Mostly hazy, bright golden color, large helping of ivory head on top.

In the nose: Soft and citrusy with slight spice rising up. Quite nice.

In the mouth: Rye malt covers the palate, with citrusy hops flavors shining through. Spicy, bread malt flavors dominate, citrusy hop flavors coming in after. Medium bodied, low bitterness, easy drinking, fully flavored. I like this one, and would have it over and over again. Good rye IPA and you can drink it. Tasty stuff.

Picked up a single from the Craft Beer Hop Stop cooler 6-2-20 for $1.49. Canned on 4-20-20, consumed 8-14-20. Cold stored since purchase.

Beer poured orange with a nice soap bubble head that has some good hang time.

Nose is malty with a touch of citrus.

Taste is well balanced with the smaller malt base that is accented by a touch of rye pop that combines nicely with a subtle floral and light grapefruit hop addition. Finishes balanced; 5/10 on my bitterness scale.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and fairly refreshing.

Overall a nice twist with all the ingredients, something slightly different is a good thing once in awhile!

From a 12oz can:

Appearance: Slightly hazy gold, ok head.

Smell: Mostly citrus, maybe a hint of mint?

Taste: Citrusy, rye breadiness, moderate bitterness throughout.

Overall: From the hop pack, this is a pretty good IPA. A few hints of the rye come through but they are subtle instead of intense. Solid beer.
