   Rye IPA poured a crystal clear amber color with a thumb width, white head.  Rye dominates the nose.  The body is clean, dry, and smooth with a sharp hop bite that comes in after lots of rye.  The finish is very dry, with a long lingering dryness and some bitterness.  Overall, this is a solid, yet interesting brew.  The rye is nice and contrasts the hops well.  Rye IPA is not overly complex, yet there is plenty of flavor.  This is a well made beer, however not my favorite style of all time.    

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
