  • Pours with slight chill haze accompanied by a huge helping of white, tightly packed foam. Retention is outstanding, frothing up a bit as she goes. Lacing begins quickly, clinging to the glass in rows of stickiness.

    Aroma is hop forward: citrus. A sweetness compliments the hops, possibly over compensating for the hops. Rye is slight.

    Taste is of lighter end of caramel malts. The middle to end builds a nice orange hops flavor. Rye is there in the finish as well but only slightly.

    Light body with a stiff carbonation. Dries the palate nicely.

    Could use a little bit more body for my liking. The rye just doesn't come through as I would have liked. Minimal bitterness. Definitely a summer IPA. The lightness with the dry finish is refreshing. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
  • A flame throwin’ Rye IPA ignited by a 25% shot of rye malt and capped by a booty hoppin’ blast of Mt Hood and Centennial hops that makes this IPA bounce!
