Mild raw-honeyed maize dryness and fizzy lemon spurt reach grassy hop herbage.

DEPARTED SOLES LIEVITA BLONDE ALE
On tap at Paragon, peculiar aluminum-cleared sourdough-fermented blonde ale supplants lemony Cascade-Citra hop zesting with floured sugar powdering and slumbering banana daquiri sweetness as ‘acidic farmhouse funk’ levels off atop glutenous oated wheat crusting. Serve with pizza.
MOMAC BERKLEY BLUEBERRY PALE WHEAT ALE

YOUNG VETERANS PINEAPPLE GRENADE

NEW REALM BEACH BOUNTY LIME LAGER
Dryly sessionable summertime lager lets clean Kviek Lutra lager yeast and mild pilsner malting soften its sublimely citric Sabro-hopped lime puree tartness, mildly salted lemon candied spritz and musky nectar-like agave cologned perfuming. But lemony Pine-Sol finish may be too offbeat.

ALESMITH SPEEDWAY STOUT – MOSTRA COFFEE + COCO
Decadent Speedway variant with creamy black chocolate-sugared coffee roast gains unadvertised vanilla bourbon resonance that’s way more resilient than its toasted coconut adjunct. Luxuriant dark cocoa bittering then rises above the surface to enhance rich cappuccino, espresso and latte tones plus dry bourbon-burgundy wining embittered by hop-charred raw molasses sludge.
BENNY BOURBON BARREL CHOCOLATE STOUT
Rich and supple yet crisply clean watered, barrel-aged stout allows cocoa nibs persistence to inundate burgundy-dried bourbon influence as hop-charred astringency stays recessive. At the finish, dark chocolate syruping glazes pureed black cherry snips and mild cola nuttiness.
