16oz glass at the Town Square brewpub in deep southside Edmonton - a collaboration using rye malt (duh) and Vic Secret hops, hence the 'Rye Aussie IPA' sub-nomenclature on the chalkboard.

This beer appears a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent pockmarked limestone wall lace around the glass as things quickly progress.

It smells of dank pine resin, gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, rye crackers, and some plain earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is biscuity and bready pale malt, a further rye graininess, some slightly phenolic yeast, mixed pome and citrus fruity notes, and more leafy, weedy, and herbal verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite tame in its banal frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of yeast astringency taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes trending dry, the rye starting to really evoke a sense of its whisky incarnation, sans the booze, natch.

Overall - this comes across as an exact blend of a rye brew and a middle of the road IPA. Acrid from a few different vectors, but still quaffable on its own terms. Goes quite well with the gratis dill-spiced barley so readily provided at this always amicable establishment.
