Sierra Nevada Rye Torpedo Rye IPA

 Sierra Nevada Rye Torpedo Rye IPA. 


6.2% ABV, 55 IBU, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Chico, California. (Or Mills River, North Carolina?)

Light chill haze, deep orange color, slim white head.

In the nose: citrus, blended with rye malt, like an orange/cookie combo.

In the mouth: peppery, slightly spicy, washed over with a wave of citrus. Nice and hoppy. Beautifully bitter. Medium bodied. Continues to treat the palate all the way through. 

Bold hop flavor and full-bodied malt combine in this IPA, inspired by our classic Torpedo but brewed with rye malt.

MALTS C-60, Munich, Rye, Two-row Pale

HOPS Chinook
