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.

Bomber from Beer Run. Pours a hazy amber color with a large frothy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of heavy, spice rye and big, fresh citrus hops. The taste is bitter citrus hops, rye, toasted malts. Medium bodied, good balance, average carbonation, fairly strong lingering bitterness.

Bottle. Pours with a lightly hazed gold and a large white head with great lace. Aromas are hop forward with bug spray, green papaya, floral and citrus, with medium esters and light grainy to spicy malt. Flavors are floral and spicy. Medium strong bitter and (thankfully) decently dry. Grainy malt, clean yeast. Low citrus, but I wish there was a more prominent hop flavor. Very lively carbonation, medium thin body. Solid, but not very impressive on this coast.
