Description:
Double the malt, double the hops, and double the flavor of the original Rye Pale Ale recipe. (Hence the name Rye Squared.) With its mammoth hop aroma, bitterness and flavor, this beer is not for the faint at heart. The Rye Squared clocks in at a hefty 9.5% ABV so double your pleasure and double your fun because Terrapin went a little crazy with this one!

Appearance - 4.5
Pouring this into my tulip produces an inch of creamy white head. The head has great retention and leaves some decent lacing. The beer is clear and has a dark golden-orange hue.
Aroma - 4.0
A very nice nose consisting of citrus, caramel malt and a spicy rye. The rye aroma is the most dominating of the three I detected.
Mouthfeel - 3.5
Medium in body with moderate carbonation.
Taste - 4.0
The taste is very similar to the nose. It starts off with caramel malts with a dash of breadiness. The latter half of the beer is a combination of rye spiciness, citrus, and hops bitterness that all blend together in the aftertaste leaving a bitter, spicy finish.
Overall - 4.0
This is one of my favorite Terrapin beers. I love rye in beers, and this beer has a nice balance of hops, spiciness, and sweetness. This one is worth checking out.
