3.14/5 rDev -5.4%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
12oz bottle, pours crystal clear copper with a fluffy, off-white head that holds great retention and leaves excellent lacing down the glass. Spicy nose with caramel, toasted malt, and somewhat metallic. Tastes are metallic at first, then spicy, peppery rye, toasted grain, earthy hops, finishes dry while the spice lingers with some aspirin. Thinner body, astringency takes away from smoothness. Overall, not a real smooth ride, but decent. Very rough around the edges and kind of acidic at times. There are much better rye beers out there.

3.76/5 rDev +13.3%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance 3.25: Attractive coppery gold color. Completely translucent. Smallish 1/4" head.
Smell 3.50: Good bouquet. Malty, grainy, with a nice warming sensation.
Taste 4.0: Front is slightly sweet with a very brief hint of hops. Middle is thick and malty. Semi-sweet with a slightly dry and spicy twang. Finish also has that pleasant spiciness and showcases a tasty, hoppy, alkaline hint along with very brief flashes of malt and caramel. Aftertaste is short, dry and refreshing.
Mouthfeel 3.75: A bit too bubbly. Less bubbles would have made it feel more like an ale, but this level makes it sort of strange, an in-between kind of beer sensation.
Overall 3.75: Probably the best rye beer I have tasted. It is not perfect by any means, but is good at what it attempts to do: create a refreshing, "seasonal" (the box said that, not me) brew. Sessionable and probably great with food, there is no hint of its 6.3% ABV. A sleeper, a surprise and worth purchasing if you see it.

3.79/5 rDev +14.2%
look: 5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
A: Dark but crystal clear red with a white fluffy head that sticks all the way down.
S: Not much to speak of, malty and slight hops. Very feint peppery rye scent.
T: Strong caramel malt back end with a feint piney hop bite. The rye character is here, but I'd really like more of it, this tastes a tad watery.
M: Medium to light bodied, but with a nice carbonated character. Fairly watery for my tastes.
O: Not bad at all, a good session ale. I wouldn't buy it again but would gladly drink many more!

3.17/5 rDev -4.5%
look: 3 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.25
12oz bottle from a Beervana Brewers Case.
A: somewhat agressive pour got a finger width head that fell to a thin cap with a thick ring around the glass. Super clear amber color. Pretty much what I expected, about the color of a rye whiskie.
S: pretty hop foreward nose. American hop varities I am getting herbal citrusy notes. Cascades I think, can't find the rye in there. The hops dominate but aren't overpowering. A little sweetness in there.
T: simmilar to the nose. lots of grassy slightly citrusy hops. Tasteing orange rind. Can't really identify the rye as rye. The hops are a little heavy handed but not bad. Finishes a little bitter, the hops linger for a while on the tongue and throat.
M: a good smooth medium body with enough carbonation to keep it interesting.
O: not bad, refreshing, a little hoppy but I can deal. Almost a rye.P.A. I have 2 bottles left they will go quick.

3.34/5 rDev +0.6%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.25
Picked this up for $0.99 as a single at a local liquor store. Figured I'd give it a try since I am a fan of Rye beers.
Poured 12 oz bottled into tulip glass with a nice inch and a half head that took it's time to settle and left some nice lacing on the glass. Color is a deep orangish / red.
Aroma is quite pleasant - getting caramel/biscuity and some citrus
Taste - a bit of a bitter hop flavor balanced out with some rye / malt. The after taste is somewhat unpleasant.
Mouthfeel - Medium Carbonation and body
Overall - Decent beer, nothing to write home about but at least trying for a dollar. Wouldn't pick up a sixer of this though
