BOULDER HOOPLA PALE ALE

Politely soft-tongued with light piney bittering reminiscent of IPA and perfect as crossover fodder. Easygoing lemon-dropped apple, peach, pear, tangerine, mango and grapefruit illusions pick up tingly marzipan sweetness plus minor grassy-hopped herbal-floral spiciness appending wood-dried fruited finish. Chamomile tea, caramelized rye, hop resin, celery, rhubarb and fennel illusions make cameos.

CUCAPA CHUPACABRAS PALE ALE

Atypical dark amber pale ale strays from typical light-bodied pilsner-lager Mexican fare. In fact, smoked chocolate malting, nut-roasted intrigue, and earthen hop-charred spicing don’t necessarily fit pale ale profile either. Caramel-burnt butterscotch, Belgian chocolate, and vanilla illusions deepen brown-sugared mocha base as citric-peeled orange souring, wavering marmalade flourish, and floral-spiced tingle gain foothold.

ROGUE CHATOE OREGASMIC ALE

Nearly superb brass-hued pale ale brings creamy cake-battered almond buttering and sweet marzipan confection to spicy fruited hop plain. Ancillary aricot, peach, pear, apple and white grapefruit illusions ripen above biscuit-y bottom. Not far removed from Rogue Dead Guy Ale, though softer butterscotch billowing and milder hop bitterness more approachable for softer palates.
