Sweet barley-wheat confluence and sour orange-grapefruit enliven musty bitter-hopped malt-scented pale ale. Subtly spiced dry finish lingers indubitably, picking up unexpected piney chamomile elegance.

Vibrant reddish nickel-glowed ‘double I.P.A.’ posits freshly embittered floral-perfumed pine hops against illustrious candi-sugared tropical fruit thrust and creamy vanilla-butterscotch sweep. Tangy pineapple-mango-cherry-nectarine-peach frontage gains corresponding orange-bruised grapefruit juiciness above cereal-grained almond-toasted flaked oats spine, perfectly countering wet Cascade-Centennial-Chinook hopping. Betters similarly styled Phin & Matt’s Extraordinary Ale.

Stylistic piney-hopped fruitiness glistens up-front as rich corn-husked grain-toasted malts settle behind. Floral-spiced peach-pineapple-grapefruit tang dangles surefire bittersweet template above phenol alcohol astringency.

Vibrant fruity aroma and syrupy medicinal mouthfeel get this organic brew off to a fine start. Flowery citrus hops embitter nutty depth countering maple malt sweetness to earthy finish. Not your typical smoky India Pale Ale by any means, though characteristic burnt wood chip flavor does add spunk. Brewery defunct: 2001.

Bottled ’03, complex butterscotch-glowed rocky-headed India Pale Ale’s perky citric esters hit nose hard. Anticipatory apricot-tangerine-pineapple tang enhances loud tropical nectar frontage as cherry-apple-pear tartness reinforces wheat-based hop-backed floral linger. Barleywine-cognac illusions seep through sugary midst as resinous pine undercurrent pulsates.

Not nearly as aggressively bitter as most alimony sufferers. Mild copper-hazed IPA anchors floral-hopped citric spritz and sour green apple tartness to sticky mocha malting. Though not as creamy, strong, or daring as California’s more familiar pine-needled IPA fare, seasoned pale ale fans will enjoy it as a lighter, cleaner alternative.

Quite reserved coppery chestnut Double I.P.A. maintains dry nutty pine comb disposition and biscuit-y wheat backend. Toasted barley nosing picks up spiced hop tingle and trusty fructose sweetness on first sip. Subsequent grapefruit bitterness disguises minor acidity and sedate apple-melon-orange whim.

Dry-hopped grapefruit peel zing pertinently embitters zesty lemony orange sunning and wafting floral notes settling above woody bottom. Wintergreen freshness adds nice touch.

Bright spruce-y nectar surge elevates sticky tropical fruitiness and juicy tangerine tang, nicely countering prolonged lemon-hopped bittering. Pleasant citric malt finish ebbs as mountain water crispness crystallizes surfacing floral notes.

Marvelous hophead delight boasts resinous hop-oiled pine-needled bitterness penetrating zesty tropical fruiting. Luxuriant grapefruit and lemon peel sourness counters durable floral-spiced spruce-sapped peach-apple-cherry-pineapple tang. Latent melon hints further sweeten candi-sugared malt stickiness of full-bodied hit.

Unassuming nickel-hued cereal grained IPA lacks character and distinction, but at least dry orange twinge, caramel malt wallow, and wheat biscuit sweetness make cameos.

Brisk limited edition winter seasonal counters resinous piney-hopped bitterness with capacious floral-tinged red-fruited sweetness. Bright grapefruit-peeled orange-apple-peach-berry tang gets candied caramel malting enlivened by woodsy evergreen gird and lacquered bark tinge.
