Able Party Room Rye IPA

Able Party Room Rye IPA. Made with Able Rye Malt. 5.9 % ABV. 28 IBU. Able Seedhouse & Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.

I like the design on the can, which seems a little like the primary color thing which is in favor over at Fair State, and a little of BlackStack's, too. It's a thing.

Clear, bright amber hue, full white head, looking great.

In the nose: soft, citric, hoppy, slightly sweet, and just a little kick of spice.

In the mouth: More sweetness from the malt, quickly set off by a bit of the bitter. Hop bitterness hangs hard on the palate, but it's smooth and spicy/sweet, not harsh or hard. Beautiful balance of malt and hops. Quite tasty.

I'm a sucker for a good rye IPA, and this one here is one of them. Nice work.
