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.

FULL TILT BALTIMORE PALE ALE
On tap at Max’s, fruitful dry-bodied flagship beer offers mild India Pale Ale-like pine-needled orange peel bittering to floral grapefruit, apple, peach, pear and mango illusions. Pleasant caramel-toasted barley malt base sweetens the backend.
PORT JEFF SCHOONER PALE ALE
Easygoing sessionable moderation, based on an ancient English pale ale (and given an Americanized Citra hop zest), relies on crisp crystal malt-sugared floral hop spicing. Lemony yellow grapefruit, apple, peach and pear illusions stay soft above grassy vegetal easement.

LONG IRELAND PALE ALE
Feisty copper-glazed pale ale, nearly as rich as its viscous hue, indirectly approximates an Irish ale with dewy peat malts spread across light pumpernickel rye breading and resinous piney hops. Fig-dried grape souring and dessicated grapefruit bittering coat the earthen bottom.

LONG IRELAND WET-HOPPED PALE ALE
Lighter, less complex and more approachable than brewers’ Pale Ale. Mild green hop bittering politely embitters nebulous citric splash to frail white breaded backdrop. Fresh-cut grass waft seeps into delicate floral background.

SWEETWATER 420 EXTRA PALE ALE
‘Stimulating’ Extra Pale Ale celebrates West Coast Kind Bud with its piney cannibis-oiled hop resin and refreshingly bright citric waft. Mild wood-toned grapefruit peel bittering contrasts floral orange, tangerine, peach and mango tang as well as creamy crystal malts to baguette backdrop. Incredibly sessionable.
