Just drink Belgians for a while until it gets better.
Now that sounds like a good way to handle it.

A little research turned up that the experimental hops are HBC 366. Steve Dresler said it's a huge oil bomb, much like Citra, with some tropical fruit aromas, but with more of a citrus and grapefruit character. Sounds like a great hop!

Got a case in the fridge right now
Wasn't sure I liked it when I had the first one....never and a Rye Ale before so it caught me off guard.
Now I've had a few and I have to say it's very good.
Denny, that sounds pretty awesome! I assumed it was an HBC hop due to the number chosen. Dresler referred to it as only '366'.
Was beer camp as cool as it sounds?
Beer Camp is EVEN COOLER than it sounds! I just tapped a keg of the beer we made there and it's incredible.
how did you get an invite?
If I were to nitpick, I'd say both the rye... flavor [is] a bit too mellow. I'd like it to be a bit bigger
I agree that the rye character was mild
There was a contest on the AHA discussion forum where homebrewers could ask questions of the SN staff. I took issue with some of SN's answers as being not homebrewer oriented enough. After that, I was invited to attend.
Am I the only one who thought the hops went a bit too far in this beer and totally overshadowed the rye?? I love everything from Sierra Nevada, but this one just didn't seem quite right...
