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.

ANCHOR STEAM HUMMING ALE

Celebrating sensational microbrewer’s milestone anniversary with bold hoppy pale ale, this voluptuous full body offers luxurious fruited sweetness, buttery caramel creaminess, and expansive floral potpourri. Lemony grapefruit-peeled apple-peach-pear tang usurps earthen herbage and grassy-hopped pining to cereal grained bottom. Crisp clean-fruited finish retains bright zest.

MIKKELLER ALL OTHERS PALE ALE

Rich rocky-headed copper-hazed full-bodied pale ale closer to complex IPA styling. Resinous wood-chipped pine-needled bittering spreads across spice-hopped citric tang. Pine-sapped maple and spruce lacquer tart grapefruit peel souring and floral jasmine-rosebud bouquet to flaked oats bottom. Orange zest, tangerine, apple and grape illusions surface alongside tropical melon, nectarine, pineapple, and mango fruiting. A true hophead’s delight.
