Aggressive medium-bodied India Pale Ale evenly spreads tangy grapefruit-orange-pineapple juicing and zesty lemon tartness above sticky hop-oiled pine resin. Delicately pine-tarred hemp, pine nut and walnut undertones help brisk citric spritz contrast crystal malt sugaring.

‘Harvest’ seems like a misnomer as robust English-styled brown ale shuns expected raw-grained barnyard earthiness for brown-sugared nuttiness and chocolate-roasted caramel nougat sweetness. Mild lemon-twisted espresso pungency, sour rye breading and root vegetable musk counter heavy mocha influence.

On tap at Jimmy’s No. 43, musty Belgian yeast picks up botanical floral aspects and white-peppered herbal notions for sweet ‘n sour citric ascendance. Heather tips (instead of hops) provide hyssop-perfumed honeysuckle nectar sweetness to soft lemon custard, mandarin orange and green grape illusions.

Well-done flagship beer perfect for hopheads despite lighter pale ale affiliation. Boisterous tongue-coating IPA-like piney fruiting spreads across alcohol-burnt juniper sharpness and earthen hop resin. Grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering lavishes zesty lemon, orange and peach undertones.

Classic post-prohibition recipe given resurgence around 2012. Toasted hop spicing relegates grassy wheat-chaffed sourdough breading to maize-dried barley biscuit base for delicately sessionable moderation.

On tap at Max’s, fruitful dry-bodied flagship beer offers mild India Pale Ale-like pine-needled orange peel bittering to floral grapefruit, apple, peach, pear and mango illusions. Pleasant caramel-toasted barley malt base sweetens the backend.

On tap at Jimmy’s No. 43, unconventional stronger version of lactic-soured Abraxas brings tart Gose-related lime salting and spiced lemon zest to Band-Aid-wafted smoked beechwood. Lightly creamed cotton-candied white wheat sweetness contrasts yellow-peppered green apple, white peach, guava and plantain fruiting beneath carbolic citric spritz.

Midrange summery wheat ale brewed with lemon peel and grains of paradise retains fruity crispness. Coriander-spiced mandarin orange dots white-peppered hop spritz to wheat-honeyed backend.

Bold 2013 version of Old Guardian saturates coarsely hop-charred campfire setting with oak-smoked wheat malting – contrasting creamy chocolate-browned burnt caramel sweetness. Leather-backed pine resin seeps into mocha-laden toffee-vanilla midst, ancillary dark fruited drift and tertiary honey nut tinge. Peated Scotch nuances waver.  

Expansive flavor profile heightens wintry-spiced Belgian strong dark ale. Brown-sugared cinnamon-coriander-allspice conflux and sharp mace-peppered nutmeg grounding envelop toffee-candied Belgian chocolate sweetness. Subtle plum, fig, banana, cherry and apricot nuances receive tangy orange peel rasp, altering the heather-tipped fungi yeast pungency. Herbal licorice root tease and tannic port wine snip provide sub-illusions.

Efficiently combining Ommegang, Duvel and Chouffe yeast, Belgian candi-sugared tripel brings elegant warmth to creamy cookie dough-spiced caramel malting. Buttered whiskey midst girds soft white-peppered orange-tangerine fruiting. Musty fungi-like herbal musk slinks below.

Coming on strong with lively grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering and astringent gin-like juniper bite, potent (10% alcohol) citra-hopped full body picks up fruited malt sweetness along the way. Mild resinous pine lacquers sugary crystal malting as spicy tangerine, pineapple, pear and apple illusions peak mid-palate. Tertiary mango, guava and kiwi tropicalia stays recessive.
