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.

Cloudy light amber color with egg-white-like head; maybe too much carbonation too. Uninteresting aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, highly carbonated, some malt flavor, some old hops, still some some hop resins but very limited fruitiness; strong bitterness.
Rather boring, definitively past freshness.

12oz pour at Bier Baron DC. Pours a ruddy gold with some frothy white head. Nose is bread yeast, some crust, a little cracker but most of all hops, pine, orange, grapefruit. Flavor is similar, sweet, malty, orange, soap, lemon, pine, a flick of black pepper. Zesty finish. Solid.

Bomber bought @ systembolaget. Pours cloudy reddish golden with a huge frothy offwhite head that leaves lots of thick soapy lacing on the glass while slowly dissipating. Smell is fruity, malty and tiny spicy with sweet rye bread, grapefruit juice, freshly cut grass, pine needles, black pepper corns, overripe tropical fruits and subtle hints of popcorn. Taste is bitter, tiny fruity and tiny spicy with pumpernickel bread, grapefruit juice, pine needles, resinous wood, black pepper corns, freshly cut grass, unripe mango, brewers yeast and hints of roasted malts. Mouthfeel is tiny round, tiny watery, slightly astringent and medium bodied. Finish is bitter with pumpernickel bread, grapefruit juice, unripe mango, pine needles, freshly cut grass and resinous wood. Quite good in this state, a very solid rye IPA fresh I’d imagine.

22oz bomber pours with an opaque coppery to orange body that supports a nice looking light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up citrus, some lime, mango, lemon grass, a rye bread twang and a touch of peat. The taste is similar with grapefruit, tangelo and mango fruity hoppiness mixing with pine and a yeasty sort of faint peat note. It has a nice juicy hop fruity flavor sensation that quickly becomes overshadowed by firm hop bitterness to resiny hops as well as some mineral notes and a bit of biscuit like malts. Nice hoppy brew. It reminds me of some of the European IPA or IIPA I’ve had.

Bottled, from Systembolaget (7.0%) Cloudy deep golden, rich firm head. Aroma of tropical fruits and blueberry. Mid sweet with full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Peppered canteloupe and mango, some grapefruit. Long growing bitterness. Creamy and seemless. Thoroughly well made.
