A handful of styles across their range — a shared thread has to hold across each of them.

How they compare
Each beer measured against others of its own style, then averaged across the range. Compared with 260 other breweries making American Pale Ale.
Three beers is enough for a first read, not a full house style — one unusual beer moves this a lot.

Across 4 beers in 3 style families, none of Rubiu's characters carry through the whole range — the mix of styles they brew is the signature here.
