From a tall boy...not sure if it is a typo, but my can says 7.2 abv, but it looks exactly like their website version of the 6.0, and that abv seems about right. I’m surprised to discover this is a rye ipa...wouldn’t have guessed it

Poured from a 16oz can...nice amber color with 1/2 inch of head that dissipated quickly...wonderfully aromatic that unfortunately gives false hope...short burst of citrus flavor up front, but with a disappointingly dry super-bitter finish...definitely a let down

Mildly cloudy golden yellow body; excellent carbonation; thick and foamy head. Excellent floral notes in the smell; tropical fruit; pineapple and papaya; pine resin. Beautiful citrus and yellow stone fruit flavors backed with a fine hop bitterness; lemon and orange; zesty, phenolic hop bitterness. Medium body; crisp with a pseudo-juiciness; has a fairly dry quality midway through and lasting through the finish.
I didn't really pick up any distinctive rye flavors or spiciness with this one. The beer is pretty solid overall, though, with a crisp and bracing usage of the hops.

16oz can dated 3/2/18 poured into a pint glass
A: Hazy orange with a 1+ finger head that slowly settles
S: Bold with rye, grapefruit, orange pith and a bit of grass/herbs/earth
T: The earth/herbs come through up front here, with rye on the midpalate then some citrus & a bit of tropical fruit towards the end
M: Medium-bodied, just a touch bitter/sour
O: I enjoy the way the bite of the rye plays off the hops. An enjoyable beer

Pours into a mug a dull as another has notes a kind of golden straw with a thinner head atop,some swirling chunkies and floaties in there.Love the aromas of tropical mango,Maui onion,and sharp rye,about as good as it gets for the style in my opinion.Kind of a mellow low carbonated feel in the mouth.A mix of mango with a mild tartness mixed with spicy rye leading into an herbal/grassy-like finish.Not overly fruity on the palate,just a good mix of everything coming together.I really enjoyed this beer,very quaffable.

Orange, mostly clear. Quickly fading head that leaves no lacing. Smells spicy and fruity. Rye and oranges. Tastes like it smells with lots of citrus and rye. Very tasty.
