Confusingly confounding wordage regales modern art label of nickel-hued medium body. Pungent hop bittering gains resinous pine-needled mildness to satiate floral-bound dried fruiting. Honeyed fig and apricot undertones slither by teasing yellow grapefruit nip, settling softly at biscuity malt base.

Affable rust-hazed American pale ale with supposedly “significant amount” of caramel-toasted pale malts and dry Cascade hops could be mistaken for mild IPA thanks to brisk floral-perfumed citric nature and oily pine bittering. Bright grapefruit-peeled orange rind, lemon zest, pineapple and peach tang reaches ultra-dry finish.

Summery canned pale ale with sunny citric crisping and minor piney resin adding brisk India Pale Ale-like fruiting. Orange-peeled grapefruit rind bittering brightened by clementine, melon, grape and sugared spices as well as wafting floral nip. Caramel-malted white bread spine lightens overall tone.

Sessionable and well-rounded moderation thrusts illustrious honey fruited bouquet into mild grassy hop resin. Sweet peach, nectar, mango and mandarin orange vibrancy fades slowly as bitter lemon-seeded yellow grapefruit and pineapple briskness increases. Some musty cellar dankness disrupts its delicate crystalline flow.

Novel fruited summer ale brings juicy blood orange tang to citric Cascade hop spritz. Sweetly tangy and sourly tart tangerine-candied midst picks up burdening plastique astringency. Subsidiary mandarin orange, tangerine and clementine illusions reinforce blood orange theme fairly well.

Canned gluten-free misadventure. Millet-grained buckwheat parch picks up cloying candy syrup nature. Acrid hop astringency ruins murky cherry-berry off-tones.

Indelible canned medium body brings sunny grapefruit-orange tang and zesty lemon twist to clean-watered saltine cracker spine. Bright citric briskness scurries through grassy hop spicing, sugary dough starching, barley biscuit toasting and earthen floral nuances.  One of the best sessionable pale ales marketed.

Unconventional cider-honeyed pale ale brings compost-wafted earthiness to lemon-rotted green apple tartness and champagne-fizzled yellow grape esters. Burnt rubber off-taste brings unwanted astringency.

Signature amber-copper staple loads aggressive India Pale Ale-like hop bittering into piney tropical-fruited citrus crisping. Pineapple leads the way above zesty orange-peeled grapefruit rind luster and sugary caramel malting. Phenol dark floral spicing relegates tertiary mango, guava and passion fruit illusions. A step ahead of lighter, less flavorful pale ale peers.

Disappointingly overrated golden-hazed English pale ale with under-utilized New Zealand-bound Nelson Sauvin hop astringency feigns unspecific tropical fruiting (kiwi, grapefruit, passion fruit, papaya, guava, pineapple) as simple carbolic lemon spritz covers up bland stylistic moderation. Forget any intended Sauvignon Blanc white wining. Instead, its minor grassy hop spicing tingles the senses but leaves very few citric pleasantries.

On tap at 1249 Wine Bar, mainstream golden amber American pale ale from original 1757 presidential recipe stays thin. Light caramel toasting and soft-toned grassy hop astringency pick up neutral celery watering.

Crisp IPA-like citric fruiting and bitter piney hop resin boost dry medium-bodied delight past simple pale ale styling. Brisk yellow grapefruit-peeled orange rind tang lingers above sappy pine-needled prickle and sugary caramel malting. Zesty lemon snip and grassy herbal respite deepen fruitful conviction.
