NEW BELGIUM OAKSPIRE ALE (FOUR ROSES)

Delicate bourbon barreled strong ale with subtle oak-charred Four Roses bourbon influence gaining dry peated whiskey surge, buttery Chardonnay wining, caramelized rye restraint, honeyed vanilla spicing and distant chestnut-almond swipe (as well as mild orange pith, brown pear and dried cherry snips). Maybe a tad tentative flavor-wise, yet smooth, easygoing, warm. A soft-toned limited edition (2025) 9.9% ABV brew.

TWIN ELEPHANT STASH WEST COAST STYLE PILSNER: CITRA TANGIER

Appreciable yellow grapefruit rind, pith and peel essence provides zestful entry for fulsomely fruitful West Coast IPA-inspired golden pilsner. Dry Citra-hopped orange peel, grapefruit and pineapple vibrancy meets Tangier-hopped tangerine, pink guava and passionfruit tartness for tropically aligned ‘Stash.’ Its floral-spiced candied citrus continuance picks up light vanilla creaming above saltine crackered pilsner malt base.
