Beneath lumpy tan head and viscous butterscotch hue lies tiny yeast sediment as mild IPA brightens grassy-hopped grain bitterness with brisk floral-bound orange peel bittering and sugar-spiced mango-pineapple-peach-pear-melon-tangerine fruit punch. Silken pine-combed spruce undercurrent fills out creamy caramel center. Light, crisp and zesty enough for fair weather pale ale lovers.

Cascading tan bubbles surface atop amber body, crystal malt sweetness spikes mocha-cocoa-butterscotch waver, and bitter smoky finish acquires unrefined maple quip.

Aromatic spiced hops, sweet caramel malting, and smooth barley-nut warmth welcome mild amber-hazed IPA, but watery ambiance takes away its nascent luster.

Meritorious citric-soured nickel-hued alcohol-burned strong ale blends floral-dabbed hop tingle and juniper-bitten grapefruit-orange peel bittering into remedial sugar cookie sweetness. Grassy hay-horsehide-barnyard waft matches earthen wheat-straw/ wild oats backdrop aiding intricate concoction.

Sugared cereal malts, toasted barley, and honeyed wheat juxtapose bright orange-tangerine-grapefruit bitterness. Subsequently, piney resin and sappy spruce darken sinewy yeast sweetness. Sauntering malt-glazed finish ripens fruity adjuncts well.

Perfumed-hopped orange-peeled grapefruit tang and glutenous blackened mocha malts vie for dominance above neutral organic barley base. Closer, at times, to an Extra Special Bitter, with its sharp mineral graining.

Veritable ‘hophead fave’ with tingly mandarin orange, pineapple, apricot, and honeysuckle tang gains lively floral spicing seeping into quinine water-crisped herbal mint twinge of dependable anniversary ale.

Clear golden red-fruited I.P.A. judiciously layers spruce-induced orange peel, grapefruit, pineapple, peach and red apple ripeness above pine-y earthen hop resin. Floral swipe and herbal snipe detected. Not far removed from more distinct Ithaca Casca Zilla Red Ale.

Pleasant caramel malts, sanguine wood burnt grains, and lace-y foam linger within bittersweet orange-peeled pineapple, peach and grapefruit confines. Tender, softly calibrated, milder hopped change of pace away from thicker, richer, more complex rivals like Ipswich IPA. Serve to more attenuated pale ale and lager fans.

Fleeting cinnamon-spiced apple-peach-pumpkin pie delectability fades to less prominent pine-needled woody-hopped grapefruit peel bitterness. Recessive chocolate-cocoa malting sweetens minor tea-tobacco tease to bread-crusted biscuit spine. Rudimental pasty flavoring doesn’t deteriorate as badly as other Dundee brews manage to. 2010 re-tasting: Candi-sugared yellow-fruited malting contrasted lemon-dropped tartness and gin-like juniper berry bittering.

Pleasant floral-fruited sweetness envelops Cascade-hopped peach-gourd sash and soft-watered purity of well-balanced medium body.
