Citrus and piney notes burst forth on top of an earthy and spicy rye flavor. As the ice melts away from your cans, meet life head on this spring with a Sprye in hand.

I tried a pint of this off the tapper at the brewery. It poured a clear golden with very white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had notes of bold citrus hop. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with common session bitter citrus presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Extra quarter point for terrific smell. Unfortunately, beer tastes like a session. Not picking up much rye.

Reviewed 3-28-15. Water goblet. Canned date 2-2-15.

Appearance: Pours a deep, clear gold with 1 finger off-white head, with little slow carbonation. Nice lacing. Retains a ring of white along edges.

Aroma: Whoa! Fruity - grapefruit, kiwi, sweet, citrus.

Taste: Dry, light arrival. Rye spice & hop bitterness on mid-palate. Light, clean finish with lingering rye spice (like rye bread). Not malty in the least.

Mouthfeel: Light, moderate carbonation, slightly astringent.

Overall: I really like this! Light, fresh & springy. The aroma is fantastic. This would be a great spring/summer regular. I'd still pick a pilsner over this 10/10 times, but this is good. The rye is less noticeable as it goes on. Overall, a light, dry, crisp, extremely pale ale. Very sessionable.

I can't drink enough of this beer. It is outrageously refreshing, and it tastes exactly how the can looks. I'm not even kidding. Stare closely at an ice-cold can, appreciate the palate of colors, and imagine how the beer might taste. Bam- you've got it. That is exactly how it tastes.

It's not as hoppy as the average IPA, but has an absolutely delicious earthy bitterness and is basically the taste of spring embodied. The rye definitely gives a very nice spicy character to it. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Also, I love seeing quality beer in cans. Cans are just so convenient and the contents taste just as good as bottles.
