Appearance - this beer pours a deep hazy amber with brown tones depending on light, it pours a foamy 2 finger off white head that thins to a film.
Aroma -Caramel, fresh bread,cereal malts, floral hops .
Taste - Bitterness hits first and sits throughout but it definitely is not overwhelming,floral flavors in the background, fresh bread rye sourness, Caramel and some cereal malts.
Mouth feel - This feels very light bodied to me but creamy and smooth all at the same time. The feel is something special here.
Overall - I like this beer quite abit, It is rather complex and trying to figure it out is a really fun experience.

A bit too "hoppy" for my taste...bitter. Not bad if you like that sort of thing, but not my cup of tea.

This is a delicious pale ale, very much like an IPA but with a darker character, hazy amber color, sweeter malty taste, excellent hop taste and aroma but not as predominant as with a classic IPA

A: Amber color but very hazy. Bits of yeast are visibly suspended within the beer. A finger of off slightly beige head.
S: A bit of what I would assume to be some kind of English hop but the bulk of the smell is malt. There's a definitive breadyness. Moderately strong cereal notes and you can detect the rye character as well.
T: A firm bitter backbone but not too much. Caramel malts come through more than what I was expecting. I also get a fair degree of the pepper from the rye. Some hops come through as well. I'm getting earthy, slightly citrusy, and maybe a bit spicey although that flavor could be melded with the rye notes.
M: Very slick and I was suprised instantly by how thin but yet creamy it was. Oily might not exactly be the right term as its not to that level of intensity but it is at least somewhat oily.
O: It was okay although the cloudiness and heavy sedimentary residue was somewhat displeasing. I could probably manage to brew something like this and it's not really worth the money IMO. Although it was useful in gaining some footing in my rye beer experience.
