Our RyePA is special for fresh hop season.... we take the wet hops and smoke them, giving the beer a nice hint of cherry wood smoke to go with the freshness of the hops and the balance of the malts. (Original collaboration with Hilltop Station 2017).

Draft at Taphouse. Murky, dark copper, huge fluffy head. Aroma is a bit tame, flavor ticks up a bit though. Just a bit. A little bit f bitterness, a little bit if rye sourness. Lots of little bits, but not one dominates. Just OK. --- Beer merged from original tick of Smoke N Rye on 10 Oct 2024 at 23:45 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: Draft at brewery. Hazy dark amber, creamy off white head. Light smoky aroma. Taste is smoky with some rye spiciness.

On tap. Deep amber color. Moderate hop aromas and bitterness. Nice carmel malt flavors and a balanced hop character. Pretty tame for a double though.
