The traditional Rye IPA is a variant of the classic India Pale Ale that stands out for the use of rye malt in its recipe:
- Visually, it has a deep amber to copper color, with a persistent and creamy foam.
- On the nose, it offers a combination of citrus and floral aromas from the hops, along with spicy and earthy notes characteristic of rye. Malt nuances of bread, caramel, and a slight spicy touch can also be perceived.
- When tasting it, a balance between the hop bitterness and the spicy sweetness of rye is experienced, with notes of tropical fruits, pine, and a dry and slightly spicy finish.
- Its medium body and moderate carbonation make it a robust and complex beer, ideal for pairing with spicy dishes, grilled meats, and strong cheeses.
- It pairs well with spicy dishes, as the freshness and hops of the IPA can cut through the heat of spicy dishes, such as smoked curry or tacos with smoked salsa.
