy head with good retention. Aroma of bitter hops is quite overpowering with some malt being noticeable. Taste is a mix between some caramel malt with some overpowering bitter and citrus hops. Rye is present though not overly noticeable. Body is above average with some low filtration, which is appreciated. While I did appreciated this beer I would have prefer less hops and a bit more rye.

Thanks to Illinismitty, a new member in Tennessee, for this one! This pours with a disappointingly small head of off-white. Medium red/orange hazy body. Big ’C Hop’ aroma. Sweet in the start, the dry bitterness builds nicely providing a well balanced finish.
