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.

(Keg at Kaisla, 20130823) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and almost white. Aroma had pine, fruitiness and lightly malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, fruitiness, something medical, malts and bitterness. Afteraste was hoppy, malty and bitter. A bit musty brew but still really nice.

On tap at Oluthuone Kaisla, Helsinki. Clear amber with an off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma with malt, caramel, pine, rye bread and hints of citrus and herbs. Medium+ body with pretty average carbonation. Medium sweet, with piney and hoppy flavours and a solid bitterness. Nice IPA, but a bit heavy. (2013-08-16)
