Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA

Take a good IPA, brew it with some rye malt and combine it with the greatness of Sierra Nevada and you have the Ruthless Rye IPA.  It poured a deep copper with the typical Sierra Nevada overly effervescent head.  The nose was spicier than a typical IPA with less of the citrus and pine hop and more of the rye spice.  The taste was a peppery hops with the hoppy bitterness balanced by the spicy rye and some caramel to boot.  The Ruthless Rye had a thin and spicy front that left a herbal bitter coating on my palate.  While maybe not as complex as some rye IPA’s it is still a tasty tippable brew that was highly satisfying. A great change of pace and another great brew from Sierra Nevada.
