KROMBACHER WEIZEN
Sassy lemon spritz sparkles alongside stylish banana-clove-bubblegum sweetness, tangy orange snag and brisk white-peppered mineral graining above straw-dried white wheat backbone.
GOLDEN ROAD TART MANGO CART WHEAT ALE
If you believe Blue Moon Mango Wheat’s sugar-fruited tropicalia and honeyed wheat base are too damn sweet or nearly cloy, then try this pleasantly tart alternative. Kinda like a spritzy mango seltzer, its zesty lemon spurt, sticky watermelon sweetness, easygoing mandarin orange kick and delicate floral-spiced snips balance both the sweet and dry sides.
GOLDEN ROAD MELON CART WATERMELON WHEAT ALE
Utilizing dried watermelon and honeydew rind to reduce its mild cantaloupe sweetness, above-average moderation will please some fruit ale fans. Lemony carbolic spritz blitzes candied melon tartness at the musty midst, leaving dewy cantaloupe ripeness alongside salted watermelon remnants right above the moldy wheat base.
GOLDEN ROAD PALISADES PINEAPPLE WHEAT ALE
Tart pineapple spritz and juicy apricot sweetness define syrupy soda-like wheat ale. Summery candied pineapple tartness lingers over bready wheat malting. Sugary fruitiness may seem cloy to some.
BLUE POINT BEACH PLUM GOSE
Plum-juiced German-styled gose adds salty seaweed to lightly vinous lemon liming. Tart plum pucker retains calmly acidic sourness. Kettle-soured sea salting integrates fairly well with guava-tinged plum caking.
LEFT HAND BLACKCURRANT CREAM ALE – NITRO
Mild nitrogenated blackcurrant adjunct brings subtle souring to pink-headed magenta-bodied cream ale. Tart gooseberry, passionfruit and boysenberry illusions delicately affect blackcurrant tannins above earthen maize-dried lager yeast base.
GOOSE ISLAND KELLER MARZEN
“Classic cold-cellared German lager” brewed in collaboration with Spaten Brauerei stays crisply clean as doughy yeast enticement brings biscuity breading to light lemon-rotted musk, musty peat earthiness and leafy hop astringency. Spritzy carbolic pep awakens the tongue.
SINGLECUT INEXPLICABLY USED UMLAUT OKTOBERFEST
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, dry cold-conditioned autumnal moderation brings a tannic quality to the usual marzen-styled seasonal. Desiccated fig spicing upends lager-kilned toffee sedation. Tertiary wattle seed, cocoa powder and chestnut remnants found below the mild surface.
FLYING FISH OKTOBERFISH 2018
Well-balanced autumnal offering laces spritzy cinnamon-spiced caramel malting with leafy hop foliage and wispy pecan nuttiness over mildly earthen bottom. Easygoing seasonal fare for the masses.
SIERRA NEVADA / WEIHENSTEPHAN OKTOBERFEST 2018
Fairly distinguished collaboration with masterful German brewery stays crisply clean as balanced blend of sweetly caramelized Vienna malts, leafy Sterling hop foliage and wet-papered autumnal spices leave rounded mouthfeel.
HIJINX VERANO BLONDE ALE
Lively blonde moderation brewed with lime and orange zest bursts forth with citric resilience. Limey orange-peeled grapefruit pith bite receives light piney hop bittering and dry pale malting. Brisk, clean, citrus-forward delight outdoes its usually nebulous stylistic competitors.
