Nearly all of the IPAs in the market today are American-style, with huge expressions of a wide range of different hops in the aroma and flavor of the brew.

When you feel that first nip of fall in the air you know that Pumpkin Ale time is right around the corner! Post Road Pumpkin Ale is a mild brew in most all respects, yet exemplifies the style quite well.

Shiner Bock pours brilliantly clear and amber in color. Despite ample carbonation, its ivory head is fleeting. The aroma in general is low with faint toasted malt, whispers of caramel, and an apple ester. Hops are completely absent. The bready ... Read More

Southbound Brewing Company's Hop’lin IPA is a very well-crafted, balanced IPA that delivers the goods. This slightly hazy golden-colored brew with a solid lacy head has an absolutely fantastic aroma.

Southbound Brewing Company's Scattered Sun delivers many of the basics that you’d expect in a Wit, but with a few issues. This expectedly cloudy golden-colored brew has an appealing tart aroma and cereal notes along with evident coriander and... Read More

The aroma of this Tripel aged in oak bourbon barrels is subdued overall, containing a gentle mix of peppery phenols, light banana, and oak. This beer pours a hazy deep gold with a tall, creamy white head that lasts and lasts, leaving some fine ... Read More

Starting with a nice aroma of hazelnuts and cocoa nibs, this dark had little to no carbonation, foam or head retention. Malty sweetness of roasted malts, chocolate, hazelnuts, and hops blended well together along with a hint of lactose that gave... Read More

A nice straw color that was cloudy, hazy and unfiltered – all positive attributes pertaining to this style. I detected hints of honey and a mild sweetness in the aroma. Head retention for this beer was nil, as it quickly dissipated.

A classic style that almost every brewery makes. The aroma was very hoppy, with floral and citrusy notes indicating the presence of Cascade hops. The beer had a nice light straw color that was a bit hazy. Head retention and carbonation was low.... Read More

The aroma was very hoppy with citrus and floral notes, but I didn’t detect any rye in the nose. The beer had a nice light yellow color with low foam, low head retention and low carbonation. Though categorized as a Rye IPA, I could not detect any... Read More

This American IPA released a resiny, citrus hop aroma upon initial pour. Very fruity, but without any one identifiable fruit dominating the aromatics. Ethanol at appropriate levels delivered a warming to the nose.

Specialty beers like this aren't brewed to fit into any particular style, though they may riff on one. This example, aged in bourbon barrels, certainly takes the Dark Strong Ale category up a notch. Oak and vanilla aromas are dominant, backed up... Read More
