PLEASE NOTE: This beer kit is a "PACK ON DEMAND" beer kit.  This means we do not create the kit until you order it.  YOU SHOULD ANTICIPATE SOME DELAY IN FULFILLMENT AS THE KIT WILL NEED TO BE CONSTRUCTED.

Beer Style:  Rye IPA, a specialty off-shoot of American IPA, adds a bit of extra intrigue to the malt profile of this otherwise hop dominated beer. This Old Caz recipe goes BIG on aromatic hops.

Dominant Ingredients and Characteristics: Rye malt adds a unique spice-like element while no less than 7 oz of aromatic hops - Citra, Simcoe, Cascade, Amarillo - make a wonderful catastrophe.
