Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA

I must admit I've been a bit suspicious of Sierra Nevada since being disappointed by their Pale Ale first up.

Then again, this is both Rye and an IPA, things I like individually and - when encountered - as a pair.

Pours a lovely snowy head on a dark body with a great strong hop laden nose. Attractive. It's quite bitter throughout, a bold uncompromised IPA with no real caramel, putting me in mind of Ruination at times. Lovely lacing all the way down the glass.

This is a top beer and recommended. Well played Sierra Nevada. 8.5
