Served on draft in an imperial pint at the Laurelwood NW Public House, it is listed on the chalkboard as 100 IBU. Poured a hazy amber bronze, with a small off-white head that left moderately decorative lace.
The aroma was citrus hops, namely grapefruit with a touch of grape, pretty good.
The taste is totally dominated by the hops, making it difficult to distinguish the rye. Heavy on the grapefruit hops (amarillo?) with a strong bitter finish and a fusel alcohol kick.
The mouthfeel is only slightly creamy, with a medium body. It was served too cold, and the 20 oz pint didn't warm much by the time I got through it, even at a modest pace.
This was not very drinkable, and overall was pretty rough. The hops quickly obliterated my palate, and it was just not that tasty. One was more then enough.
