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 8.5% ABV so double your pleasure and double your fun because Terrapin went a little crazy with this one!
Malts: 2-row pale, Munich, Malted Rye, Bisuit Malt, Honey Malt.
Hops: Amarillo, Cascade, East Kent Goldings, Fuggle, Magnum.
Stats: IBU's, 80; OG, 22.3, ABV: 8.5%

"Pours thick hazy golden, no head. Medium sweet, soft and full boded with notes of caramel and rye bread. Loads of hops simmer above. Lingering very bitter finish.

[2] Review by changeup45 from Orlando, Florida, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/29/2008 8:32:31 PM)
"I thought their regular Rye Pale Ale was pretty good but nothing special but double the recipe and we have this tasty beer. Deep amber colored with a moderate foamy head. Pretty nice citrus fruity hoppy aroma with some rye malts evident. Rich caramel, grainy malts mixed with bitter hops with a touch of citrus fruits and we have a delicious blend of flavors. This is a seasonal beer so if you see it I definitely recommend giving it a try!"

[3] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/7/2007 10:52:10 PM)
"Excellent! I had this "over" Crystal hops, so that affected the taste, but I feel that I can give a fair judgment to this beer. Its beautiful dark amber-brown is very tempting, and the aroma is hoppy but not "piney." Taste is delightfully hoppy with minimal bitterness. Very pleasant to drink, this is a beer one should sip and savor."

"Awesome brew overall, tastes delicious and refreshing on tap. This brew pours a brilliant orange-copper colour very deep with a soft head that stays around for a while. nice lacing, and lots of fruit flavor. full astringent hops on the palate."

"Golden colour, not much head. Aroma American hops, with clear Amarillo notes. Flavour is caramellish, flowery hops with hints of honey. Hops and rye in aftertaste. "
