Aroma is rye/spices, slightly nutty malts and mild/medium sweetness. The flavor is rye, malts, citrus/grapefruit, very slight vegetables, hops and a mix of spices, slight sourness and creeping alcohol in the finish.

Pours an amber orange color with a 1 finger white head. Clear with some good lacing.
The aroma is slightly hoppy, and slightly spicy. Has an almost sour finish.
The taste is sweeter than expected, with some citrus and dark fruits. The spicy rye is present but very subtle. Some lingering hop bitterness.
The feel is full bodied and extremely dry and sticky.
Overall, a fine beer from a brewery I haven't enjoyed much in the past. I wish the rye was more pronounced but it's there and provides a subtle spicy character that compliments the sweetness.

Poured from a bomber into a snifter. A beautiful beer with a thick rich head great lacing and a deep pinkish orange color. A floral - herbal smell that accents the taste. Spicy rye and a bit of hoppy bitterness. I will buy more!
