Sessionable hot summer night canned ale maintains herbal hop-forward aggressiveness and pallid citric niche. Rye-dried back end needs deeper penetration.

(MOTHER EARTH) SECOND WIND PALE ALE
Easygoing sessionable canned pale ale with pungent pale malting, soured citrus fruiting and spritzy carbolic luster stays refreshingly light-bodied. Grassy-hopped vegetal spell allows crisp celery, fennel and carrot nuances to sidle subtle herbaceous nip.
(OLDE HICKORY) PEABODY’S APPALACHIAN ALE
Bland pale ale from muddled ’78 recipe by Carolina Beer Company revived as sessionable summertime light body. Toasted white breading, soft hop spicing and resinous earthiness never fully integrate while lemony dried apricot fruiting evaporates on contact.
UINTA WYLD EXTRA PALE ALE
Light, refreshing and unassuming canned pale ale with organic dry-hopped barley malting and resinous earthen wood enveloping misty lemony grapefruit and orange zest. Herbal respite softens bittersweet citrus tones.
O’CONNOR NORFOLK CANYON PALE ALE
Full-on medium body maintains rounded mouthfeel and hearty stylistic appeal. Perfumed herbal hops and sugary crystal malts affect zesty citrus spicing. Mild grapefruit bittering, tangy orange marmalade sweetness and dried fig souring reach toasted rye wheat spine. Rigid alcohol burn will scare softer thirsts. On tap, tangy grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering enjoins light piney hop-charred herbage over biscuity malts.
SOUTHERN TIER LIVE
Regal white-headed golden-hazed pale ale reinforces brisk grapefruit peel bittering with pungently assertive pine tarring to delicate white-breaded spine. Zesty lemon, tangerine, clementine, pineapple, papaya and mango tropicalia finds space below everlasting yellow grapefruit theme. Frisky carbolic pep heightens floral-spiced citric finish of excellent summertime fare.
ELYSIAN SUPERFUZZ BLOOD ORANGE PALE
Perfectly sessionable chartreuse-hazed summertime moderation benefits wholly from zesty blood orange peel theme. Fuzzy cream head allows eclair-like crystal malting to contrast oncoming grapefruit seed bittering. Distant tangerine, navel orange, nectarine and mango illusions solidify brisk citric tang. But this one’s firmly entrenched in authenticated blood orange tartness, sourness and sweetness.
FURTHERMORE KNOT STOCK
Daringly hybridized “most particular” pale ale delicately balances herbs, spices, fruits and grains. Cracked black pepper stimulates lovely pink peppercorn, green tea, lemongrass, sage, mint, basil leaf and pine nut undertones while surprisingly taking a backseat to honeyed rye malts. Slithering lemon, orange, grapefruit and pineapple juiciness sweetens mild maple molasses murk. Evergreen, fern and dark floral nuances add depth.
RED HOOK AUDIBLE ALE
Silken soft-toned sessionable fodder not far removed from lighter English-styled Extra Special Bitter with its buttery eggshell froth, peated pale malt fungi and honeyed lemon tea nuance. Mild grassy hop dusting and wispy earthen florality affect toasted white bread spine.
3 GUYS & A BEER’D CARBOND’ALIEN
Audaciously soured pale ale loads fig-dried date and plum serenity atop tart lemon-pitted acridity for perfectly askew stylistic rendition best served to seasoned sour ale suckers. Spritzy lemon zest adds misty freshness.
KUKA AMERICAN PALE ALE
Smooth fresh-watered crisping contrasts earthen nut-grained musk and pungent hop-oiled bittering. Orange-dried grapefruit peel rasp brings citric spritz to nutbread-like maca root influence. Could almost pass as an English Special Bitter.
UNION CRAFT DUCKPIN PALE ALE
Well-done flagship beer perfect for hopheads despite lighter pale ale affiliation. Boisterous tongue-coating IPA-like piney fruiting spreads across alcohol-burnt juniper sharpness and earthen hop resin. Grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering lavishes zesty lemon, orange and peach undertones.
