Aromatic red fruiting, fresh cut wheat dryness, and soured toffee malting re-enforce toasted hop-grained bitterness for fine translucent amber ale closer to mild E.S.B. or herbal IPA. Red grape-pink grapefruit twang and rosewood-dandelion-sunflower accents crowd pine-oak finish.

Butterscotch frontage, calm mocha serenity, and ashy wood tones lather spice-hopped pale ale. Heavy yeast particles in viscous rust setting add mid-palate honeyed depth to oncoming tangy orange bitterness and floral-herbal assist. Compares favorably to finer California microbrews.

Organic bitter hop prominence and bright citric-floral stead enhanced by toasted barley-oats register to frisky off-dry grain finish. Closer to a milder, fizzier Extra Special Bitter.

Weirdly interesting amber-hued farmhouse ale with pink pigged label reveals unexpected herbaceous character anchoring grapefruit rind dryness and wood-smoked bacon ambience. Subtle juniper, currant, ginger, and floral notes weave through mint-y interlude. But nondescript finish flounders alongside dissipated carbonation.

Honeyed maple sweetness usurps resinous hop-roasted dryness, bread-y grain thrust, and bland lemon-grapefruit acidity. Rye malts and toasted almond fend off tinny scuff.

Dry woody hops and earthen grains fortify dehydrated fruited souring. Ruby red grapefruit tang, puckered lemon peel tartness, and yellow apple continuance form moderate frontage as chamomile tea, basil, and cannabis illusions fill recess.

Droll puffy white-headed pale body must be poured slowly since high carbonation overwhelms. Inconsequential phenolic warble squanders lemony hop spritz lost amongst dim banana-pineapple conflux bedecking slick wheat backbone.  

Frothy amber-hazed ale with conspicuous sugary malts, sharp hops, and acrid alcohol pungency goes down easy. Watery texture has crisp frisk of Canadian ales, but squandered grains meander and weak caramel finish lacks creaminess. '09 re-tasting: dark spice-hopped mildness, dry orange tartness and slight grapefruit bittering overcome cider-soured acidity.

Organic mineral grain persistence, sweet crystal malt flow, and subtle orange peel bitterness muted by parched floral finish. Delicately casual fruitiness cannot push extremely thin brew over the top.

Raisin-wafted prune trouncing and oncoming honeyed barleywine warmth define creamy malt-imbued butterscotch-hued ale. Off-dry hop finish allows mandarin orange souring, lemon peel tartness, and leathery floral retention to seep in.

Amber-yellow Belgian-styled pale ale bursts forth with carbolic champagne fizz overwhelming mild grapefruit-teased lemon rind sourness. Yeast specks dot deep-grained medium body, enhancing black currant, black tea, and black licorice astringency. Extra dry finish picks up lemon-parched orange-elderberry acridity, suffocating its placid grain base. Casual drinkers will dismiss acute bitterness.

Light-bodied golden ale lacks tangible nose, but retains sweet wheat-cracked barley biscuit signature, soft water foundation, and nutty caramel malt lining. Off-dry woody hops dissapate tangy orange snippet.
