Not a bad rye IPA, a hair on the sweet side yet with an appreciably bitter back end and a solid dose of rye. Starts with a deep burst of caramel malts, as sugary as can be summoned from the 7.3% ABV, with some yeasty esters that recall Rogue’s Pacman. Quickly grows a resinous, piney middle, with the rye slowly taking over the finish. Pretty pour, burnt orange-red with a white head and nice lacing. Aroma’s a letdown, grainy and wort-ish, but the texture’s good, creamy yet perky enough to help ease through the pinecone back side. If only it was little less sweet...

Draft at Jocks and Jills, Waverly, 3/4/15
I though this was a pretty nice Rye IPA. The hop flavors actually came through nicely along with the spice from the rye bread. Definitely something I would order again, especially on a macro-centric list like the one at Jocks and Jills.

Sample at the Craft Beer Factory in Marietta. Reddish brown color, with a thick, tan head. Big nose of butter toffee, with some caramel, rye, and cloves. Very sweet, with not a lot of bitterness. Medium body, smooth and creamy. This is a candy-like, sweet beer, with a great mouthfeel.
