Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - hazy copper beer, with the faint wisp of a head - the rye is a lot more apparent in the aroma than I expected, but a strong hop presence keeps it from being overpowering - a little bit of buttery, bready character in the aroma as well - some floral notes up front, but mostly strong bitter hops throughout, with rye poking through at the start and finish - malt sweetness doesn’t quite balance it out, as it stays strongly bitter, but it’s a mighty tasty bitterness - one-dimensional, but good.

Sample at the brewpub: Pours a light orange-amber color with a thin light beige head, and thin rings of lacing. The aroma consists of hops and rye. Medium, soft body, with a flavorful mix of hops, rye and citrus. The finish is hoppy with hints of citrus and nuts lingering. Pretty good all around.

Bottled. A big malty smell upon opening. Nice amber pour under a slightly rocky, slightly tan head. Big caranel malty taste, too, with a notable alcohol component. Rye is there mostly as a spicy kick to a mostly, I think, German hop list (okay, now that I’ve read the description here, I’m wrong about the pedigree of the hop. But it’s still a good bittering hop instead of going over the top in an APA way).
