Enjoyable fruit insistence guides classic auburn-bodied pale ale. Clear Colorado water provides serene crispness, capturing just a tinge of hop bitterness by simple nut-grain finish.

Chewy caramel-mocha frontage saturates marshmallow-vanilla middle to toasted barley backbone, though minor astringency at sour yellow-fruited finish lowers appeal by a hair.

Fruity wine essence, lively hop presence, and sticky yeast sweetness contain dissipating berry tang before sourdough bitterness collars smoky ash finish. Tart orange peel backdrop further refines well crafted easy-drinkin’ ale. Brewery defunct: 2002.

Unbalanced barnyard-wafted clear straw pale ale haplessly overrides butterscotch malt sweetness with acidic sour orange pucker. Flawed cracked wheat base falters and tart pineapple reminder remains diffident.

Aromatic grapefruit-peeled green apple mildness coerces dry floral-hopped citric souring of softly flowed diacetyl-ridden pale body. Tart lemon, apricot, blood orange and white grape illusions secure ginger-snapped wheat-backed tether, pine needle residue, and earthen fresh cut grass remnant.

Fine full-fruited golden-reddish medium body combines fresh mineral water with sweet citrus and berries. Backup support provided by punctual grains. Brewery defunct: 2005.

Spice-hopped orange peel bitterness positioned above buttery caramel malts. Soft-flowing moderate body climaxes with bright citric finish.

Zesty orange-peeled grapefruit rind bittering invades nose then sour lemon-bruised tongue. Bark-wooded pine nuts further embitter hop-headed delight.

Dried lemon vapidity, tinny hop tepidity, and warbled phenol flow disrupt cereal-grained toasting. Wafts of barnyard hay produce alfalfa, maize, and wild oat illusions.

Problematic canned American Pale Ale places nasty diacetyl overtones and tinny astringency above faltering sugared malts, distant orange-grapefruit tang, and musty pecan diffidence.

Steady hop-fizzed pale malting brings muted cereal-grained mocha-fruited sweetness. Latent chocolate wisp concealed. Eventually brewed by Leinenkugel’s (a.k.a. Special Ale).

Smooth, easy, yet ultimately strong golden ale blends simple ingredients exquisitely. Bright spiced fruits, sweet floral yeast, and wily honeyed wheat build to carbolic champagne-like effervescence. Differs only slightly from most stylishly similar Belgian ales due to its lack of dry white wine tingle. Try it with fish.
