We Consider this an extreme version of an American Pale Ale. It has a very up front floral and citrus aroma from a late cascade addition and dry hopping with Amarillo. This beer also has a big malt background to balance the bitterness of the hops. The rye malt cleans up your palette after you swallow so the hop flavor does not stick in your mouth too long.

Bottle from Smoke Rise Bottle Shop in Stone Mountain, GA. The beer pours a mostly clear copper/amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing. Floral hops, malt and rye in the nose. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with hops, grapefruit and rye flavors along with some bready malt in the background. The finish is hoppy with lingering floral notes, plus some rye and malt aftertaste. Pretty solid all around.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Beautiful gold color. Light but nice hoppy aroma, fruity (Cascade). Quite thin mouthfeel, with some dry toffee flavor, but a very good hopping, resiny, dry. Good thirstquencher.

Muddled hop character brings this APA down a couple of notches. Otherwise, a nice pale ale. Gold, clear pour with small, white head. The nose hints at citrus, grapefruit, pine and orange, that doesn’t follow through in the flavor. Some notes of sweetness, mostly honey. The beer’s maltiness comes through in the flavor which is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The hops seem to be overshadowed by the malt and rye. Those rye characteristics show up toward the finish which is dry. Thanks BigMilly8.

Bottled. Clear golden orange color, short off-white head. Aroma of hop, rye, bit floral, some citrus indeed. Thick body. Caramel malty taste, bitter, rye. Obvious malty character, which makes it totally different from other pale ales. Good flavored beer for only 5.3% alcohol.

Pours a clear golden to copper color with off white head. The aroma has sharp citrus – lime – tartness to it. Behind that a definite rye aroma can be detected. The flavor is just like the aroma with a citrus hop bitterness bite that steps boldly into a lime tartness. The hop bitterness lingers all the way through the taste. About midway malt sweetness and rye malt surface. The sweetness fades into the finish leaving the lemony citrus hop bitterness to linger there alone on the palate.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 8 Oct) Amber colour with firm, frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with intense aromas of grapefruit and blood oranges. Fruity taste with notes of grapefruit, orange and some harsh rye notes. Fairly dry and hoppy finish, a bit too short though. A bit one-dimensional, but nice hop character.
