beer_name: Wytchmaker Rye IPA
text: 750ml received in a trade with tjmodica, couldn't find any date on the bottle. A: Ridiculous head. Poured into an imperial pint glass, I got about 1/3 beer and 2/3 head, even pouring down the side. Lots of active bubbles. Once the head finally recedes, there's nice lacing remaining. S: Not a whole lot of hops aroma, mostly earthy and spicy with just a tiny bit of tropical fruit. T: Nice malty complexity from the rye: earthy, a little sweet. Not much of a hop note here either, other than a grassy mild bitterness. M: Slightly bitter, a bit astringent and mouth-coating. Not as much carbonation apparent in the mouthfeel as the head and bubble might have suggested. O: A decent beer, but didn't wow me. Kinda wondering about the age of this bottle as I'm not getting much of the notes I'd expect from the hops bill.
