Can smell bit of eye on a swirl, slight bitter in the back with a strong finish

Good fruity start and nice finish that is kind of spicy. By spicy I mean peppery. Pretty good beer.

Light, dissipating head. Cloudy light brown color. Light hoppy smell. Hoppy grain taste. Medium carbonation

Peppery rye IPA is a nice change of pace, but ends up average on the enjoyment scale. I found it balanced best at 50-60 degF rather than real cold.

Pretty nice IPA. Not terribly hoppy, but spicy & a little sweet initially. Good to sip poolside @ Ann's place in Ellenton, FL

Red-brown color, full head. Pleasant hop flavor without bitterness. Rye flavor balances and adds smoothness. Good winter/spring IPA. Not as bitter as west-coast style IPAs, and the rye adds a smooth spice flavor.

Combining the peppery spiciness of rye with the citrusy brightness of select hops, this full-bodied brew is one to enjoy. This IPA packs the bitter hoppy punch at the finish but substitutes the piney IPA bite with the peppery flavor of the rye.
