Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is 10 Barrel Brewing Company Hop Rye’It
IPA. Here’s another beer I sourced while
on summer vacation. This bottle I picked
up at Broken Top Bottle Shop & Ale Café
(here). Be sure to visit there if you
find yourself in Bend, OR. The owner is
great and the selection is amazing!
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
dark hazy amber with an orangish tint, a nice off-white head and left loads of
lacing on the glass.
Aroma: Citrus
hops, spicy rye, sweet caramel, toffee, toast and faint tropical and floral hop
notes.
Taste: Citrus and
floral hop bitterness up front followed by caramel malt sweetness, pale malts
and spicy rye.
Overall: Balanced
and enjoyable, 10 Barrel Brewing Company Hop Rye’It IPA is well done. At 6.5% ABV this leans more towards the IPA
side of things and absolutely worth a try.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
