Vigorously fruited, tan-laced, amber-hued, Belgian-styled India Pale Ale brings floral-teased citric spicing to lightly pine-hopped bittering. Easily consumed despite shrewd 8.5% alcohol content, its sugary grapefruit tang and peachy orange sweetness entangle lilting pomegranate trifle.

So reminiscent of Northern California’s enchanted forest with its glistening spruce malting hovering decidedly atop countered piney bitterness. Spiced hop whiff plus herbal jasmine, lilac, and rosebud nuances enhance woodsy parameter of thrilling sunset orange-hued IPA. Tangy apricot-peach-kiwi briskness drifts across floral yeast sequel and chaffed wheat, mowed grass, and fresh hay earthiness. Buttery swallow conceals caramel-vanilla tease engaging astringent lemon pith-embittered finish. Highly recommended.

Durable dry-bodied India Pale Ale conveys ripe red-fruited sharpness and ancillary floral nuance, finishing with well-carbonated bitter hop bite less aggressive guzzlers will appreciate alongside heartier thirsts.

Honeyed cereal grains underlie sharp-fruited hop plain to bitter floral-spiced orange-grapefruit-peeled finish of penny-hued dry body. Caramelized biscuit-y wheat bottom brings out peach, pear, and quince ripeness.

Nondescript spice-hopped translucent pale body lacks nearly all IPA requirements, as cereal maltose frontage, resinous fruit dankness and lost herbal dash barely hold on to dwindling orange-tangerine tang. Originally brewed under auspices of Aspen brewer Broadway, this moderate bitter retains lingering buttery Scotch-like calmness.

Lacey chestnut-hued English draught version succeeds despite initial light delivery pushing majority of flavor to the delicate finish. Atop crisp water flow, laid-back chocolate-mocha malts offer shades of blanched bitterness and debonair sweetness. Mowed hay and fresh cut wheat outline wispy hop guidance as subtle dark caramel and maple notes caress mildest coffee sourness mid-palate. Gentle giant could pass for lighter porter or busy brown ale.

Frothily viscous penny-coppered ale lacks body and complexity, but caramel malt sweetness, perfume-y floral accents, and frisky seltzer-like carbonation will please softer palates just fine. Tamped down hops reveal diluted grapefruit rind-orange peel bitterness.

West Coast IPA given bright Jamaican reggae-styled label, lingering tongue-coating citrus fruitiness, and pleasing berry-enhanced barley-oats finish. Zesty citric hop spicing counters earthy grains and herbal hemp twist. Sort of a cross between a bitter IPA and sweet red ale.

Sweetish caramel malt opening and black cherry sensation get spiced hop backdrop, but sinuous honey finish seems incomplete.

Imposing copper-hued IPA with heavy yeast influence, blackened malt thickness, mineral grain sharpness and buttery texture softened by mild hop bitterness above crisp water base More efficient than Pike’s Pale Ale.

Oval flask-shaped medicine-bottled golden-hazed English ale finds muted roasted hop bittering gently countering mild citric tingle to mineral-grained earthen bottom. Sugary cream corn register, nifty herbal-floral perk, and toasted almond tinge gradually revealed.

Dramatic skeleton-labeled penny-coppered Halloween seasonal damn near competes with more chocolate-y hop-induced Ipswich I.P.A. (bettering similarly styled Maine brewpub stash quaffed on winter ’05 trip). Amazingly flamboyant floral bouquet, expansive orange peel bittering, and grapefruit-soured cider kick strengthen generous peach-apricot tang surrounding alcohol-bitten black currant dip. Sweet grain-malted finish softly settles in.
