Alluring ‘Extreme’ ale with emboldened 80 IBU hop measurement, viscous saffron body, and thick yeast sediment perfect for bitter hopheads. Herbaceous floral fruiting fronts wood-chipped grapefruit-peeled orange rind bitterness and sufficient hop-oiled juniper berry bite to candi-sugared caramel malt base. Tropical pineapple, nectarine, apricot, guava and tangerine tang counters ascending alcohol-burnt piney brashness.

Like a pleasant Sunday morning stroll through the park, this mild ale retains a lively fresh-aired feel. Conspicuous dry-whiskeyed brown chocolate entry eases into soft-grained nutty bitterness. Honeyed malt barb and dry wood-toned tobacco tinge hoist serene Scotch finish. Compares favorably to Morland Old Speckled Hen.

Sophisticated tan-headed Band-aid-wafted brown ale consumed by cascading carbolic bubbles, consistent coffee-stained sourness, and roasted barley malting. Dark floral hop bitterness enhances buttery berry tartness to dried prune finish for regal Brit delicacy deserving attention.

Hand-drawn cask-conditioned version quaffed at Manhattan watering hole d.b.a.’s retained elegant billowy-headed effervescence and frothy mocha malt creaminess. Nutty grain splurge supercedes orange marmalade delicacy and earthen floral sedation, gathering terse citric hop bittering along the way.

Subtle malt aroma, flaked barley mouthfeel, and brown-sugared citrus easement softer and less effective than most ESB’s experienced. Yet sweet molasses creaminess caresses muted dry hop persistence affirmatively.

Gentle light-headed pale-bodied ‘bitter’ ale with Band-Aid nose, delectable mineral water smoothness, and mild cherry recess contrasting subtle dry-hopped malted grain sweetness of medium strength bottle-conditioned alternative to brewers’ traditional ESB. But specificity lacks for this lean Euro.

Doughy aromatic yeast, gently dissipating hops and sedate mineral-watered smoothness mollify sweet Scotch malting. Less obtrusive than most stronger, finer English ales. Inoffensive enough to be recommended to amateurs.

Ice tea-colored canned draught retains resiliently thick cumulous head, creating a swirled thicket that leaves oodles of foamy Brussels lace on glass walls. Caramelized citrus aroma hits first, then creamy textural elegance defers nuttiness and coffee depth of Guinness for a lighter lager alternative securing spoiled orange souring, tea-like urging, and mocha reminder.

Sharpshooter Calamity Jane pictured on label of cascade-hopped smoothie also known as Uncle Sam’s Bitter. Easing whiskey malt opening briskly enjoins sweet and sour yeast resonation, but astringent bitterness depletes some moderate-bodied character.

On tap, expressive amber-glowed Bitter integrates heavily-hopped yellow-fruited souring with lingering nutty malt pleasantry as taut mocha presence increases for rounded unfiltered pleasantry.

Musty black currant simmer and moldy orange souring confront root vegetable earthiness, peaceably relegating dank cellar-fungi waft. Herbal touch softens yeast-y butterscotch-toffee muck. Bitter? Nah.

Root beer-hued bitter propels smoked barley-oats and buttery almond congruity above shrewd spice-fruited taffy undercurrent. Pleasant caramelized Scotch malts enliven fully-formed sinewy prune finish. Softer palates will not be turned off.
