Just the right amount of Caramel and Munich malts give Alameda Brewing American Imperial Rye IPA a perfect amber color and mouthfeel. But what is really notable are three new Northwest grown Cascade hop varieties. It’s the spicy, floral and citrus notes that make this beer a favorite.

Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, rye, malt, apricot, floral notes, fresh hops. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate to medium bitter finish. Wonderful beer, quite fruity despite being a Rye IPA.

22oz bottle pours out a copper color topped with a small head. Nose is sweet caramel rye pine and some spice. Taste is more of the sweetness and hop kick. You know i am not a big rye fan but this one was pretty good.

Bottle at tasting. Golden color. Grainy aroma of rye, pine, spice and bitter hop. Taste is mildly creamy, with grassy pine, herbs, grain, hop and a dry yeasty finish. Nice beer.

Bottled 05/16/2014, thus 10 months old bottle. A copper brown beer with a medium and blond head. Aroma has strong toffee and slightly caramell maltyness, lots of wood, some pine. Slightly weakening hoppyness, still quite fresh. Taste has toffeeish maltyness, wood, some herbal-pine hops, the bitterness is drying the strong maltyness, almost menthol in the end. Almost full bodied, quite fresh. The bottle is sadly too old but the great potential is there even the aromatic notes are suffered. Good body, balanced and strong bitterness.

65 cl bottle @ lusikka
Aroma has caramel, some hayish notes and sweet fruity tones. Flavour has grapefruit, orange, some sticky rye tones and some caramel. Like an American strong ale with some rye added. Sweet but nice anyway.

Pours orange with a thick foamy head. Aroma of rye, caramel, toffee, grassy hops, pine, hints of resin and citrus. Taste is caramely, malty and grassy with hints of citrus, pine, rye, toffee and bready notes. Finish is sweetish, malty and hoppy with some grass, rye, toffee, caramel and pine. Okay.
