Satiable clear auburn ale with pleasant malt-roasted brown chocolate overtones and brittle banana wisp goes down smooth. Though fizzy carbonation nearly overwhelms, polite caramel notes fill out earthen grain backdrop, retaining only some up-front thickness. Down Under brew will ease amateurs and captivate veteran drinkers.

FISCHER D’ALSACE LA BELLE STRASBOURGEOISE
(GREAT GRAINS) TEXAS TORNADO PALE ALE
Timid twister with musty copper penny turbidity addled by dirty water bunk, tardy hop funk, and burnt metal clunk. Slim orange souring grimly concealed. Brewery defunct: 2005.
HORNPOUT PALE ALE
(EUMUNDI) LAGUNA BAY PALE ALE
Polite rust-hued Aussie pale ale combines mild roasted malt sweetness and demure dry hop bitterness with dark fruit pungency for refreshing summer sentiment. Water crispness and delicate carbonation imbibe light-grained lager-like finish.

(SHIPYARD) VIRGIN ISLANDS PALE ALE
Crafted by Shipyard from Virgin Island’s St. John Brewery recipe. Jolly Rancher watermelon waft follows through to up-front flavoring, countering astringent wheat-husked yellow-fruited bittering. Hard-candied mango-strawberry tartness stays refreshingly summery at midst, but washed-out fuzzy peach, cantaloupe, and kiwi nuances get soapy.
