Offbeat copper-toned ’09 Extra Special Bitter allows tannic grape acidity, moldy orange tartness, and mild nuttiness to affect honey-soured caramel-toasted malting. Citric-hopped cider sharpness gets diacetyl at tea-like tobacco-dried backend.

Tremendous full-bodied double-hopped version of bottle-conditioned bomber-bottled ‘20^th anniversary reserve’ Extra Special Bitter brings dark-spiced India Pale Ale-like fruiting to rich cocoa-chocolate malting. Orange-grapefruit peel bittering anchors brownish crimson commemoration as prune-raisin souring rises above tongue-tingling nutmeg-cinnamon spicing. Mushroom-like fungi yeast adds funky Belgian farmhouse ale underside.

On tap, traditional autumnal Extra Special Bitter brings sweet and sour dry-fruited nature to piney floral-spiced Cascade hop bittering. Grapefruit, pineapple, and apricot surge ahead of buttery caramel-roasted malts lining mild-bodied gold-hazed seasonal.

Alluring ‘Extreme’ ale with emboldened 80 IBU hop measurement, viscous saffron body, and thick yeast sediment perfect for bitter hopheads. Herbaceous floral fruiting fronts wood-chipped grapefruit-peeled orange rind bitterness and sufficient hop-oiled juniper berry bite to candi-sugared caramel malt base. Tropical pineapple, nectarine, apricot, guava and tangerine tang counters ascending alcohol-burnt piney brashness.

Double fermented gold-rusted medium-bodied bitter retains biscuit-buttered bread crusting, mild floral hop lament, and vegetal respite before diacetyl honey serenade softens its light malt-smoked whiskey finish. Ashen wood tones knocks back citric snip.

Translucent red-orange-hued bitter retains alcohol-fueled pastry-caked mocha malting and trim flaked oat toasting to blunt hop-roasted bittering that lingers steadfast. Lighter porter drinkers and brown ale hounds will take an instant liking.

Consistent spruced citrus sweetness pleasantly overlays equally absorbing barley-roasted oatmeal-flaked assertion. Tangy peach vibrancy and pungent berry souring gain prominence above mild chocolate undertones mid-palate, adding smooth effervescence to organic-grained mineral-watered enticement.

Easy drinkin’ copper-toned bitter (a.k.a. Rogue Oregon Golden Ale) receives polite spruce hop frontage and mild toasted barley continuance, settling into clean watered sweet malt finish. A fitting session beer for milder thirsts fluffing tardy honeyed wheat against concealed grapefruit-quince undertone.

Dry-hopped cask conditioned ale with traditional British distinction. Somewhat reminiscent of Boddington Ale (minus the floating carbonation ball), this hop-fueled, Scotch malt-sweetened premium retains overall smoothness and butterscotch finish, but needs to be heartier.

Easy, unassuming, light-bodied pale ale with pungent alcohol aroma, grain-tingling pep, and tinny hop finish. Closer in character to refined pilsners with its maintained head, fizzy retention, and moderate bitter flow.

Dry wheat-husked toasted hop sass and chalky caramel malting seduce laid-back soft water flow as aromatic tobacco-peat earthiness lingers. Secondary rye-pumpernickel breading and wet cedar sweetness recede to smoked wood tinge. Surprisingly lacks advertised bitterness though redeeming novice appeal is undeniable.

Uncommon wheat wine subtlety immediately upended by fully illuminating hop-spruced nectar, cherry, and blueberry illusions. Never too bitter for indulgent summer ale fans, though.
