Brewed with rye and crystal malts, then dry hopped with five different hops to give this brew strong hop character paired with spicy caramel tones.

This one falls in the bottom half of the many NEIPAs from this prolific local brewer for me. Just lacking and somewhat off flavors.
All the now-iconic Kettlehead characteristics are present - murky, juicy, low-bitterness, smooth mouthfeel, clean finish. Fairly enjoyable.

In a pint glass this beer was a hazy rust color. There was a one finger head that left a lot of lace.
Aroma of fruit and sweet malt.
Taste of orange, apricot, and caramel.
Medium-bodied with a little late spice.
Well done.

Poured on draft at the brewery into a snifter. Pours a hazy rusty red with a 2 finger head that leaves loads of webby lace behind.
Smell is apricot, caramel, tangerine, biscuit, pine resin, and grapefruit rind.
Taste follows apricot, tangerine, pine, caramel, biscuit, and a nice balanced hit of grapefruit in the finish balanced lively finish.
Mouthfeel is a little bigger than average, very soft carbonation, not dry at all, and excellent drinkability.
Overall this is a very nice Rye NEIPA brewed with 5 different hops. I could drink this all day.
