Arbeiter Rye It Red Rye IPA

 Arbeiter Rye It Red Rye IPA.  

5.9% ABV, Arbeiter Brewing, Minneapolis, Minnesota.Hops: Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, El Dorado, Mandarina Bavaria. (All the best ones.)

Dark crimson coloring, clear, lasting layer of creamy froth atop. 

In the nose: smooth malty notes hide bitterness below. Citrus and pine butt up against slight sweetness. 

In the mouth: big, bouncy bitterness, outsized hoppiness blast the palate. Despite that, fairly easy-going and drinkable. Medium bodied, long malty finish. Peppery, just a bit fruity, flush with flavor. 

I’m digging this one.
