650ml bottle - a light (bodied) rye-specked ale, with a shit-ton of hops thrown at it. All righty, then!
This beer pours a glassy, pale golden yellow colour, with three fat-cat fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy off-white head, which leaves a bit of random isthmus lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of musty green forest floor detritus (pine needles, florals, and some sap resin), bready and doughy caramel malt, a weak spicy rye graininess, some muddled tropical fruity notes, a more domestic citrus fleshiness, and further earthy, weedy, and musky hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and bready caramel malt, a lessening rye astringency, still hard to get a handle on tropicals (maybe some overripe pineapple and kiwi, from personal experience), fading orange and white grapefruit citrus, and a steady stream of leafy, grassy, and piney acerbic hop bitterness.
The carbonation is adequate in its capably-rendered frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and more smooth than I might have been expecting, with a suggestion of a minor creaminess seeping in as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt now a bit more evident, while the green, citrusy, and exotic fruity hops swarm about, looking for a place to happen.
Overall, this is one aggressive, and yet at the same time, easy to enjoy Rye IPA. It's more the hops than any grainy assertiveness that I'm referring to, and boy, do they bring their A-game. I gotta say, I'm impressed, as I very much like this one. Please sir, can I have some more?
