Style | ABV
Rye Beer |  6.90% ABV

Availability: Year-round. bottle (132), on-tap (20), nitro-bottle (1), growler (1)

Notes:
This beer is brewed with our proprietary yeast – the same yeast we’ve used since first brewing Harpoon Ale – and some interesting hop varieties. The combination of Pale, Rye, Caramel 60, Flaked Rye, and Vienna yield a complex malt body that stands up to the spiciness of the rye and the pronounced hop flavor. The rye also adds a reddish hue to the beer. The kettle additions of Centennial, Apollo, and Chinook, and the dry hop addition of Falconer’s Flight add a multidimensional hop character.

Appearance is reddish amber with a small tan head sitting on top. The head is loose structured and fades quickly to a simple ring.
Pleasently aromatic with fresh hops sweet malts and hints of spicy rye.
Drinks and taste assertive with spicy malts sweet malts. hop flavor is quite light and only noticeable from it's bittering balance.
A good beer but wish it had a bigger hop profile.

3.95/5  rDev +3.7%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

A- Slightly hazy copper in color with a big egg shell head that fades slowly leaving impressive lace.

S- Big nose of American hops, lots of pine and fruit, with some spicy and sweet breadiness.

T- Smooth and light up front, with a strange pit fruit character that is quickly whisked away by a refreshingly bitter and fairly smooth bitterness.

M- Thin and dry with medium low carbonation, this one goes down pretty easily.

O- An enjoyable IPA thought I don't get a huge amount of rye, just enough to poke around the hops. This beer could also use a little more hop flavor up front rather than just the finishing bitterness.
