beer_name: Wytchmaker Rye IPA
text: RE-REVIEW (original bottle was *INFECTED*) Pours an insane mountainous head, off white with a blanket of thick dense bubbles. A light brownish body with orange hues throughout. Lacing all over the glass. A very strong floral aroma. Pine needles dipped in sweet cream. Light peppery yeast scents. The hops impart mild aromas, but are not very strong or pronounced they blend in. Very bready with a dose of rye/caraway seed oil. The malty flavors come thru with a significant amount of pepper and clove from the yeast and rye. The hops are adding more of a drying and bitterness to the beer than any pine or citrus, but floral flavors do come through. The rye sits on the tounge upfront, not heavy though. Also the alcohol comes through way more than expected for a 6.7% brew. This beer is quite an intersting take on an IPA. For me a bit more hop aroma/flavor would put this beer into the 'A' category. The hops play a nice part in this beer as well as the malts. The yeast imparts some great qualities in this beer as well. Carbonation feels almost right maybe a touch high. Glad I got to try this one. This is a very interesting take on an IPA and tastes like no other IPA I've had. I can tell a lot of 'craft' went into this beer. A touch more pine and/or mild citrus from the hops would push this beer into an outstanding category. [89/100]
