Bottle at home. Aroma is thick rye malt, hops, pine resin, ripe fruits, caramel, soft herbal/spicy notes, hint of toffee. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and bitter. Body is above medium, nice thickness and balance. A prime specimen of rye IPA, bittersweet and rich with a sturdy rye body.

Bottle. Aroma is resin and pine hops, earthy, bit of rye weirdness. Taste amps up the rye, bit of caramel. Sight sourness maybe. Quite interesting. Pretty dry. Rerate at Dig. Nice. Rye weirdness, chewy, fruity, feels boozy. Nice. Resin. Juicy. Good stuff. Up a couple of points.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Very fruity (peach, pineapple) aroma with rye bread. Rye brad in the flavor, with flowery and earthy hops. Hint of berries. There is a rude transition between the fruity aromas and the harsh bitter flavors. This beer is quite tasty, but lacks balance.

Draft at Rohnert Park location. Dark amber with creamy head, curtains of lacing. Malty aroma, some funky hops. Taste brings in the rye, dark bread flavors, more of the hops, and leaves with a nice lasting tingling on the tongue. Flavorful.
