Waveringly eccentric straw-cleared herbal-spiced hybrid ale (circa 2011) spreads honeyed lavender pedals across syrupy citric tang and wafting floral potpourri. Tangerine, grapefruit, and orange pick up grassy-hopped heather, hibiscus, and sage dusting. Stiff alcohol solvency will chase away softies.

Blunt Danish-styled Christmas-seasoned spice ale with viscous rust hue and creamy texture in stark contrast to blanched phenol flavor profile. Coarse prune-fig souring, dry burgundy whir, and green raisin snip get metallic. Sooty wood-smoked dampness undoes any traditional cinnamon-nutmeg spicing.

Wavering spiced ale may boast kola nut, poppy seed, and guarana herbage, but these under-whelming elements barely register. Instead, brown-sugared chocolate malting, red grapefruit tang, orange-tangerine juicing, and floral hop spicing integrate with tertiary tea, hemp, and pine forest illusions. Barley-roasted heather honey sweetness validates citric malting. Nowhere near as innovative and enigmatic as label claims.

Sunny citrus-scented pale-bodied hop-fizzed mediocrity with sour lemon drop theme hems negligible wheat influence into limpid acidic finish. Shifty orange-dried tartness cedes mere honey postscript.

Superfine winter warmer celebrates holiday season with endless character. Served best cold, local apple cider provides bittersweet template. Loud cinnamon-nutmeg-clove spices tingle tongue as sweet candied apple thrust brightens red cherry-cranberry souring. Sugar plum, fig, and date engage baked apple backdrop. When served warm, acidic alcohol intensity and funky apple liqueur tartness overwhelm dissipating cinnamon-toasted spicing dramatically.

Splendid multi-dimensional beer matured in sake casks saddles anticipatory rice wine aspect with earthen grape, stewed prune, sun-dried fig, and vinous cider souring. Reminiscent of dry oak-aged plum-wined Chardonnay at a distance, its glutinous wheat influence soon beckons heady whiskey finish, where distilled sake strengthens alcoholic punch.

Sinewy yeast clumps speckle dry oak-aged(?) indulgence. Musty flowery yeast sweetness turns to sour candy as damp earthiness recedes corky gueuze-like tannic tartness. Moldy peach, tangy nectarine, sour apple, and white grape esters confront pasty plantain illusion as lemony hops secure peppery hibiscus smidgen.

Dried-out orange palate, creamy caramel malt follow-up, and puissant carbolic fizz provide fine opening for herbal red ale. Ginseng nearly lost in vanilla extract, honey maple, and citrus adjuncts. Slide this in next to Hempen and Aviator ales. Brewery defunct: 2001.

Aromatic aftershave lotioning, peppery hop nose, and blue agave-spiced eucalyptus tongue climax with mint-y freshness. Initial peculiarities give way after a few sips, leaving an excessively cloy ginger-sugared finish. Pour slowly to correctly balance agave with sharp tequila twist.

Serene golden ale with cocoa and spices inspired by ancient Aztec drink, Xocolati, counters curry-smoked black pepper mandate with mild mocha. Red ale-like fruited sweetness fortifies floral backdrop and vanilla-cinnamon trickle to cardboard-y chocolate malt finish. A lighter alternative to Rogue’s Chipotle Ale?

Thin bronze-hazed spice ale contrasts candi-sugared balm against mild mustard seed bitterness. Lively lemon-bruised souring seeps into fresh cut-grassed barnyard hay earthiness. Vinous mouth-puckering grape tartness curtails coriander seasoning. A bit watery for unique dry-bodied offshoot.

Sassy golden-glowed ‘spicy buckwheat beer’ with tan yeast particles and high viscosity generates early hop-infused coriander bittering for off-dry orange-lemon punch. Lively unripe tangerine-peach souring gains prominence as mint tingle surfaces, adding zesty elegance.
