A warped version of Albino Squid Assassin, this super exclusive small batch beer sees us amp up the rye character to the max.
This red rye IPA has spent six months sequestered in rye whiskey barrels, drawing incredible toasty, spicy and oaky flavours from the wood.
The hops have softened and morphed from pithy citrus to ripe autumn fruit, while the malt base has picked up cinder toffee and cinnamon. An incredibly deep and complex IPA.

Sampled from bottle at the Oedipus International Beer Festival 2016. Clear, brownish amber with an off-white head. Sweetish-malty aroma of caramel, honey and some vanilla. Sweetish-malty taste of caramel, honey and vanilla, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, a little warming-alcoholic finish. Medium to full body, oily mouthfeel, flat. Nice!

Draft at Oedipus fest. Dark red pour. Aroma of red vinous fruit, spices and malt. Taste of spicey red malt, red fruit, vanilla, cream and a long rich finish. Hard to pin this down, good beer.
