Vapid pale-yellowed moderation downgrades mainstream Canadian version. Astringent hop acridity, thin white-breaded base, and soapy pale-malted nut spicing deprive brief spun-sugared sweetness. Nifty citric-rotted lemon-limed spritz needs brighter up-front flavor profile.

Basic moderate-bodied session beer perhaps closer to easygoing toasted lager than fruitful pale ale. Jaunty cereal-grained almond, pecan, and marzipan conflux drapes citric-dried lemon zest tingle. Mild orange-tangerine tang envelops roasted caramel malting. Phenol hop fizzing underscores doughy salted pretzel buttering.

Refreshingly straightforward moderate body brings crisp-watered hop-spiced citric intrigue and affable crystal-caramel malting to buttered baguette base. Initial grapefruit peel bittering tails off to misty red apple, peach, and pear sweetness. Unquestionably a fine middle-of-the-road session beer that holds its own against better known fare.

Atypical dark amber pale ale strays from typical light-bodied pilsner-lager Mexican fare. In fact, smoked chocolate malting, nut-roasted intrigue, and earthen hop-charred spicing don’t necessarily fit pale ale profile either. Caramel-burnt butterscotch, Belgian chocolate, and vanilla illusions deepen brown-sugared mocha base as citric-peeled orange souring, wavering marmalade flourish, and floral-spiced tingle gain foothold.

Nearly superb brass-hued pale ale brings creamy cake-battered almond buttering and sweet marzipan confection to spicy fruited hop plain. Ancillary aricot, peach, pear, apple and white grapefruit illusions ripen above biscuit-y bottom. Not far removed from Rogue Dead Guy Ale, though softer butterscotch billowing and milder hop bitterness more approachable for softer palates.

Bright citric nosing and dark-spiced crystal malting front-end tepid rye-breaded English-styled dry body. Flat earthen vegetal nature wearily downgrades dulled-out nuttiness and phenol hop-blotched pungency further.

Inoffensive amber lager stays mild. Scotch-licked orange-spiced barley malting overrides astringent hop flop. Metallic shard interferes with smooth nature.

Annual copper-hued medium-bodied autumnal ‘100 Barrel Series’ brew never obscenely bitter despite ‘wet hop’ tag. Dank fruit-soured entry alleviated by sweet-grained rye-breaded barley roast. Dry-hopped lemon pit acridity hinders cherry-dried plum-fig-date paucity, tannic grape wining, and caraway-seeded rosemary-thyme influence. Dark floral nuances come and go abruptly.

Celebrating sensational microbrewer’s milestone anniversary with bold hoppy pale ale, this voluptuous full body offers luxurious fruited sweetness, buttery caramel creaminess, and expansive floral potpourri. Lemony grapefruit-peeled apple-peach-pear tang usurps earthen herbage and grassy-hopped pining to cereal grained bottom. Crisp clean-fruited finish retains bright zest.

Affable golden-hued English pale ale brewed with honey retains advertised ‘mellow rounded character.’ Sweet honeycomb frontage, creamy butterscotch malting, and floral-spiced hop mediation buttress snippy peach-apple fruiting but buttery astringency overwhelms creamed corn finish.

Amiable amber-hazed medium-bodied delight is reminiscent of Rogue Dead Guy Ale. Hop-spiced tingle affects marzipan, almond paste, and toasted caramel sweetness to raw-honeyed butterscotch finish. Bruised orange and pureed cherry illusions waver.

Rich rocky-headed copper-hazed full-bodied pale ale closer to complex IPA styling. Resinous wood-chipped pine-needled bittering spreads across spice-hopped citric tang. Pine-sapped maple and spruce lacquer tart grapefruit peel souring and floral jasmine-rosebud bouquet to flaked oats bottom. Orange zest, tangerine, apple and grape illusions surface alongside tropical melon, nectarine, pineapple, and mango fruiting. A true hophead’s delight.
