Outstretched Hands Whisper Ancient Lore's Refrain,
A Cryptic Icon Pain's Mistress Ordained
First brewed late last summer, this brew was ranked the top Rye IPA in Virginia by our fans on Untappd - So as a thank you, we re-addressed the brew with some minor enhancements. Pours a deep amber color, the spicy aromas from the rye malt and Chinook hops entice you in with a sweet bready malt undertone.

Can dated 5/29/24 into pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy dark honey color with a creamy and persistent off-white head. Initial impression is rye, pepper and malt. Nicely balanced - none are dominant. Mouthfeel has some heft to it, but it's actually rather clean. Finish fades to a lingering spiciness. Overall, a quite enjoyable rye IPA from one of my favorite breweries.

Poured from a 16oz can into pint glass in August 2023. There was a canned date of 08/07/2023 on the bottom of the can, with the label "Maiden of Pain". I drank about 1 week after purchase.
Appearance: Dark amber/gold color with 2-finger white head. It is deep with a clear complexion. The head is very thick, and it lasts a minute, leaving a small covering. There is a little amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell: Strong aroma of pineapple and spice, as well as some hops and pine. The aroma was moderately strong as soon as the can was opened. The pine and citrus aromas are more prominent than the other aromas.
Taste: Nice balanced taste between the malt, pineapple, and hops that is not overpowering. The sweetness and bitter edge are well-balanced. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate amount of time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied. Also, moderate average alcohol, which matches the 7.5% listed on the can.
This is a good Rye IPA. It has a nice mix of citrus, hops, spice, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. The overall balance is good. Another great IPA from Adroit Theory. Adroit Theory continues to produce my favorite IPAs, along with Tired Hands and Tree House. I would buy this again.
