12 ounce can from Woodman's Lakemoor, 11/30/19. Murky bronze, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of rye, grain, citrus. Taste is rye, toffee, caramel, floral hops. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness, well balanced. A little rustic in a good way.

12oz can. 7.5% ABV. Filtered copper-gold color. Pretty solid Rye IPA. Big malts, rye tones, but clean from the filtration. Well balanced, there is some respectable hoppiness. Fresh, well executed, enjoyable.

22oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear rust orange with minimal head. Aroma of citrus with a hint of rye. Taste is medium bitter, follows aroma. Pretty good.
