Fly High Michigan: A Review of Sky High Rye from Arcadia Brewing Co.
Arcadia Brewing Co.
Battle Creek, Michigan
I'm an accidental IPA drinker. I pick out beers usually by the bottle art, quality of name and the absence of IPA, APA, Hop Monster and Bitter Jizz Tumescence Hopslopper written on the label. That is: I don't really know what I'm buying or drinking until I open and pour but I definitely purposely avoid souped-up hop-trippers.
I'm also coming to find that half of these rye ales are surreptitiously hopping half-IPAs. The bitterness even permeates the foamscud head on this one and the bitters prevail on into the drink itself. There is also mild sweetness in spots, a fruity wheatness that also touches the lemon-jello dregs of herbal highness. At $3.99 per bomber it's moral equivalent is one-fourth a NI HAO KAI LAN HOHO DOLL which I am now a proud poppa of (too bad some poor sucker who will pay some dude 2 1/2 times its worth on eBay). Hint: Target has them on sale for $17.99.
