Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 3/7/14
Aroma: The aroma is rye bread, some grassy hops, pepper, and a little citrus
Appearance: It pours a clear copper-orange color with a small off-white head and light lace
Flavor: The flavor is balanced and clean, some light sweetness, rye/spice, and a light-mid bitterness
Palate: The body is light, but not watery, clean and easy drinking, with an average carbonation
Overall Impression: This is a really nice rye session IPA. You'd be hard pressed to find a more flavorful beer under 4%. I can't think of many (if any) off the top of my head.

Growler from Daknole, consumed fresh. Pours clear orange with a medium white head, creamy and nice lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, passionfruit, mango, dank with notes of cat piss. How I like it :). Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, a touch of grain perhaps. Not harsh, but a bit of a lingering bitter finish. Medium body. Nice effort; would have been exceptional as recently as a couple of years ago.

Growler pours with a clear copper body that has thin gold edges and supports a weak tan head of bubbles. The aroma offers up a load of hops that have an earthy green bell pepper and spicy shallot hoppiness along with a mild spicy oak note. Behind those I get a light estery malt sweetened yeast note as well as a touch of roasted malts. The taste begins with earthy spicy shallot to green bell pepper and it then ramps up in hop bitterness to midway just as a spicy oak note surfaces. To the finish an estery yeasty note and a touch of roasted malts are noticed as the earthy shallot onion like spicy hop bitterness builds right into the after taste. Cool brew with lots going on for such a small beer.

32oz growler thanks to Daknole! Pours cloudy pale yellow with a small fizzy soda-like white head that dissipates quickly and noisily, leaving essentially no lacing. Aroma is tart lemons, wheat, a bit of funkiness, fruit, lemon zest. Flavor is medium tart, bone dry finish, grapefruits, fruity in general with just a bit of funk. Fizzy again soda like carbonation, light mouthfeel. This really drinks like a tart, slightly funky soda, which is distracting from an otherwise tasty Berliner.

Growler pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malt sweetness mixed with inviting citrus and tropical fruity notes. The taste delivers firm Pale Ale sweet maltiness that has a thin edge of slightly roasted malts. It then runs into juicy citrus hops and tropical fruity flavors. Just as you start to understand and enjoy the fruity hoppiness the resiny hop bitterness comes to the surface to add just the right amount of balance. Wow, loads of crisp fresh juicy flavor here where a dash of more malts edged with graininess helps take this hoppy treat to the finish.

Poured up from a growler where a vigorous pour created a thirty second dirty tan head of foam. The beer’s body has a papery opaque gold color. The modest aroma offers up grainy malts, a light degree of sour mash and then cold wet grapefruit pieces. The taste begins with a tart bite that quickly takes in grapefruit juice tartness and a whole range of other various modest tart notes. Underneath that I get a pleasing yet light grainy maltiness that is also sort of doughy and sour mash like. Overall this seems a bit grapefruit forward as the fruity tartness and grapefruit flavor tend to dominate. Deep into the after taste the grapefruit is broken up by a cracker like graininess.
