Hop Rod Rye
A: A dark amber/brown color. This has a huge creamy, foamy beige head. Spotty patches of thick lace. This does not look like any American IPA I have ever seen. S: A nice fruity hop aroma. Some spices come through, from the rye I expect. Not a lot of malt content in the nose that I can detect, but the hop aroma is great. T: Lots of hops for the hop head in you. I am usually not a fan of bitter beers, but this is great. Just the right amount of bitterness and the spicy rye flavor is wonderful. M/D: Crisp and well carbonated in the mouth. Easy and smooth to drink, but about half way through the bottle I really felt the alcohol though. I am a malt head, but this is a great well balanced hoppy beer. Recommended.
