La Cumbre normally brews it up right, how about Project Dank? Acquired in New Mexico along with a number of other, one-off beers, this 22 oz bomber is poured ice cold into a bar beer mug. It comes out an opaque, yellow-orange with a pure white top and healthy carbonation. The nose is grapefruit and cut hay. The payoff taste, yes, pretty much a hop bomb. Pine, heavy citrus, thick pine resin. It recalls Hop Stoopid, very much a compliment.

So with La Cumbre you usually get a fine brew and a very interesting label. My 16 oz can of Red Ryeot is no exception. Bought at Trader Joe's in Santa Fe in a four pack and carried home. It needs delivery in a glass to appreciate. Into my .47 liter New Belgium tasting glass it goes. A dark red-amber body shows up with a heroic light tan head that appears to lace nicely. The scent is definitely hoppy. A drink brings pine needles, hay, citrus and something grainy, must be the rye. Not exciting at first but it gets better as it goes. A very nice, lingering bitterness at the end. Maybe not the equal of Elevated but still well worth it.
