Since 2018, well-known Polish brewer has made these blandly dry India Pale Ales. Wavering fruited spicing, shuttered piney bittering, gluey cardboard malts, spoiled herbage and minimal body put this closer to a boringly misguided pale ale.

PARADOX BEAVER BITE NEW ENGLAND IPA
OK flagship NEIPA with soft-toned grapefruit-peeled orange licks, peachy tangerine tang, mild piney bittering and dark floral dabs over lightly creamed crystal malting.
PARADOX CAPTAIN JACK MAIBOCK
Soothingly easygoing maibock with subdued lemon-candied orange, tangerine and cherry tang plus mild herbal spicing reaching polite caramelized pale malt bottom.
EVIL TWIN NYC EVIL MOON APPLE + PEAR WIT
On tap at Taphouse 15, sweet sticky apple juicing and bruised pear browning retain sugary splurge as candied peach-tangerine-orange snips plus light coriander spicing stay distant at cloyingly saccharine-licked apple and pear finish.
BEER TREE MASHING PUMPKINS
On tap at Taphouse 15, dewy pumpkin seeded salting meets mild autumn spicing for easygoing pumpkin ale. Pumpkin-skinned butternut squash sedation contrasts tingly clove-nutmeg-cinnamon spicing and dried orange residue.
NEW JERSEY HYPNOTIC PUMPKIN ALE
On tap at Hoover’s Tavern, earthen pumpkin seeded salting drifts inside sweet crystal-malted pumpkin pie spicing and light vanilla creaming, leaving sharp cider residue on rangy autumnal moderation.
DROWNED LANDS SCYTHE PUMPKIN ALE
Fine foeder fermented pumpkin ale contrasts subtle maple-glazed caramelized pumpkin spicing against earthen gourd musk. Gingery nutmeg-clove spicing stays soft above Vienna-malted spelt, red wheat and millet graining, retaining easygoing appeal without losing flavonoid depth.
DYCKMAN TRIPL3 TRIPEL
Creamy rum-soaked banana sweetness, tangy bruised orange scamper and plummy apricot swagger reach honeyed malt base contrasting white-peppered herbage and sharp cider bittering of rich Belgian tripel.
DYCKMAN OKTOBERFEST
Off-dry marzen lets honeyed tea dewiness, musty orange musk and dried prune mildness reach cloy honeyed Vienna malting. And its pasty lagered malts prove cloy.
WEST KILL BICKNELL’S THRUSH AMERICAN PALE ALE
Traditional amber-cleared moderation lets sour orange oiling, slight fungi musk and wispy wet leaf astringency hamper dry black peppered pale malting, imparting gluey paper gumminess to drab autumnal pale ale styling.
RUSTY RAIL STICKY APPLE CARAMEL APPLE LAGER
On tap at Hoover’s Tavern, initial caramel apple sweetness undone by mismatched lager-malted cider snag. Sugary candy apple glaze gone in a whimper as wet grain musk sets in.
MORITZ PREMIUM LAGER
Brusquely herbal Saaz hop musk filters thru earthen mineral grain rusticity and dark floral resin of fair pilsner malted moderation. Spritzy lemon rotted fizziness sits atop pasty cardboard bottom.
