Headily herbaceous chartreuse-hazed barnyard ale retains weedy citric pungency as black tea-like bittering ascends above lemon-rotted orange compote and soured grape esters. White-peppered sage-thyme seasoning and musty cellar-like Belgian yeast funk addle dry horse blanket parch.
Awesome well-balanced India Pale Ale with bright aromatic citric freshness gaining creamy crystal malting over wood lacquered floral hop bite and light ethanol burn. Resinous pine-needled bittering sinks into glistening pink grapefruit, pineapple, apricot and orange tropicalia as well as neutral celery-stalked furrow. Gets the nod over Kane’s superfine Heads High IPA.
Prominent full-bodied India Pale Ale blends bitter with the sweet quite effectively. Sweet candi-sugared caramel malt rush penetrates bountiful tropical fruit punch as brisk orange rind bittering drifts into pink grapefruit, red apple, nectarine, pineapple, melon, mango, cherry and peach tang, burying harsh alcohol burn. Maple-sapped spruce tones lacquer hop-oiled pine resin and musty floral snip.
Complex bourbon-barreled wheat wine delivers an interesting twist on an oak aged elixir. Lustrous bourbon theme soothes into caramelized butterscotch sweetness, where lovely Almondine-wined praline, pecan and macadamia nuttiness contrasts heady rum-spiced alcohol solvency. Oaken French coffee creaming, pina colada-like coconut milking and frozen banana daiquiri nip join the busy fray, outlasting fleeting brown-sugared cinnamon-gingerbread spicing. Chardonnay, cognac and brandy illusions deepen liquor-stained backend.
On tap at Morris Tap & Grill, dry yellow-hazed farmhouse ale brings tart green apple souring to lemony grapefruit bittering, vinous green grape pucker and wafting cinnamon toasting. Prickly peppered hop spicing works its way into gentle oats-flaked earthiness and musty horseblanket musk as herbal tea respite increases. Miniscule ginger, cardamom, grains of paradise, nutmeg, clove and anise reminders tingle serene quince theme. Lovers of Granny Smith apples should come aboard.
Harsh Scotch ale (with 8.5% alcohol) needs better distinction. Shrill hop-coarsened cherry-grape conflux seeps into honeyed Scotch malting, caramelized brown sugaring and chocolate-covered raisin smidgen as well as wavered whiskey whir. Sugared fig, purple grape, red cherry and black cherry tones receive syrupy maple molasses lick and minor coffee-stained snip, but gnarly alcohol burn scoffs compromised fruited plain.
On tap at Morris Tap & Grill, up-front coconut juicing regales toasted almond, praline and pecan riffs above sweet vanilla malting, but watery nature lowers flavor profile. Brown chocolate-y toffee, caramel and fudge illusions drift thorugh sharp hop spicing, but intimidating alcohol burn and coarse charred nuttiness overtake sugary yeast pleasantries by depleted finish.
