Bright garnet amber ale with luscious pomegranate juice poising protracted lemony hop bitterness above dried fruit midst. Grain-toasted fig-date-pecan admix, subtle peach-apricot tang, tethered raspberry-cranberry tartness, and latent orange rind snip add subtle complexity to sugared almond-praline finish.

Harshly acrid Japanese-named ‘Hanami’ forfeits advertised cherry juice souring to extremely parched lemon juice tartness. But unlike, say, a fine dry Lambic, fizzy Seltzer-like hops diminish subsidiary unripe white grape, green apple, cranberry, and pomegranate dapple as well as frail wheat spine. Grassy herbal-floral illusions killed off by muddled oak-dried citric acidity.

Buoyant pineapple ale with surprising red hue retains spicy citric tartness embellished by sinewy yeast. Tertiary berry, melon and quince illusionsadd t0 fruit cocktail essence. Neither overbearing in its peculiarity nor too drab, but in need of fully-formed original identity. Serve with lemon wedge prior to summer. Brewery defunct: 2003.

Polite sweet-tart raspberry effervescence and sour blueberry follow-up endorse fruity ale. But lackluster cereal grains impede tertiary white grape, peach, cranberry, and blackberry illusions.

Uneven pinkish amber-hued dry malt-y mead (a vintage fermented beverage with wine-like characteristics) preserves bitterly unripe raspberry-blueberry-cherry theme, tart white grape skin mouthfeel, and soured green apple-cranberry squint. Tucked beneath quiet 9% alcohol deluge lies raw honeyed wisp, burly acidity, and black currant hint.

Beautifully mellow pinkish white-headed golden dry body nicely constricts black currant bitterness succinctly soaked up by cranberry apple tartness, unripe peach serenity, and citric rosebud tinge. Honey wheat backdrop flawlessly underscores oncoming bittersweet blueberry finish further soured by ester-y champagne tingle.

Serene hazy maize glowed wheat ale with tart cranberry juicing finds bittersweet blueberry sanctuary to catapult lemony seltzer-like fizz and spiced apple-peach-tangerine tang. Soft melon essence informs easy flowing finish where slight acidity beckons.
