Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of GT2. Pours a hazy amber with a dense and creamy off-white head. Very candy-like American aroma, caramellish. Rich body, loads of caramel and grain with a very bitter finish. An odd one but quite enjoyable. 270612

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel Florentine. Thanks David Cohen. Clear amber color. Resinous hops aroma, slightly stale, with some malt. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of caramel, grainy hints, light fruitiness and a moderately bitter finish with some hops. Medium-bodied.

Draft with burger and fries; this is a nice rye pale ale; character seemed to get smoother as I drank it.

Amber with a medium head. Light floral hop aroma with slight rye. Toasty on the palate, with a little bit of rye chewiness.

Copper color as label advertised, but not very vibrant, almost dull in the glass, modest but lasting head and heavy lacing. Nose is highly citric grapefruit hops, flavor similar. With a very dry base, the spicy citric hops dominate the flavors. Not sure if I really like it. The rye lightens the body and dries out the finish almost too much, the hops have a little too much bite, we’re losing balance here. Gimme a slightly mellower hop, and I’d be more into it.

Bomber from Oak Tree. Pours a nice copper color with a decent foamy beige head. Aroma is floral, and there seems to be a spicy rye hint. Med body. Wow. It is fruity. There’s some floral, but it’s almost like mango or some tropical fruit. And the roughish rye complements the fruit nicely. I’d say it ends slightly more bitter than not, and the malt bitter (weird that) helps. Different but good.

Bottle. Pours clear amber. White head. Nose of rye, light pine and caramel malt. Taste is pretty much the same, though the rye dominates a mostly watery palate.

Clean amber color; medium sized head. Good hoppy, perfumy aroma, a bit earthy. Smooth mouthfeel, dry toffee flavor, a bit of vegetables traces, strong bitterness and powerful hopping, resiny; but somehow unemotional.

On tap, pours deep gold with a medium white head. Strong rye and pale malt aroma. Flavor is nice with nutty rye malt, heavy pine hops dry finish. Like a hopped up rye ale.
