Bittersweet fruited malt surge acquires floral-hopped bouquet juxtaposing nutty bottom. Raspy blueberry-raspberry sweetness anchors off-dry medium body. On second passing, sharp orange-peeled lemon rind zest punctuates whiskey-soaked wheat husk, leaving spritzy mandarin orange aftertaste.

Boring Irish-styled pale ale with skunky malt aroma, crisp hop flow and unassuming dry-fruited finish. Neither bitter nor sweet, just an average ale lost in the middle of the pack.

Interesting blonde-hazed white-headed dry-grained pilsner-styled India Pale Ale uses old fashion country hops to embitter roasted barleymalt sweetness, setting firm foundation. Despite undefined sour fruiting, muted nuttiness, and soapy finish, compares favorably to Labatt’s ales (or similar mountain-watered Canadian refreshments).

Dry tea and pine tips inform embittered Fuggle-hopped medium-bodied pale ale, countering toasted malt linger at pleasingly soft finish.

Advertised Cascade hop spicing embitters burnt cedar, hickory, and pecan for opening salvo of sticky chocolate malt-soaked medium body. Subsequent dirty grain earthiness and orange peel sourness counter candied berry sweetness. Brewery defunct: 2007.

Medium-bodied dry-hopped citric-fruited template gains soft pine wood tone and lemony orange-peeled grapefruit prod to conquer oncoming caramel caress.

Canned golden-hued medium body with brisk bittersweet grapefruit entry given an increasingly mouth-prickling sunny lemon tang. Pleasant floral-piney hops provide backdrop and thin white-breaded reminder befits clean watery texture.

Label’s kickin’ mule welcomes fine unassuming 6% alcohol brew as assured fruited spicing and persistent malted hop dryness reminiscent of holiday ale styling. Smooth honeyed flow welcomes amateur consumption.

Luxurious honeyed malts and resinous citric-floral hops hit the tongue running and sharp carbolic fizz never overwhelms amber-clouded off-dry ale. Musty wet grass earthiness conceals soapy finish after pleasant sugared grapefruit-apricot sweetness and temperate almond nuttiness pay dividends.

Ordinary amber-hued pale ale may put off gourmet drunks with its funky vegetal dry-hopped listlessness and burnt toast malting. Besides, diacetyl astringency conceals soft nuttiness and orange souring at earthen herbal bottom.

Cordial candied malt sweetness overlays crisp spruced hop bitterness, but dark citrus undertones unable to overcome stark grain frivolity of hazy amber light body.

Clean watered pale amber maintains vegetative nose, but spiced hop doze and dull mocha malt woes deaden impact. Tinny finish disrupts ester-y fruit hind and dry barley bind.
