Soft-toned Vienna lager with buttery barley crisping and husked corn astringency picking up muted floral-daubed lemon twist but lacking expectant caramel nuttiness.

Category Archives: Beers A-Z
ICARUS FEATHERS IN THE GARDEN LAGER
Heavily oated lager (utilizing Saphir and Mandarina Bavaria hops) brings sour lemon-candied orange tartness and grapefruit seed bittering to musky compost funk, picking up lemongrass and chamomile illusions over dextrin floor-malted pilsner malting. Interestingly offbeat.
ALLAGASH LAGER
Classic American lager. Honeyed cereal grains sweeten spritzy lemon salting and peppery hop dryness, but pasty pilsner malts falter.
KILLS BORO BAD WOODS PILSNER
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, rustic pilsner-malted/ Noble-hopped German-styled pilsner pits lemon rot souring against pasty raw-honeyed grain musk. Dry ‘decoction mashed’ wild oats, barnyard hay and alfalfa mustiness well displayed for earthen moderation.
FIN CITY BAD LUCK CHOCOLATE BANANA PORTER
Sweet Banana Float pleasantry muted by dark chocolate syruping and bittersweet vanilla extract seeping thru musky dark-roast hop char. Creamy mocha continuance picks up subtle black cherry puree, burnt creme brulee and fried plantain illusions.
FIN CITY PITBOSS BROWN ALE
Perfumed burnt nuttiness seeps into dark-roast coffee and black chocolate merger. In the distance, caramelized dried fruiting, anise and blackcurrant illusions waver.
FIN CITY POOR MAN’S IPA
Dry orange rind and yellow grapefruit bittering stays sharp as musky pine lacquer lowers the boom and spicy floral herbage tingles the citric surface.
FIN CITY WHITE MARLIN PALE ALE
Utilizing West Coast IPA-related Centennial-Simcoe hops allows moderate lemony orange pith bittering to step out against less persistent peachy tangerine tang atop caramelized wheat malts.
FIN CITY BIMINI KEY BAHAMA-STYLE ALE
Dry “tropical summer sipper” stays serene as fizzy cologne-perfumed key lime salting, spritzy Meyer lemon sugaring and agave hint provide refreshingly crisp, clean, light-bodied entry for sessionable Caribbean easygoer.
DOGFISH HEAD CZECH-SPRESSO
Cold brewed espresso adjunct consumes dark Czech-styled lager upfront before mild coffee-roasted dark cocoa bittering picks up coarse hop astringency that confiscates latent burnt toasted remnant, dry rye spree and black licorice whim from kilned melanoidin malting.
DOGFISH HEAD MID-90’S RED ALE
Nostalgic copper-toned ’90s-styled microbrew retains crisp tobacco-roasted amber graining and candied yellow, orange and red fruiting as well as golden raisin smidge in dewy peat setting given mild hop astringency.
DOGFISH HEAD KOOOLSCH
Easygoing limited edition dry kolsch with zesty lemon spritz reaching crusty floor malted wheat breading as mild apple-orange spicing, latent floral herbage and grassy hop astringency await.
