Year of New Beer: Rhye IPA, Smuttynose Brewing (NH)

Written By: Dion on 10/01/2013

Floral, grassy hops pretty much dominate the nose, with only the faintest of sweet citrus getting through. On the tongue, citrus pith quickly takes a back seat to a very peppery rye spice, with a dry bitter finish. The hops don't seem to add a lot of depth, mainly just bitterness. Not my favorite from this brewery, but still not a bad beer.
