Commemorating hilarious Monty Python movie, dry honeysuckled Brit (with clinging Brussels lace) matches thick caramel sweetness to light floral-hopped citric spicing. Abiding wood-smoked tinge, reminiscent of an India Pale Ale, endures to mildly bitter mineral-grained vegetal finish, but soapy aftertaste lowers vitality.

Swell barley-toned pale ale with buttery malt pleasantry, candy-coated chocolate elegance, and mild prune undertones. Exquisite crystalline water suits moderate-bodied softie worthy of pilsner or lager crossover.

Rewarding rocky-headed bottle-conditioned ale pours off-white before revealing hazy bleached yellow hue. Spritzy Saaz-hopped signature picks up wheat biscuit exertion as dried banana, tangerine, apricot, grapefruit, and lemon fruiting enlighten sour-candied honeyed clove finish, revealing latent grassy herbal mint nuance.

Thin clear amber moderation brandishes meagerly Scotch-licked rye-wheat malting, tingly lemon-bruised grapefruit bittering, brief sourdough cameo, and trifling French vanilla dip to acidic chemical-like compost finish. Rough juniper-like alcohol burn will displease softer palates.

Slightly better than Dundee’s Amber, this translucent auburn pale ale retains sour-fruited dryness and sharp clove-hopped frolic above cracked wheat spine. Unripe white peach, lemon, and grape tartness overtaken by sweet tea-leafed tobacco dalliance, but oily nature and phenol acidity decrease credibility.

Dry-hopped toasted barley complements cocoa malt sweetness in similar successful fashion perfected by East Coast brewers such as Ybor, Weeping Radish, and Blue Point. But sugary water finish weakens and dilutes “Extra” pale boast.

Easy drinking hop-fueled pale ale with crisp water flow and casual barley-oats finish tastes more like strong premium pilsner, remaining weightier than lesser-grained Coors.

Sampled in smaller 12-ounce bottles, all Ipswich ales lose some rich malt-extracted excellence. Nevertheless, in half-gallon jugs, they truly kick ass! Resembling a fine brown ale with its cloudy copper-bronze body, this ‘Original’ ale’s initial cured yeast sinew provides floral bouquet that fills nostrils, then absorbs tongue. Creamy mocha, ripened prune, dark honey, and unobtrusive butterscotch give buttery-textured, frisky-hopped bitter a husky malt-draped finish. Earthen dry bark slink randomly detected.

Initially labeled ‘Frostbite Pale Ale,’ crisp IPA gains luster as it pours. Floral-hopped red-fruited sweetness coats woodsy cedar-spruce-pine veneer and charred grain spine of coppery ale, gaining loud currant bitterness by creamy maple malt finish. Faraway apricot-tangerine-grapefruit delusion diminishes slightly over course.

Wonderful aromatic malt sweetness, dry pumpernickel-rye breading, and juicy pink grapefruit tang drape organic mineral-grained infusion. Prickly Cascade hop fizz gains assertiveness. Nothing complicated or fancy, just a subtly rewarding medium body.

Bottled version brewed by top shelf Old Dominion wraps toasted barley around bright tangerine-apricot-grapefruit ripeness, piney resin, and brief floral nuance. Anchored by pleasant spruce hop bitterness and mocha malt efficiency, this hazy straw-hued medium body finishes with a resplendent butterscotch-almond linkage.

Taut English-styled ale maintains well-balanced integrity as toasted grains and muted hops reach out to cocoa nuttiness in subtly soured orange-apple recess. Dry tea vagary at declining finish slacks off.
