This tentacled terminator packs a punch - ten punches to be precise. Each hop addition adds to the intense layers of depth in this red rye IPA. Toasty caramel & cinder toffee from crystal malts, cacao richness from intensely roasted malt and the spiciness of rye. Zesty pithiness from citra and the robust resin of chinook. This small batch exclusive brew is up-front intensity matched with twisted complexity.
The can features awesome custom art from Joe Wilson.

An unfiltered caramel/mahogany body with a well-laced off-white head. The nose includes rye spice, caramel and a touch of fruitiness. Well blended elements of rye spiciness, citrus and tropical hops, caramel, and biscuit and chewy malts. Solid medium body with a slight slickness.

Can. Too close best before date so the potential is not entirely correct, searching for a fresh one for re-rating, but this have to do for now. Unclear amber body with a medium sized tan head. Aroma is mostly malty with caramel and some toast. Flavor has a nice balance between the sweet malt and bitterness, I wish I could have tasted some of the more fruitier hops as well. Fine balanced body.

Can. Clear dark amber with a decent grey/beige head. Aroma of rye, resin, pine and grapefruits. Taste of rye, malts, caramel, resin, pine, zest, grapefruits and oranges. Spicy, fruity and bitter. Moderate to strong bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Very balanced and goes down almost way too easy. Great.
