On tap at Ambulance, eye-squinting amber-coppered sour ale boosts oaken cherry tartness above cider-like balsamic vinegaring and lemon-juiced green grape esters. Syrupy Italian Amarena cherries bring bitter acidity to the fore while light caramel malting offers distant sweetness.

SLOOP GALAXY FARM DRY-HOPPED FARMHOUSE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, captivating herb-spiced citric souring and gluey saffron sweetness provide unique flavor profile for peachy Galaxy-hopped saison. Lightly lacquered orange marmalade twist and sugary millet-floured malting backup tart yellow grapefruit, orange and pineapple setting.
KENT FALLS FARMERS TABLE DRY-HOPPED BEER
On tap at Ambulance, sessionable summertime saison with low alcohol volume and mild hop bittering plies lemony grapefruit souring to light pepper-spiced herbage. Dry barnyard hay acridity back-ends modest light-bodied farmhouse ale.
UPRIGHT SIX
Busily complex ‘dark rye saison’ hybrid plies dried fruiting to molasses rye breading, mild peppery hop bittering and light peat-smoked malts. Sugared fig, plum and raisin spicing gains tart cherry smidge. Subtle tobacco-leafed crisping, clean mineral graining and scorched earth dirtiness backup marvelously schizoid farmhouse ale.
MAINE A TINY BEAUTIFUL SOMETHING ALE
On tap at Ambulance, highfalutin pale ale retains dry-bodied citrus zing above French-breaded flaked oats spine. Soft-toned El Dorado hop tropicalia picks up mild barnyard astringency to counter candied orange tartness and zesty lemon-limed grapefruit juicing. Tertiary pineapple, yellow grape, mango and tangerine tang reinforces fruity nature of silken smoothie.
ABITA OCTOBERFEST
Off-balanced marzen lager lacks distinct flavor profile. Spicy dry-hopped murk and bland crystal-pale malting become overly astringent. Earthen grape mold sours citric-perfumed musk and nutty brown-breaded base.
WYNDRIDGE 10 POINT ALE
Basic dry-bodied ‘golden blonde ale’ with deeper cereal graining than floral-spiced citric hop bite. Doughy yeast informs biscuit-y barley base and light maize musk. Yellow-fruited phenols get relegated.
