Engrossing copper-toned double-hopped India Pale Ale cannot conceal astringent 10.5% alcohol volume and never skimps on strong whiskey warmth. Colossal pine needled citric-peeled bittering counterbalances sappy maple-spruce stickiness and brown sugared apple-pear-nectar sweetness up-front. Evergreen-freshened grassy-floral hops usurp sinewy honeyed malts to potentially harsh wood-lacquered vodka finish.

Steadfast amber-hued English ale swirls stealth Scotch sweetness into butterscotch-butternut nicety and lightly embittered floral hops. Spoiled orange and green apple illusions peak through soft carbolic frisk. Those expecting traditional IPA template of smoked malts and tangible spicing may be puzzled but not disappointed.

Cloudy rust-hued tan-headed full-bodied IPA places rich roasted chocolate malting atop tinseled yeast sweetness and mildly spiced hops. Lingering smoked cedar finish resonates.

Wonderfully weird Picasso-like label and sly marijuana-induced Indica moniker enhance beauty of bold, full-bodied Californian. Bitter hop-fueled tongue-coating gets toasted barley influence, casual grapefruit rind blot, and sappy molasses undercurrent not usually indica-tive of spicy IPA style.

Chocolate-covered raisin aroma nice lead-in for spice-hopped sour prune prominence, secondary herbaceous floral bitterness, and mandarin orange tingle. Syrupy caramelized mocha malts sweeten chalky cocoa hints slipping through the cracks. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Terrific floral hop nose informs smoked spruce-cedar wood tones while sweet yeast persistence echoes through crystal-pale malt median. Citric pineapple, grapefruit, and orange pith add tangy backend. Dryly bitter rosewood finish retains alcoholic luster for well-balanced, full-bodied golden-orange IPA.

Sweet mocha and dry Scotch anoint slight spiced IPA, but piney bottom lacks propulsion and weak finish voids initial promise. Brewery defunct: 2007.

Bright red-orange fruiting overlays brawny piney hop bittering and variable cola-hazelnut whim up-front. Creamy malt center fortifies toasted cereal graining, sweet apple-apricot-tangerine tang, and residual light barleywine buoyancy.

Indelible amber-hazed IPA offers glistening bittersweet orange-lemon-apricot burst, exquisite deep-grained piney nut constancy, and fresh mineral water flow. Herbaceous floral hops brighten sweet toasted malt finish of momentous medium-bodied brew.

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.
