This West Coast-style pale ale is brewed with 80% English barley malts and 20% rye malt. It boasts a massive floral aroma of resinous hops, contributing notes of lemons, peaches and pine needles and is anchored by the sweet malty flavors of toffee and freshly baked pumpernickel bread.

use caution if you're opening from a can. this thing explodes like a grade school science experiment and you'll lose half the beer before getting a single sip for yourself. even after the initial mess, pouring one drop of this volatile beverage into a glass produces yet another metric ton of foam that cascades over the rim of any glass, no matter how tall.
overall, this has a pretty nice taste once it has finally been de-nuclearized. unfortunately, the mixture's unstable qualities left no carbonation in the glass once settled, so it felt flat.

Received this as part of a raffle prize at a fundraiser I went to over the summer. Poured into a pint glass it had a huge head, so much so I had to work hard to keep it from spilling over. Color was a hazy slightly reddish yellow. Smell was earthy with a bit of floral hops. Taste followed the nose. Although this isn't my favorite style it was a good representative of it and reasonably enjoyable.

Clear gold color. Medium to lingering covering white collar with lacing. Noticeable grapefruit hoppy aroma. Taste follows aroma.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with medium head and good lacing.
Smell is spice and a hint of coriander.
Taste is zesty rye, with some mild citrus and spice.
Sour and bitter

Sky High Rye pours a copper color, with a long lasting, lacing head. Nice dry aroma, lots of earthy and fresh hops. Flavor is bitter, lots of hops, finishes with a big dank flavor. Good body and flavor. Overall, its a very solid rye pale ale, strong flavors, good body.

Poured from bottle into tulip, massive 2 finger cream colored head, good retention and lacing. Hazy bright golden in the glass, has that NEIPA look going on. Smell is great, getting the lemon and peaches and just a really bright smell coming off this beer. There is some lingering pineapple in the background. Taste is really fruit forward on the front, getting orange, grapefruit, pineapple, peach on the front, and a spicy dry finish. ok this is really a solid beer. Part of my beer shipment, going to have to get the others in the fridge ASAP.
