Hazy and a dark orange, amberish colour with a fine, off-white cap. Good head retention, streaky lacing. The aroma was a pleasant combination of dry, crushed rye malt and orange/grapefruit citrus, with just a bit of caramel. Moderate bitterness with some citrus hops mid-palate and malt throughout (cereal, rye, light caramel). Fairly dry and slightly oily in texture. Average carbonation with a light body that was on the thin side. Not a bad beer, but seemed a little overattenuated. A good base of flavours though.

Nice addition to the style. It’s solid, but nothing stellar. It has all the essentials, but doesn’t really add anything unexpected or move mountains.

Mom bought me a growler on Friday night. At my buddy's house right now drinking it.

A - No real head to speak of. I poured hard to stir one up. The body is a nice amber color, tho relatively hazy. Swamp water? Decent lacing.

S - Nice American hop profile and a bit of Rye. Nice. I believe 20% Rye Malt was used in this?

T - A nice flowery hopping atop a big malt base. An almost tea-like bitterness on the back end. Not huge, but nothing particularly off.

M - Rather thin and lightly carbonated.

D - Not horrible, but nothing I'd return to... at least in growler form.

Notes: Not a bad brew but nothing outstanding. I've had better from the DBC.
