Killer beer. Reminds me of a cross between Sierra nevada celebration and arrogsnt bastard ale. Classic tasting bitterness with a very prominent fall/earthy/spice note you get from celebration. Dare I say this is better than SN celebration? I believe it is.

This must be a recent iteration of this brew because it appears starkly different than the other reviews I see here. Pours a clear straw gold with two fingers of white head that leaves a solid collar and substantial lacing.
Certainly not the most rye-ish rye ipa I've had, but pretty darn good nonetheless. Bright and somewhat tropical with ample bitterness and just a light biscuity malt presence. Rye spice is there but hard to find. Body is just a little on the light side. Overall, not sure how much rye there is in the malt bill, but I wouldn't hesitate to order this any time it's on the menu.

Very dark amber. Not much of a nose at all, a little rye hint. Tastes malty and somewhat sweet, rye presence. Heavy body; pretty dense beer. Overall not anything offputting. And nothing onputting either. Thats the problem.

Typical of the style. Easy drinking but cold have used a bit more hoppy bite.

This brew pours a dark brown/red, which is partially clear. There is a nice two finger tan head and fairly thick lacing which stays on the glass until the end. Remnants of the head also stay on top of the brew until the end.
The smell is malty and piney. There is also the peppery rye smell. There are bready and caramel malt smells as well.
The taste starts with roasted malts moving to a bready, peppery rye taste, caramel then piney hops on the backend. There is a dry bitter aftertaste.
The mouthfeel is thick bready and chewy.
Overall this a decent rye beer. It is not quite as hoppy as a rye IPA but that might be good for some people who don't like an overload of hops but to tell the truth the rye is not all that strong in this brew either. If you want to try a rye beer that is not too bitter then try this one. If you want a rye IPA there are better ones out there such as Ruthless Rye from Sierra Nevada.
