Cape Comorin

This is a Rye Double IPA. It's base malt is mostly 2-row, a quarter Maris Otter, and about 10% rye, with a small bit of medium crystal (caramel) malts. It's bittering hop is cascade, and flavored with Amarillo, Chinook, and Citra.

Overall Impression: A hoppy, fairly strong pale ale. Somewhat malty, but not nearly as malty, or boozy, as an american barleywine. Strongly hopped, but the aroma leans towards fruity citrus and pine characteristics. Bitterness is not overly intense, but is very present. The rye adds a spicy and earthy character not usually present in this style. It sits a bit heavier than most DIPAs, which is by design. Color was originally a golden orange/yellow, but the addition of rye added a slightly more tan hue. Show Less
