Staid Belgian blonde never catches fire as candi-sugared banana-clove sweetness fades as fast as its negligible orange-spiced piquancy and soured lemon snag. Mild herbal hop astringency contrasts wispy wheat wafer sweetness.

SLY FOX ALEX’S LEMON WHEAT
On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, cheap lemonade sugaring rises above barren white wheat base. Light lemon-limed carbolic spritz picks up herbal snip. An unrealized soda-like summertime beverage.
BOSQUE LAGER
Superbly expressive light lager keeps it simple. Utilizing a soft German pilsner malt base, its sunshiny lemon zest and juicy grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering suit a feathery IPA. And its fuzzy carbolic fluff provides the lightest creaming imaginable. Subtle grassy hop bittering contrasts crackery white breading.
TRACTOR 2018 BOURBON BARREL AGED LUNA DE LOS MUERTOS IMPERIAL STOUT
Moderate bourbon-aged Imperial Stout (circa 2018) lets tart black cherry-bruised sherry, port and burgundy wining softly whisk away mild black chocolate/ vanilla combo. Delicate whiskey tones absorb winey provocation as well as dank grape-raisin-apricot musk and dank earthen bottom.
RUSTY RAIL WOLF KING WARRIOR STOUT
On tap at River Of Beer, dry medium-full body invites dapper Costa Rican dark-roast coffee bittering to the fore above earthen walnut-dried molasses oats base – recalling, at times, an Irish Stout with its black-malted dark chocolate malting. Â Â
SCHLAFLY KENTUCKY MULE
Mimicking a lime-juiced Kentucky mule cocktail from its sweet bourbon serenity to its ginger-leafed vodka smear and agave-teased tequila whim. Fresh-squeezed lime juicing stays pertinent while cologne-perfumed bourbon aging fades. An exquisite golden ale-based elixir from one of America’s best experimental brewers.
PINELANDS BLUEBERRY BLONDE ALE
On tap at River Of Beer, local blueberries provide loud sweet-tart resonance over honeyed wheat base. Blueberry puree insistence picks up dainty peach liqueur and apple cobbler illusions for further sweetening against mild hop astringency.
CARTON KAFFEE UND KUCHEN IMPERIAL CREAM ALE
On tap at River Of Beer, fabulous milk-sugared coffee breakfast treat re-envisions celebrated Regular Coffee Cream Ale. Almond-pasted marzipan sweetens the load way more than unspecific cherry adjunct, delightfully embellishing German chocolate-caked cappuccino, caramel latte and vanilla latte illusions. Hard to distinguish from original, but truly a taste sensation for creamed coffee imbibers.
CARTON DUNE FRUIT
On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, easygoing Berliner Weiss relies on stylishly salted lactobacillus souring to embrace subtle prickly pear cactus influence. Mild lime-soured melon, passionfruit, raspberry and oaken cherry tartness freshened up by cucumber watering. Tannic white grape splurge and zesty lemon snip stay recessive.
PLATFORM BUCKET OF GLOVES IPA
On tap at River Of Beer, super-hazed hybridized New England-styled India Pale Ale given Belgian farmhouse yeast that allows tart lemon-peeled spicing and dank earthen rusticity of a saison to spike orange peel sweetness and grapefruit rind bittering of an IPA. Candied pineapple, sugary lemonade and tangy tangerine dangle below next to wavering grassy-hopped astringency and pale wheat malting.
KCBC GREENWOOD PARK G TO THE L IPA
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, brisk orange-peeled lemon zest brightens spice-hopped quip, mild pine needling and delicate pale malts for sessionable moderation.
