Suarez Family Brewery

 

Same batch as Mickyge, Woodchipper pours slightly hazed amber with an earthy head. Aroma is earthy, orange rind, biscuit, feint sweet grapefruit. Taste follows with pine , soft citrus, ritz pepper cracker. Feels light, medium carbonation. It’s very good.

Porch bomb from a notorious mad porch bomber
Poured from a can dated canned 8/10/25 bb date of 12/22/26??
Cloudy golden yellow with a creamy white head
Aroma notes of bread/ crackers/ faint citrus
Taste is clean and crisp, lingering malt ish notes and slight citrus rind finish
Mouthfeel is refreshing medium to high carbonation almost Pilsner like feel, easy to drink
Overall it’s a nice smooth ale that drinks like a Pilsner or a largered beer

Gifted from another BA, delivered cold, kept cold until severed. Poured to a Nonic from the 16oz stamped “CANNED ON 08.20.25 DRINK BY 12.22.26”. Not a typo by me, but maybe it is by them. Seems like a long shelf life for an APA.
The body is amber bordering orange, far from opaque but not clear. I would say SRM 8 or 9. The aroma is surprisingly bready with a citrus background.
The taste is definitely piney with notes of citrus and flowers. The malt does come through this with bread and a super subtle roasted affect.
Mouthfeel is light and carbonation is over medium.
This is a very good APA, even at 3-months old.

Murky golden body with a cream colored head. Big citrus and with pineapple and peach tones from the hops, cracker, pale malts and yeast supporting. Taste is more ipa like with such fruity hops, the rest of the taste with the pale malt and grain kissed yeast give the pale finish shadow to the hop dominance. Light and crisp, not the cleanest or palest, again brighter and even somewhat juicier for the style

Tall can, with canning and best before dating stamped on the bottom....this can is sadly about a month past its BB date of 3-8-23.

Pour hazed and a welcoming shade of lighter squash soup, light and fine cap, leaves a fine film and scattered sheeting. Nice looking pale ale.

Bready and crackery sniff.

Pleasing brew with more malty goodness, balanced with some mellow citric hop notes.

Went great with a spicy chicken taco.

Worthy brew, that is well worth a try

 

 

 

 

 

A bit cloudy, but certainly not a hazy beer. Nose is equal parts German lager and pale ale with light grains and straw along with nice (but light) hops. Flavor is similarly clean and crisp. Whether intended or not, it is very much a hybrid...almost leaning more towards a German lager with American hops played over. Very, very crushable. However, overpriced for what it is. I'd buy this all the time if the price came down.

 

Can from the brewery in Livingston NY. Pours a mostly opaque semi cloudy orange gold with two fingers of rocky white head, nice lacing, smell is dank orange peel, tangerine, cut grass, light wheat bread malts, taste follows the nose with orange and tangerine flesh, zest, and bready/wheat malts, hints of honey, feel is light, crisp, mild carbonic bite, fairly dry. A nice clean and citrusy pale ale.

16oz. can into a Brooklyn Brewery snifter.

Fantastic frothy head. Nose is citrus, pineapple, clementine, and grass. Aromatic. Beer opens with hints of lychee, citrus, grapefruit, and starfruit. So fresh and subtle but somehow super juicy. A light tartness in the middle gives hints of orange and bread. End is more grapefruit, some pineapple, and a light mintiness. Excellent. Super clean aftertaste. Body is light with ample carbonation. Prickly and lively on the palate and goes down clean with very little aftertaste.

This is undescribably drinkable.

Casually bought it in a local grocery store wanting to try something new. Really nice and solid pale ale. Nice aroma and hops to it. Not overly bitter. Really drinkable.

Pours a semi clear golden color, yet looks slightly opaque in the glass. A minimal and quickly disapatong head leaves a ring of lacing.

The nose opens with bright citrusy hops, including lemon, lime and grapefruit. This is followed by notes of candied and resiny fruit including peach, pineapple, lychee and berries. Semi dank herbal aromas of grass, pine and peppery spices. Damn good aroma overall.

The taste opens with clean and crisp cracker malts and moderately sweet bready malts. Well hopped with fruity flavors of grapefruit, lemon, lychee, peach and pineapple. Delicately yet assertively spiced with notes of gentle pine, grass and a clean bitterness. The palate is dry overall, as is the finish.

Light bodied, arguably on the low side of medium. It is gently carbonated with a soft and smooth mouthfeel.

Sublimely crafted and delicately balanced. Its simplicity is what makes it such a beautiful beer.

 

16 oz can into a Willi belcher.

Pours a hazy straw color with a finger of white head. Solid retention and lacing.

The aroma is tropical with some more subtle citrusy notes. Pineapple and honeydew melon dominate, followed by some grapefruit. Nice cracker malt character.

Flavor is more citrus forward. Lots of grapefruit and lemon peel, with some notes of melon and fresh pineapple. The cracker malt provides a wonderful, dry backbone.

The feel is medium-light bodied with pretty good carbonation. Crisp, clean, and immensely drinkable.

Overall, yet another great little pale ale from Suarez. It's everything you expect from the style, wonderfully balanced with huge flavors crammed into a 4.5% crusher.
