In craft beer, there are almost as many bad rye puns as there are bad hop puns; Smuttynose is happy to spare you from more of either. Instead, we’ll tell you about our new Big Beer, Rhye IPA. We brewed it because we like drinking hoppy American-style beers and we wanted a chance to brew with rye. The rest, as they say, is history. The result is a 7% hoppy IPA, with rye spiciness and big hop character. This beer will really get under your armor…
The image on the Rhye IPA label is a famous drawing of an Indian rhinoceros by 16th century German painter and printmaker, Albrecht Dürer. Dürer had never seen the creature before and created the drawing based on one description and a crudely scribbled sketch.

Tåkete brunorange i fargen med tynt hvitt skum. Appelsinskall, grape korn og humlelukt. Stram bitter humle og grape i smaken. Bitterheten sitter godt igjen.

Bottle at Yespr’s. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is fresh, grassy, floral, light spice and some citrus peel. The taste is crisp, bitter, spice, hay, straw, earthiness, sherbet, grass, pepper and a touch of alcohol with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Crisp, rounded and very drinkable stuff.

650ml bottle from Bierkompass

Pours dark orange with a thick white head. Aroma of caramely malts, sweet notes, hops, floral notes and grass. Taste is smooth, malty and sweetish with notes of rye, caramel, floral notes, fruits and grass. Finish is smooth, bitter and malty with notes of rye, caramel and hops. Okay, quite smooth and heavy IPA.

65 cl bottle @ home, bottled 2013
Aroma is resiny with caramel and fruity hops. Also some biscuits. Flavour is slightly harsh with caramel, some malty tones, biscuits and lots of fruity hops. Alcohol is present, but does not disturb. Very good IPA.
