Bottled. Pours a medium colored amber w/a medium sized head. Aroma is very hoppy. The rye and malts sort of come on at first and then give way to the hops. Pretty well done.

Notes from 8/14/2008. Thanks to ballewblake for the care package. One of the few review notes that I remembered to save when I last reformatted in June. The bottle notch signals that I should of drank this already(May). Though I did drink one of these earlier, it was just too humid to review anything sitting down on that sticky pleather. A: Heavy on the suds, the mound falls flat in nearly an instant. A Nestea-colored body that's just a bit too murky to see through. S: Noticeable yeast & some ethanol blow-off, followed by a fruity & slightly sour mix of orange/banana & dusty bread crust. T/M: More tangy then sour. Sharply sweet edging on something fruity, but it hits quick & dies back. Good reliable grapefruit bitterness, constant feeling of dry grain, & a sturdy amount of carbonation keep you coming back for one more deep slurp. Only negative(for me) could be a tinge of metallic flavor in the aftertaste. Probably the result of not indulging at a constant pace. :P A strait up tasty beer. :)

From Jan 2008
I got this bottle as an extra in a trade with JDV. Thanks Deniz!
This ours from 12oz bottle..hehe..the foam started rising to the mouth of the bottle as soon as I popped the cap but fear not, there was no loss of any ounces. It has a clear gold look in my SA glass and a very good 2 finger head of foam with some lacing.
The smell is of rye and citrus hops and not something that I'm used to smelling so I'm pumped to taste this bad boy.
The taste is a mix of rye and some good citrus(grapefruit and another that adds just a touch of sour) and it's quite pleasing to my palate. Nice and dry finish to it and the mouthfeel is on the light side. It's pretty easy to drink as well. The more sips I take, the more I notice the sourness but it's not overdone. It just adds, for me, to the drinkability. I could easily see myself kicking back a few of these in a session.
Thanks gain, Deniz. This was an interesting drinking experience.

12 oz. bottle. Amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is citrus, spice and fruit. Taste is considerably more malty than the aroma. Spice, caramel, some citrus, light pine, and a nice biting finish from the rye. Decent.

Bottle from the local H.E.B. Copper color with some mild head retention. Aroma is a nice amount of fruit and mild hints of spicy rye.
Flavor is a very nice balance of rye malt and nice fruity and floral hops. The balance is really nice here. Seriously, very nice medium body with a mild level of carbonation that gives a smooth texture. And with the 5.6 % it just flys down the throat. Nicely crafted.

Bottle to glass. Pale gold with medium head. Spicy floral notes overcome the rye on my palate. And I am not picking up the hoppiness others noted . . . maybe my taste buds are overcome by the atmosphere (or lack of) in this pricey, hotel lobby bar.
