Croucher Brewing's October Ale is a captivating IPA that invites you to savor its depth of flavors. This amber-hued ale boasts an inviting aroma, blending caramel-roasted malt with spicy hops, and subtle notes of dried fruit, toffee, and earth. On the palate, a rich malty backbone provides a moderate sweetness, balanced by a subtle bitterness from the hops, which add delightful notes of grapefruit and pine. Hints of caramel, biscuit, and spice create a complex yet approachable taste, making this a well-rounded and integrated drinking experience. The clean, dry finish refreshes the palate, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. With its medium-bodied, smooth, and creamy mouthfeel, and moderate carbonation, October Ale is a delightful companion for autumn evenings or pairing with grilled meats and hearty dishes.
