Fruited mocha waft informs spruce-hopped pleasantry and vegetal strip lingering to sharp piney finish. Maple-sapped malts gather reserved barleycorn roast and meager cocoa resin lost amongst intrusive phenol accrual.

Label celebrates game of cricket; strong liquid inside signifies great English IPA tradition. Heavily carbonated viscous rust setting with suspended yeast particles given burnt wood tone and orange peel smidgen for initial assertion. Definitive hop bitterness consumes smoked malt finish as lusty butterscotch awakening battles back sulfuric acerbity.

Perfumed orange rind waft overmatches musty orange-apricot musk, dank grapefruit-lemon sedation and astringent hop bitterness of indefinite yellow-glowed English-styled IPA. Floral accents emerge in cracked wheat setting as fresh-cut grass-hay-horsehide illusions and vacant vegetal nuances skitter by sour-fruited diacetyl finish.

Spiced red apple aromatics and bitterest pine nut initiation caress coffee-stained mocha malts. Pungent hop-embittered resilience gains strength to resin-y grain finish, but floral peach and honeyed spruce lack endurance.

Aromatic pine needle sensation and teasing spruce lilt provide wintry freshness to clear saffron medium body. Zesty grapefruit rind, orange peel, and pineapple tang embitters spice-hopped mineral grains. Herbaceous basil, cannabis, and white pepper undertones pleat misty rainwater crispness and sullen vegetal snip.

Tiny Norwich Inn offers several quality one-off microbrews worth exploring (check Brewpub section). Floral rosebud-tulip-sunflower nosing and peppery-hopped citric frontage anoint tropical mango-pineapple-peach tang. Earthen grain bottom embittered by hay-horsehide acridity to complete durable cedar-tinged I.P.A.

Weak clear-bodied amber deserves better hop resolve considering IPA category. Phenol astringency depletes grapefruit-peach slush and bittersweet malt finish subsides abruptly.

Marvelous 10% alcohol ale commemorates 10th anniversary (1995-2005). Piney hopped rigidity maintains embittered exactitude as bright orange-peach-lemon tang sweetens tart grapefruit undercurrent and perfume-y floral hops. Stable grain bottom reinforces evergreen freshness, lingered orange peel dirge, and increased green apple influence.

Lustrously full-bodied IPA brings ripened orange-peach-apple tang to embittered grapefruit rind stead. Smoked pine nuance increases, but not at expense of capacious spruce-sweetened cinnamon-coriander spicing.

Thick maple-nut thrust consumes robust pale body. Reaping better hop bitterness, malt richness, and grain refinement than most competitors, well rounded IPA may lack distinction, but never spunk. Brewery defunct: 1998.

Pleasant bark-dried piney-hop bitterness fades as spruce-spiced apple-pear-peach tsunami soaks orange-soured tangerine-grapefruit tang. Rye wheat backdrop provides tangible depth.

Heavenly butterscotch alleviation undercoats superb honeyed wheat and chocolate-pale malt exchange. Luscious citrus freshness, impervious orange rind bittering, and honeyed nectar-melon panorama crest at mildly hop-embittered silky-spiced spruce finish. Marquee West Coast microbrewery compares favorably to Rogue with its harmonious blend of medium-to-full-bodied organic grain stamina and immaculate water purity.
