Poured into a tulip, copper, dark amber color. Fluffy cream head.
Taste is mildly to medium centennial, citrus hops notes. They use whole cone hops so on some sips it does have some bite but mostly mild. Bold and spicy rye flavor with a boost of hops and dry finish.
It's a perfect beer for the month of November, March, and April during a thunderstorm or bitter cold day, thus ruthless rye drink it when there's a storm.

One of my go to's. From the best and one of the first truly great craft breweries. Sierra Nevada never fails especially when it comes to getting the best hop flavor. This beer looks beautiful and tastes even better. If you were skeptical about this one, don't be. This is a truly wonderful IPA from a brewery that knows what they're doing.
