Rye Must You Label Me Pale Ale

ALL-GRAIN

Heftier than your typical American pale ale, but not quite claiming IPA status, this rye imperial pale ale features the sticky, resinous flavor of Chinook hops, plus piney Simcoe and citrusy Centennial in the finish. If rye tends to give you stuck mashes, include the optional rice hulls to keep the wort flowing.
