Red Rye IPA. Some beers are hop centric, others malt centric, our Red Rye IPA is a tightrope walk between the two, big chewy malt flavours balanced against tropical hops and bitterness, complex with a hint of pepper from the Rye malt.

Reddish brown, gorgeous colour, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of soft fruity caramel, fruity malts, good aroma
Taste - Caramel malts, fruity malts, hedgerow fruits, blackcurrants, red berries, hint of apple, very fruity, light bitter bit spicy hops, really good flavour
Palate - Bit viscous and sticky, medium body. Finish - increased hoppiness, bit of grapefruit and slight hint of toffee apple
Overall - An excellent example of an amber ale

Cask at the Craft. Clear amber beer, little white head. Smooth palate, semi dry. A little toffee in the malt which has some dark character. Nice hops, juicy and fresh - red berry fruits and jiucy orange marmalade. Semi dry finish. Decent.

Re-rate from keg at the Red Squirrel. Really very bland on keg in nose and taste. Very few high notes. In this version would give a straight 3.0 so average and benefit of the doubt given. Previous rating on 08.04.12 from a 50cl bottle. 6+5+6+4+14 = 3.5 Pours amber to brown with a nicely proportioned creamy head. The nose has oranges and apricots with a creamy background. The taste has mandarins and a burnt rubber and citrus pith finish. The palate has a medium bodied, nice creamy texture and a dry clean finish - slightly astringent for me! Overall, good beer and nice to see itโs bottle conditioned!

Bottle shared at The Kernel. Pours clear amber with a soft, white head. Toast, light toffee and fruits on the nose. Light sweet flavor, light toast and toasty caramel, some lovely pine bitterness. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Dries nicely to finish, with notes of toasty toffee, pine, sweet toast, mild resinous pine. Very solid beer.
