they sure packed a lot of flavor into this one for such a low abv. there is a lot of rye malt on it, familiar dry and spicy pale rye malt, but still, i like it being robust in aroma and flavor, i just wish there were more hops and back it up here, it starts off like its going to be this crazy bold session pale, but it kind of fizzles out as it moves along, at least to me. the best features are the strong rye flavors, bready and distinct in the grain base, and the high level carbonation that keeps this moving along and nice and refreshing. the hops sag a little for me, leafy and bitter but without as much flavor or oily textural contribution as i think the malt bill demands. it never quite finishes as a result, which i kind of need in my all day beers. it is cool that its so low in alcohol though, and nice to have so much of the rye flavor loaded into it, its also light without being watery, the rye seems to give it a body boost. maybe a bigger dry hopping and just a little longer in the fermented would complete this one, but its still pretty good as they go, and if you are still unsure what rye malt tastes like in a pale type beer, this is a fine example of it. pretty enjoyable brew from these guys, but i didnt like it quite as much as their brown ale. ill look forward to more of their stuff down the road...

very very good
Ridiculously good for the abv
Bubbly and effluvient
Crushable in the best way
Flavorful with hop and rye multilayered so iciness
Slim malt backbone

Rye, Fruity, Floral, Spicy
Pours a slightly hazed orange with a thick, fluffy head. There’s lots of rye grain in the nose along with fruity and floral hops. Crisp, creamy and medium-bodied, this beer offers more fruitiness on the palate with a lemony bitterness, bready malts and a distinct rye spiciness that lingers into the dry, crackery finish. Rodeo's balance of flavors and low ABV make this Pale Ale very drinkable.

Pours a medium golden amber with a white two finger head that dissipates very slowly, leaving lots of lacing. Aroma of sweet biscuit malt, light grain, mild citrus and piney hops, pleasant. Flavor is biscuit malt, mild rye bread, grassy and piney hops with a light rye tartness to the grassy hop finish with good residual biscuit flavors. Medium bodied with surprising light creaminess for the ABV. A very nice malty pale ale, with a profile that resembles a British ale, but hoppier and with a distinct rye bite. Nice rye bread character and appropriate deft touch of rye to give a hint of sourness, but not out of balance with the other flavors. This tastes very nice, and is actually quite flavorful and well balanced for a 4% ale, well done.

Good rye. Light, a bit thin. Nice color, great head with ample lace. Rye flavor out front, offset by appropriate sweetness, very refreshing

From the 12oz can to my FW Imperial Nonic glass
Notes taken on 05/25/2015
Thanks to my bro for bringing this back from a recent Boise trip.
A: The Rodeo Rye Pale Ale pours a bright caramel orange body with a considerable amount of chill haze to it. Looks a bit cloudy with some light debris to it. A solid billow of pure ivory white froth lays over top and holds for a few lengthy minutes before sliding back down into the glass. Lots of sticky streamers decorate the glass walls.
S: Spiced rye bread and pale malt sweetness meets herbal and spice hops. There is something lightly tropical to this as well, faint as it may be. Nice rye malt presence here with a combo of caramel malt and breadiness to it.
T: The rye is reaffirmed here and nicely forward with a spiced bread likeness. Sweetened with a touch of caramel malt but not overly so. Pretty smooth overall with a nice balance. Hops are a little tamed and more of an herbal spice combination with a soft touch of tropical fruits and some fleeting citrus notes. Not bad at all and with the alcohol well masked it makes for a nice little session.
M: Light to moderate feel on the palate with some ample carbonation pop to it. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness with a nice drying finish and slightly resinous linger.
D: A nice little Pale with some good Rye character to it. Could use a bit more hop punch for me but this was an enjoyable session.

No way you would suspect there was rye in this. A nice amber ale appearance, and characteristics of an IPA and amber ale. None of the rye sourness usually associated with the grain. Very, very good for the style.
