Since 1713, Welch brewers have perfected and refined this simply marvelous full-bodied ale. While difficult to classify, its straightforward malt prosperity secures off dry hop lightness and non-sweetened mineral grain assertion. Best of all, it packs quite an alcoholic wallop.

Exceptionally watery, flat, acrid persistence overwhelms lame rye dryness and honeyed citric astringency, making one yearn for quality wine-silken French brews. Skunked hop bitterness and salty brine harshness subside at unassuming metallic finish. Vile acetous bile.

Exceedingly dry well-carbonated bright gold bitter ale retains endless toasted malt character, sour citric tartness, white grape esters, and bottom-heavy clumped yeast sediment. Light pomegranate dusting converges with earthen grain mustiness, lemony hard-candied parch, and flimsy white peach tinge at finish. Vinegary vegetal tag never interferes.

Pale Viennese malts and sinewy butterscotch yeast accentuated by dark berries for beautifully creamy moderate-bodied opening. Puffy beige-headed rust-hued Oregonian then gathers floral hop subtlety and delicate grain insistence for a ‘brutal’ bitter not restricted to hardcore drinkers.

Taut dry-hopped barley-roasted thrust and sweet red ale-like fruited spiciness usurped by spruce overtones. Astringent grapefruit pith and orange peel complement bittersweet maple-sapped finish for abundantly versatile full-bodied amber.

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.
