look: 3.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25

Appearance: Orangish gold.
Smell: Some grapefruit, citrus, and floral.
Taste: Some bitter grapefruit and citrus. Light honey.
Mouthfeel: Moderate carbonation.

This is an enjoyable brew, though it's much lighter than other rye IPAs. The taste of grapefruit and floral mirrors the smell. It also adds a slight bitterness to the mix. I would drink this again, but wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.

Light straw with heavy carbonation with mild head. Hoppy, sweet, citrus aroma. Heavy metallic and hoppy taste characteristic of it being an IPA, but a bit sweet at the same time. More depth than we remember the last time we tried this. Better. Herbal notes as you continue through the beer. Finishes true.

Glassware: Yuengling pint; Occasion: O's?Yanks four-game seriees opens...Appearance: nicely effervescent copper body holds a generous, cloudy two-finger white head that laces quite nicely...Aroma: bright, punchy fragrance--alluring boquet...Palate: thin for an IPA, and fizzy and oily enough to sully the experience....Taste: mildly present; the taste is fleeting and not the spicy, hoppy mix that the label--or the scent--promised!...Overall: lacing nicely at its end, this beer's promise of a complex, interesting IPA fizzes into a watered-down, albeit comfortable, brew...would not seek it out for an evening....

I love Rye IPA's this one I loved. I have been the FX Matt Brewery, and every time I am NYS I pick up there seasonal sampler and this was including, unfortunately no 'Willie-Wonka-Golden-Bottle', but still a solid offer.

Great colour, amber brown, nice head retention on pour, smell ust right, no over power, but gave the intent, subtle initial flavour but instantly the hops were there but didn't over power the malt, crisp finish.
