On tap at Jackie O's. Served in a tulip.

Poured a nice looking copper color with some tiny bubbles and a moderate amount of head. A fair amount of lacing remained on the glass as I delve deeper into this beer. Smelled of citrus, Wheat and A summer day. Tasted very similar to the smell with some wheat and citrusy hop charctets really coming through. Sweet but not over the top with a good balance of malt.

Mouthfeel was refreshing and Medium to light with a bit of dryness on the finish. A great IPA indeed and I really enjoyed this one fresh.

I wasn't going to post my review of this until after the hauls landed for the Rules BIF but since others have been reviewing it I'll throw my hat in the ring

Pours a gorgeous golden orange with a nice touch of white head. A very pretty beer. Beautiful

Smells hoppy and sweet. The rye is strong on the nose and there is a touch of cat piss and pine. The rye is amazingly strong

Tastes sweet from the rye. Lots and lots of rye. There is a sharp bitterness from the hops. Pine and citrus are nice and strong. Very well balanced.

A nice thick mouthfeel. Very solid carbonation and very drinkable. One of the best Rye IPAs I've had.... not quite as good as Nelson but damn close :)

Stopped by and grabbed a growler. I planned on waiting but the dude said they tapped it just today, needed to have some hops!

A: wow. Pours a deep yellow almost orange with a nice fluffy white head.

S: on the pour, my hotel room started to smell like grapefruit. Wow. Never had a beer this strong in the nose.

T: very bitter but a nice malt backbone. Easy to sip and enjoy pn a warm day.

M: carbonation is good. Right where it needs to be

O: damn fine ipa from Jackie os. Hoping I gt to top by here again someday!

On tap at Jackie O's.

Pours a nice moderate copper color with a good white head and a nice bit of lacing as it goes down. The nose hits pretty hard with really nice hop notes. A bit dank with really nice citrus notes. Perhaps a bit of rind. The flavor is equally as pungent and filled with hops. Strong bitterness, though not overpowering. There's a bit of rye in there as well. The rest of the malt is kept to a minimum. Feel is nice--light to medium body with a dry finish. Hops and rye work well in tandem. Very nicely done.

This one pours a light bodied, very pale and faint gold in color with only a white lacing around the glass. The nose is light, bright, and clean. It features a nice and fresh, almost galaxy esque hop profile. It's somewhat dry and citrusy. The flavors are also very fresh and somewhat floral. It features a really nice hop profile. It's very light in body and far too drinkable. If this were in cans it would be a huge hit in the summer. The sessionability of this beer is through the roof. I'd say it drinks more like a hoppy pale than a true IPA but it's a really nice and easy drinking IPA nonetheless.

T- Powerful, bitter hops, leafy and a bit dank, some citrus and rye spiciness on top of light toasted malt.

M- Medium-bodied, smooth, crisp feel, dry finish.

O- A very nice IPA, the rye provides a nice complement to the citric hops, very enjoyable.

Appearance: Arrives with nice head sitting atop the amber liquid; lacing action was impressive

Taste: After the toast lays down the backbone, the tangerines dominate the front end through the finish, with a bit of spicy rye detectable in the back

Mouthfeel: Medium body with crisp carbonation

Overall: A very nice and refreshing IPA; goes great with the Jackie O's pizza

Thanks for sharing, Urbancaver. This was in a hand bottle/growler sort of thing.

From notes

NB: This was basically flat, but still quite good. Scores do not adjust for lack of carbonation. Intend to re-review on tap.

A - Golden amber body - beautiful color - no head.

S - Nice rye spice and hop profile, good malt balance.

T - Flat, but a nice hop profile with a great rye spice compliment.

M - Smooth as can be, flat, nice and full, thick body.

O (D) - This would be a great beer, but as is is just very good.

I had this on-tap during the anniversary celebration. Served in a tasting glass.

Appearance: The beer pours a clear amber color with a quarter finger of fluffy head that fades to a layer on top of the pour.

Smell: Grain with a strong spice note from the rye. Just a touch of fruity hops. Nice even if it's not very strong.

Taste: There is a very nice rye spice that backs up the citrus peel hop bitterness. The spice note remains through the whole sip with the bitterness building to the finish.

Mouthfeel: The body is medium with very fluffy carbonation and a dry finish.

Overall: I would have liked the overall flavor to be a bit stronger, but I enjoyed all the components. I'd have more if it was offered.

A- Pours a hazy golden orange color with a solid off white head. Head turns into a layer of bubbles and leaves some nice layered lacing.

S- Quite a bit of balance going on between the hops and malts. A bit of tropical fruit hops and a roasted malts.

T- Ahhhh there's the rye, more of a grassy hop, oranges coming through, spice and roasted malts.

M- Medium in both body and fairly light in carbonation.

0- Not me favorite by any means I liked the "spiced" verision much better.

On tap at Jackie O's public house, the night before the June release. Brad, himself, has told me this is his favorite IPA hes done. Since then I've been excited to try it. Especially after I missed it at Bodega.

Appearance
Lots of lacing, that I can't really tell where its origins are. There isn't much of a head, just a whispy collar. The beer is a minorly cloudy brass.

Aroma
Snappy caraway paired up with zesty orange. The malts have an even toastiness about them. The aroma is quite balanced, but as compaired to today's wild IPAs, somewhat malty.

Taste
A medicinal bitterness builds on the finish. The flavor is toasted rye, some grassiness and lemon-lime.

Mouthfeel
Slick with a semi dry, semi oily finish. Lower carbonation. Lingering bitterness.
