Insight - Terrapin Rye Pale Ale clone, WLP051, 5.4%, bottled 08/06.

Great pour, awesome nice tight fluffy head.
Awesome deep golden colour with slight opaqueness.
Nice aromatics from the aromatic hops.
Awesome lacing forming on the glass.
Lovely grapefruit flavour on the initial hit. A very malty backbone with the late balance towards malt more than dry and crisp with lingering bitterness.
A lovely drop. Almost downed the whole tally in the few mins it has taken to write this

If it was mine, I'd add some pilsner to the grist and drop the mash temp a little to give it a dryer finish.

EDIT: Just re-read the beer title and noticed it was a RYE IPA. Rye is giving it the body, and is to style. Disregard my comments then for a PA. I love Rye beers, especially RyeIPA's and this is a cracker.
