Can. A- Rye, mild citrus, subtle pine. A- Copper brown color, cloudy liquid, off white head. T- Rye, bitter, citrus, pine, malty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- Had this sitting around for a while so at a solid year old, it probably wasn't in it's prime. All things considered, it was pretty good. Tons of malt and rye that pretty much overpower everything. Completed with a touch of pine and citrus bitterness. Liked it a lot better than I thought I might.

Mostly an alright American red, caramel malt underlined by toasted grain followed by an intense piney hop bitterness. The honey seems unnecessary, though, adding a outsized sweet back end, overshadowing the mild berry and citrus notes on the beer’s finish. Clingy IBUs help shore up the honey-lined fade, but I’d love to try this beer without the adjuncts. Decent red pour, giving up a mild head and moderate lace. Creamy texture works, but does nothing to prevent the pint growing cloy as it warms. Okay brew.

Nice and dry roasty stout, full of bitter unsweetened chocolate and a healthy amount of char. Slight dark fruit notes take hold in the middle, but the finish is a long, java-heavy fade brimming with dark malt and smoke. Pretty brown-black pour with a modest head and minor lacing. Aroma is roasted malt and chocolate. Good texture. Very nice pint.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a deep, clear brown with a soapy head that lingers. Plum, rye bread and piney hops dominate the nose. Very bitter on the palate, with some burnt caramel and more pine. Very dry and bitter finish. Not really my kind of rye ipa. --- Beer merged from original tick of Another Way to Rye on 18 Jul 2017 at 23:19 - Score: 5. Original review text: Pine, roasted caramel, rye bread and plum. Overly bitter, burnt caramel. Piney bitterness. Not for me.

Caramel and roast. Good balance like a unicycle rider. Black pour with good head and lacing. Bittersweet finish. Chocolate. Tap at Flying Saucer.

Can. Pours very dark brown with a sma mocha head. The aroma has cocoa, roast malts. The flavor is light bitter roast malts and a touch of chocolate. Creamy smooth body.

Tingly and lingering like a good rye IPA should be, but the sweet malt center might be a little too heavy for its own good. Gets thick in the middle, a tad syrupy with a deep caramel vein, until the piney hop finish rouses all the loafers. Not bad, but could use a little more vitriol.

Decent but nondescript. Flat, grainy malts followed by a resinous pinetree hop finish. Not overly bitter, though, and the texture’s off.

Draft. Red/amber pour with an off-white head. Subtle aroma, a bit of spicy hops and toasty malt. The flavor is crisp and hoppy with a bit of dryness in the finish. Good support comes from the malt without making it sweet. Surprisingly good for a style that is often boring and lackluster.
