Others say rye goes good as sub for wheat in DSGA recipe, pale ales, ipas etc so i imagine anything like that would be good.

Caramel Rye IPA?
 
I'm not a big fan. There's rye, then there's caramel rye.

All I get from caramel rye is this aweful chemical tartness. Tastes like kit twang.

YMMV and probably will.
 
It can go really well in an IPA, use in place of a crystal addition for a nice spicyness.

cheers

Judicious use of +1 to all nick has said
 
Rild Chiald IPA that was on tap at Archive for the IPA comp was made using caramel rye.
 
How'd that go in that comp?


















:p :ph34r:
 
I use it in my Rye ESB. I've tried it with and without the caramel rye and I much prefer the version with. Added an additional level of flavour and maltiness
A touch over 5% was what I had, out of 20% or so rye total.
If you do go for the recipe read the notes as the grains in the recipe database didn't match what I used.
