Reddish-amber and lightly hazy in the glass, capped by a robust head of beige foam, this "red IPA" from Carson's opens up with a huge aromatic profile. Look for a very fragrant potpourri-like floral-spice character from this GABF Bronze medal winner, along with notes of pine, touches of both red and black licorice, and hints of citrus zest. On the palate, there's a strong backbone of caramel and toast, with some fruity esters thrown in for....

Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
Hops: Challenger
Malts: Pale Ale, Caramel 60L, Chocolate

Mt. Carmel's Coffee Brown is a collaboration with Cincinnati's Deeper Roots Coffee, a local roaster whose coffee is infused into this brown ale – to great effect, we might add. Pouring an attractive reddish-brown mahogany color, it offers up a bold aroma profile centered on big roasted coffee notes, with additional touches of dark chocolate and scorched toast. The aroma predicts the flavor well; there are bold impressions of iced coffee and...

Country: United States

Pouring a deep amber color with a beige cap of foam and some light haze, as expected for a wheat beer, Red Dawn offers up an inviting aroma profile with lots of bready and toasty wheat notes and light touches of caramel. Look also for soft floral overtones joined by hints of citrus zest and berry-like character, with some intriguing notes of herbal spice and aromatic wood. We found this brew beautifully balanced on the palate, with a touch...

Serving Temperature: 42-47° F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
Hops: Cascade
Malts: Pilsner
Country: United States

Presenting a lightly hazy golden blonde color, Hibiscus Blue (as it's known for short) offers quite the intriguing aroma profile as it rests in the glass. Blueberry notes are prominent, augmented by supporting floral notes, while a good dose of crackery pils malt underpins it all. On the palate we all found this unusual blonde ale both delicious and refreshing. Like in the aroma, blueberry notes are prominent but not overpowering, and we really...

This IPA of the dead presents a beautiful rich cooper color with crystal clarity and a big head of fluffy foam that laces nicely. On the nose, look for a complex aroma with lots of subtle touches including citrus and pine, floral notes, a little woodiness, and some toffee and caramel malt character. It's much the same in the flavor department, which delivers a big core of caramel and toffee with secondary bready notes. The hop profile is full...

Presenting a perfectly clear, deep amber hue with a cap of beige foam, this brew delivers an inviting malty aroma that drew us in. Look for prominent caramel and bread crust notes, joined by some light, floral hop tones with dashes of mild spice. Flavorwise, this amber ale hits upfront with a bold and broad toasty center, along with prominent caramel character, a hint of toffee, some flashes of fruity esters, and a dash of coffee-like tannins.

Country: United States

Carson's Demonik Double IPA presents a bright copper color in the glass, capped by a moderate head of beige foam. On the nose, look for a complex tapestry of sliced oranges & mandarins, floral & tropical fruit notes, some pine character, hints of apple and pear, and an undercurrent of mild caramel. In the flavor department, this brew certainly announces itself as a double IPA right off the bat. We got big, zesty grapefruit notes with juicy...

Malts: Special Pale, White Wheat, Pauls Mild, C40
Country: United States

Golden-amber and with some light haze like most wheat beers, Eville looks pretty darn good resting in the glass, adorned by a dense cap of persistent foam. On the nose, look for big, juicy notes of citrus, tropical fruits, and stone fruits, along with flashes of pine, a soft floral quality, and undertones of light breadiness. On the palate, this is one very hoppy wheat beer, full of exuberant hop character. We picked up big grassy and floral...

Look for luscious fruity citrus notes melded with soft floral tones, pineapple and other tropical notes, touches of pine, some herbal grassiness, and wisps of berry and white pepper. On the palate, this brew delivers beautiful hop expression, as a mixture of...

Logsdon’s Rakau Boy is being made exclusively for The Rare Beer Club, and the only places folks will have a chance to get this are through the club or at the brewery’s tasting room, as they’ll have a small amount available for their supportive locals. Rakau Boy is best described as a non-traditional, Belgian-style witbier—first fermented with Logsdon’s blend of witbier yeasts, but dry-hopped with Rakau hops and refermented with the brewery’s...
