Dry prickly hop spice infiltrates resinous fruited malts, puncturing brisk orange peel, grapefruit, white peach, and mango adjuncts to grain-nut spine. Clean finish allows white bread bottom to brighten minor piney nuance.

Original brew (now re-created worse by O'Hanlon's) tosses an aromatic chocolate liqueur punch into the creamy mocha center, where correlative fruitcake jab reaches temperate brandy finish. Sly hop bitterness picks up nutmeg-berry riptide, sprucing up the corners for unique pale ale with abundant character.

Soapy suds honoring Civil War hero Joshua Chamberlain fails to maintain honeyed citric splurge and toasted barleymalt follow-up. Bland hopping and blase' mocha murk sink thin metallic medium body.

Mildly piney-hopped apricot-pear-orange tingle gathers floral influence to serene sweet caramel malt finish.

Well-rounded golden red-bodied ale gathers lively fruited spruce essence, honeyed barley-oats abundance, and perfumed floral component, resembling red ale more than labeled pale ale style. Autumnal cinnamon-allspice backdrop increases sour orange rind bittering and cherry tartness as raw-hopped pine nut harshness intensifies.

Petty dry-toned translucent amber procures baked bread mouthfeel and toasted hopping for light-bodied creamy balm. Honeyed wheat and roasted barleymalts satiate sugary finish, though slightest phenol nature seeps through.

As plain as its name indicates, frugal ale rivals bland, unsophisticated lagers. Grains and hops come to the fore, but lack of distinguishing adjuncts or malt-like assertiveness keeps this stillborn.

Decent pint-bottled (or oil canned) copper-hazed pale ale retains moderate hop bitterness to mineral-grained finish. Watery consistency absorbs creamy caramel malting and sugared nut nuances. Could pass for brown ale in a heartbeat.

Interesting golden amber summer seasonal with dry rye signature maintains pleasant roasted grain sweetness, slick hop dryness, and mild caramel-nut creaminess. Tangerine tartness lingers but unresolved oats-toasted finish is suspect. Brewery defunct: 2007.

Wavering medium-bodied English Pale Ale punctuates dark mocha overtones, hop-roasted barleymalt backbone, and dry coffee-nut subtlety with creamy liqueur absorption. But watery texture and metallic nuisance squander subdued toffee finish most fuller-bodied British bitters maintain.

Pleasing lemony grapefruit easement lightly embitters grassy-hopped wheat husk, cardboard-y pale malt dryness, and mineral grained recess. But pasty texture and slight alcohol burn cloak apple skin snick and floral lick.

Stagnant clear copper dry body needs to deepen blanched grapefruit-peach bittering and tepid malt roasting 'cause woody Cascade hop astringency can't carry the load. Bark-like mouthfeel feels right but cardboard finish and acetous aftertaste deprive further goodness.
