Had some high hopes for this one. Just sounded really good as a rye IPA brewed with peppercorn. Was hoping for a spicy rye IPA and something good enough to take home a crowler of.
Poured a yellow, golden, clear color with 2-to-3 fingers of frothy white head. Light bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. Good looking spiderweb foamy lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.25)
Smelled spicy rye, Citra, floral hops, lemon zest and lime with a resin backbone. (Smell - 3.75)
Tasted spicy rye, peppery spices, Citra, New Zealand- or Galaxy-like, lime, lemon zest, resin hops and floral hops. (Taste - 3.50)
Medium-to-light body. Creamy-to-oily texture. Lively carbonation. Abrupt, dry finish. (Feel - 3.75)
Might have slightly overrated this overall. It was not great, but it was decent. (Overall – 3.75)
