Problematic canned American Pale Ale places nasty diacetyl overtones and tinny astringency above faltering sugared malts, distant orange-grapefruit tang, and musty pecan diffidence.

Steady hop-fizzed pale malting brings muted cereal-grained mocha-fruited sweetness. Latent chocolate wisp concealed. Eventually brewed by Leinenkugel’s (a.k.a. Special Ale).

Smooth, easy, yet ultimately strong golden ale blends simple ingredients exquisitely. Bright spiced fruits, sweet floral yeast, and wily honeyed wheat build to carbolic champagne-like effervescence. Differs only slightly from most stylishly similar Belgian ales due to its lack of dry white wine tingle. Try it with fish.

Bitter-hopped fresh hay persistence and concurring earthy wheat husk embody translucent dry-bodied ale. Grassy mouthfeel complements tea leaf midst, leathery bottom, and rye malt aftertaste.

“Naturally Brewed” pale-bodied Thai with aromatic sour malt pungency tucking candied caramel sweetness below fizz-hopped water flow, reaching purgatory by light pilsener-like finish.

Seemingly improved in its better 2015 version,  pasty sorghum-whey graining picks up cocoa-dried toffee influence and dewy cellar-like dankness without getting peculiar. On less impressive first passing (2008), advertised hazelnut, chocolate, and coffee influence compromised by phenolic herbal hop-charred bittering and off-putting cooked vegetable spell of auburn dry body. Native Aussie wattle seed fuses mineral-grained nicety to quaint barley roast, sour white grape tartness, red apple skin nuance, and dry rye-tobacco evasion, but weak mocha finish impedes.

Piney resin coats deep fruited grapefruit-lemon rind spritz and sweet grain graze as jaunty hop bite pervades.

Roasted barley-oats overlay piney spruce eruption, dried orange souring, and tingly hop spicing informing tautly expressive medium body. Toasted caramel malts and honeyed yeast add further sweetness.

Dark auburn-hued flowery-scented ale in fancy bottle retains typical French wine essence. Creamy caramel-malted apricot-mango tropicalia, brisk orange zest, and cider-y barleywine symmetry receive exuberant carbolic gush rounded out by prune-raisin balm and herbal touch.

Mellow flowing pale ale conveys buttery caramel-malted cracked wheat tranquility as floral hop spicing increases fruity sourness, finishing mildly bitter.

Smoky turbidity, dry rye breading, and crystalline malting provide up-front allure to double fermented butterscotch-scented ale. Smoothly textured melange of floral citrus, sweet honey, clove, and mint adjuncts lead to prune finish buttery enough to attract American pilsner fans ready for a spicy change-up.

Enjoyable fruit insistence guides classic auburn-bodied pale ale. Clear Colorado water provides serene crispness, capturing just a tinge of hop bitterness by simple nut-grain finish.
