Bottle poured into nonic pint glass.

A Clear, orangey, light amber color. Two finger, thick frothy white head. Good retention, nice lace on the glass.

T: Sweet bready malts. Definitely get the Harpoon house yeast. Modest hop bitterness, citrus, grapefruit and some herbal notes. Spicy rye bread, nice dry finish. Leaves a nice herbal, tangy bitterness.

M: Medium bodied, very smooth, carbonation is about right, very nice drinkability.

O: Nice beer here, nice mix of a solid ipa and a malty rye. Worth a try.

Hazy copper color with a huge head that fell pretty slowly and left good lacing. I don’t know what I expected in the "rye" part but the IPA part is solid. Nose is pretty good with plenty of malt character to lead you in, a touch of caramel and a solid rye. Taste is rye and spicy/sour with a little citrus, pine and grass. It’s a medium body malt and is well carbonated. It’s crisp and it’s not what you expect from hop flavor because it’s not hop flavor. It’s rye. Get it? It’s wry! It has a palate of it’s own and would be great with sandwiches. This was originally from the 100 barrel series but I had it from a 6 pack.

Poured into becker pint glass. Slightly cloudy copper with a medium-thick white head that fades fast into a nice layer of foam that leaves nice lacing on the glass. Smells of spicy malts and some hops. Taste is just like you'd expect; spicy rye malt and bitter hops in taste and both through to the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is clean and a bit dry.
