Rye has been a staple grain for millennia—sought after for its stubborn resilience in the field and revered for its unique flavor. Ruthless Rye IPA is brewed with rustic grains for refined flavors, combining the peppery spice of rye and the bright citrusy flavors of whole-cone hops to create a complex ale for the tumultuous transition to spring.

Bottled. Brown to amber pour. Quite a bit of head. Strong hop and floral aroma. Taste is same with rye notes.

Bottle. Nothing really special for an IPA. Taste of peppery spice and citrus. Aroma is citrus, slight spruce. Color is golden with a decent head.

Bottle at The Beer Bistro.
Clear amber pour, small off white head. NIce hoppy aroma, some grass, light citrus, and touches of spicy rye. Good carb, good mouth feel. Finish was a touch spicy, with more pine hops and some light nutty, bready malts. nothing to write home about. I think the bottle was a little old.

Bottle at the Hangover. Amber coloured with small white head. Aroma is funky, bit weird, wasabi or mustard or something, citrus bitterness. Taste is different, slight citrus bitterness, golden ale-like, citrus, malty, chewy. Slightly floral. Pretty nice.

Pours a clear amber with a thick white head. Aroma of hops and dark notes. Taste is very hoppy, distinct oak notes and slight resin. Palate is pine resin, cedar notes and resin. Definite west coast take on an IPA.

Brown color with pine resin aroma. Spicy and bitter hop flavor that lingers.
