Rye'd Open Spaces
Dark Sky Brewing Co.

 

Pours a cloudy golden orange with two fingers of foamy head that slowly settles to a thick cap with plenty of lacing. Aroma of rye and citrus. Taste follows nose.

Pours a bright orange gold with a medium wispy head. Smells herbal, citrus, with some heat. Ze taste is rye, and it’s pretty prominent but not overdone, cotrus, grapefruit, herbal, and it has a pretty sharp hop punch and bitterness. It’s a little dry for a New Englander but so is AZ and it’s a decent effort for a rye double ipa that’s easy enough to drink at 8.2 oz, cheers!

L: Pours a hazy lemon juice yellow with a medium foamy head that dissipates rather quickly and leaves lacing all around the glass.

S: Lots of sugary sweetness, tropical fruit including mango, orange, pineapple, a hint of popcorn and some light rye but the sweetness kinda overwhelms the rye.

T: Grapefruit rind, lemon rind, lots of sweet sugary tropical fruit including orange, pineapple. Medium bitterness, don't honestly get a ton of rye.

F: Smooth creamy mouthfeel and medium body.

O: I feel like the sweetness of this beer overshadows the rye a bit except when the beer gets very warm but then the two sides don't mesh well.
