An intense, freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice aroma with lemon and resin is the first thing that will greet your nose followed by moderate, honey-like grainy malt. Hidden underneath are light berry esters similar to strawberries.

Bengali’s huge mandarin, grapefruit and resinous aroma isn’t for the faint of heart. The medium-low caramel and grainy malt aid in providing a counterpoint for the hoppy yet clean aroma.

Sixpoint’s Sweet Action opens with a moderately-low lemon, piney hop aroma with faint hints of sweet caramel. Pithy fruit is also apparent. It’s a bit darker than most cream ales – coming in at more of a dark amber/light copper color with... Read More

This cleanly-lagered beer has upfront herbal, peppery hops with notes of bell pepper along with a very faint grainy malt aroma. Pretty to look at, the golden beer sits underneath a stand of white bubbles that’s fairly persistent but isn’t as... Read More

After swirling this attractive, opaque brown beer with a dark, thick, tan head in the glass, I'm hit with spicy chilies and green pepper aromas – other malt/hop aromas were masked by chili heat. As the beer warms, the aroma opens up to reveal... Read More

Bright aromas of mouthwatering orange cream ice cream, mimosas made with freshly squeezed oranges and little bits of pulp, and slices of Lady Alice apple esters immediately leap out of the glass.

Passion fruit juice with a low, warmed-up English muffin and homemade lemonade aromas pour forth from the glass. A low, pale ivory head hovers above a slightly hazy, bright, pale golden color.

This beer greets the drinker with a prominent and pleasant whiskey character backed up by cocoa powder, vanilla, mixed dark fruits and a spicy alcohol aroma. The whiskey fades down as it warms to create a very balanced aroma.

The beer pours a beautiful amber color with a strong orange hue with an off-white head that is long-lasting. It has a light haze that is appropriate for a Triple IPA.
