A Rye smile might just be hiding something, but this Rye IPA certainly isn't. With hints of Plum, Peach and Fig, this autumn inspired Rye IPA is a blustery walk in the woods. Ruddy in colour, rich and sweet and oh … is that a hint of spice?

Keg at Brewdog Lothian Road. Pours clear red with a thin off-white head. Aromas of toffee and faint spice. Taste is dry at first, then opening out to a toffee sweetness. Some stewed fruit. Sweet finish.

Dark amber colour with thin lacy head. Nice balance of grainy rye sweetness and floral, moderately bitter hop. Nice mouthfeel.

Taste comprises grapefruit, bitter tropical fruit notes, rye bread, spelt, pine needle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly resinous hop bitterness. Not bad.
