Split with Pete27lax on 9/30/11. Served at fridge temp into a snifter.

The body was a hazy orange, almost a deep amber-copper color. Nice lacing with a descent carbonation.

Caramel malt upfront, with some toffee and light butter scotch. A faint orange, hoppy aroma.

Very malt foward beer, caramalized sugars with a little bit of honey. Descent hop character, some tropical fruityness on the finish.

Good bitterness for such a malt foward beer. Soft carbonation (low-medium). Very smooth finish with no alcohol at all. Slightly oily finish.

Very drinkable, a descent example of the style from a great brewery.

Excellent. Smooth, with a slight citrus presence. “Double the malt, double the hops, and double the flavor of the original Rye Pale Ale recipe. (Hence the name Rye Squared.) With its mammoth hop aroma, bitterness and flavor, this beer is not for the faint at heart. The Rye Squared clocks in at a hefty 8.5% ABV so double your pleasure and double your fun because Terrapin went a little crazy with this one!”

It's a shame they retired this, it was one of my favorites and the best rye I've ever had.
