Had on tap. Pours slightly murky, gold in color with one half inch head. Taste is big rye, wet hops, and eathy hops. Medium body, moderate carbonation, bitter. So clean and delicious. The rye jumps. Worth seeking out.

16 ounce aluminum bottle, no dating I could find on it. This batch says it's 6.7% ABV. Served in a Spiegelau IPA glass, the beer pours a slightly hazy dark gold color with about an inch and a half off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both very good. The brew smells like citrusy (citrus peel) and grassy hops, bready malt and spicy rye. Taste is pretty much just like the aroma, but there's also some caramel malt noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit slick with a good amount of soft carbonation. It's also easy enough to drink. I liked this brew, definitely worth a try if you like rye IPA's. $5 for a single bottle.

Many thanks to Danny for grabbing this on a family visit to WV. Cheers!
The brew itself is a lightly hazed medium-dark orange color, almost brassy with its brightness. Lots of carbonation holds up a foamy and frothy pale orange-tinted head very well. Falling very slowly, it keeps up half a finger or so of dense and chunky head for the remainder.
Rye comes out very nicely as its spice and earth mingle with citrus, and it oddly doesn't clasp with a fruity sweetness that seems to be a combination of alcohol and yeast. It's like smelling honey-drizzled fruits rolled around in rye dough, and more appetizing than "rye fruitcake" would sound. It seems like a good comparison, though.
It's both a bit sweeter and a bit hoppier, danker and more raw in the flavor. I like it, though, and it works together. Eventually everything blends into a more harmonious and singular flavor. It's a hoppy rye, and it works.
All that earth, dankness and yeast brings no undue harshness to the feel, and it flows smoothly as well as biting crisply. Well done.
