Another day in Columbus, another trip to Barley's. A new draft option.
Poured slightly cloudy, orange with golden yellow highlights. White head shrinks but never disappears, leaves good looking web of lace.
Lots of citrus aroma, grapefruit, orange peel, and some slightly spicy rye smell.
Tastes starts with all the IPA flavors you expect, citrus, orange, grapefruit. Finished dry, with a solid punch of rye grain.
Medium body with good carbonation and mouth feel. Nice dry and slightly crisp finish.
Really liked this one.

On tap in a pint glass at Alehouse No. 1 on 2/12/11

Cloudy tangerine with golden highlights. 1/4th inch head thins but leaves good lace regardless.

Solid citrus aroma. Tangerine, orange peel, maybe a spot of grapefruit. The pith and peel aromas are accented by a dry rye note. Sweet cracker offers a soft offset. Smells nice. Tastes similar to their Centennial IPA. Blend of citrus; mostly orange coming through. The rye is very well-suited, imparting a welcomed dryness throughout (especially on the finish). Medium body with a penchant for rolling fizziness. Utmost dry finish.

This is a really nice take on what I swear is their flagship IPA. This is a spot-hitter.

01/28/11- Had this one on-tap at Barley's Ale House 1.
A: Cloudy burnt-orange amber, with a nice one-finger white head with lacing.
S: Rye bread, honey orange, green and almost cannabis hops, very slight pineapple... good.
T: Light rye bread, dry orange, very nice musty earthy hops... there's a great balance here. This is an awesome RIPA.
M: Moderately thick with a good froth and a crisp finish.
D: Great.

This is a good RIPA. There is a very good integration of rye here. Again, Barley's catches me by surprise.

I had this on tap at the High street location and man was I delightfully surprised by this brew. Thanks to Goose Island, for the past nine months or so I have been under the impression that rye beers are not my cup of tea, or beer, or whatever... However, after trying this rye IPA I have an entirely different opinion towards the style. This beers appearance was awesome. It was cloudy and almost tumultuous looking with a nice fluffy off white head. The smell was even better. Upon burying my nose in this delectable brew I was able to distinguish some strong citrus, floral and grapefruit notes. It was like a beautiful bouquet. The taste was bitter and hoppy, as expected, and had a nice crisp finish. I would consider myself a hop head and would recommend this to any fan of IPAs and DIPAs.

From the firkin into a pint glass: no head, no carbonation, cloudy, brownish, watery. Looked like rainwater collected in a glass colored by some rusting nails. Ugly, ugly beer.

Now, that out of the way, I liked it a lot. Nice, floral and rye aroma - like a mild pumpernickel with some hops. Spicy rye flavor with balanced bitterness. Nice. Mouthfeel was kinda watery, like a weak iced tea. Still, pretty drinkable. Easy to imagine that this was the way beer used to be back in the day - the late Eighteenth century day that is.

All in all, worth my time and money. I'd really like to have one at cellar temp rather than room temp, with some carbonation added. Then this could be a really nice beer.

This was available on cask, so I went for it.
Slightly hazy, golden amber in color. Dense white head. Looks good.
Nose was strong hops and slight citrus. Somewhat one-noted, but not bad at all.
Taste was spicy, sticky hops. Lingering strong piney hops. Subtlety yet nicely contrasted against the nose. Slight tinges of sour grapefruit.
Solid mouthfeel, and good drinkability.
