Bottle. Amber body with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, orange peel, lemon, caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/sticky texture, lively carbonation. The sweet start carries through the finish. In fact, the sweetness could use some taming. Taste of citrus, grapefruit, pine, caramel.

Draft at the brewery taproom during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours clear russet with a creamy head. Some bready malts in here with light pine, grains, orangey citrus. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly toasted bread to finish, moderate sweetness, some pine and ripe citrus. OK. Tasty but simple.

On tap @ French Broad. Pours a dark orange appearance with a dark golden appearance with a white head. Light citrus and spicy rye in the nose. High bitterness. Lots of rye and grainy notes. OK.

Sample at the Memorial Day Deck Beers tasting on 05/27/2013: Clear copper color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and grainy malt. Light to medium body with flavors of peppery hops and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a spiced rye hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Growler from Blind Murphy’s. Nice copper color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is mild rye, resin, herbs, and pine tar. Malty-sweet flavor, with a relatively mild bitterness through the finish. A metalic twang in the aftertaste. Light to medium body, a little acidic, crisp, and clean. Overall, this is a mild and drinkable rye IPA, but nothing special.
