Mild, yet complex, hybridized schwarzbier brings modestly lingering strawberry affectations to smooth black chocolate creaming, dried cocoa supplement and honeyed wheat spine. Fresh wild strawberries sweeten tertiary raspberry-blackberry-blueberry-boysenberry tartness. At mocha-sugared strawberry finish, Devil’s food cake, strawberry shortcake and fudgy strawberry brownie illusions come alive.
Bittersweet orange-peeled coriander lilt picks up sugar-spiced banana ripeness, zesty lemon lime tingle and tangy peach-pineapple-mango-tangerine niche to contrast sour yellow grape esters. Light white-peppered mint-leafed herbage and distant hay-strawed astringency provide dry side to sassy summertime spritzer.
Refreshingly ginger-spiced moderation (in a can) works sweet ‘n’ sour honey into mild hop bittering and herbal restraint. Dry ginger influence gains momentum over zesty lemon prickle and lemon rot spoilage. Minty fern, rosemary and lemongrass illusions add recessive pleasure.
Mild amber lager in a can stays crisp and clean as brisk honey-spiced lemon spritz, delicate mineral graining and herbal hop nip recede at light bread-crusted spine.
Sessionable canned moderation lacks fortitude as light honey-spiced lemon twist evaporates above bready wheat spine. Crisp and clean, yet ultimately forgettable.
Pungent Czech-styled pils brings raw-grained barnyard rusticity and sharp Saaz-hopped bittering to the fore as musky lemon rot souring increases over buttered biscuit malt base. Tertiary lemongrass herbage and minor straw grass acridity waver. Clean mineral water crisping battles back astringent ethyl alcohol burn. A must-have for heartier pilsner thirsts.
Dissipating molasses-sapped burnt caramel sweetness knocked back by less effective soy-sauced stale coffee sourness. Reminiscent of an oilier-hopped Baltic porter (with mild mocha-smoked black malting), though murkier flavor-wise. Too bad its constricted chocolate-milked Yoo-Hoo sugaring stays far below the dreaded mocha souring.
Slick contract-brewed (by Genesee) moderate-medium body scatters caramelized-spiced lemon, grapefruit, mango and peach tang above lingering acidic bittering that brings harsh solvency to desolate citric finish.
On tap at Ambulance, adventurously hybridized India Pale Ale (given heavy metal-related moniker) provides salt-licked yellow fruited pungency to its hard wood surface. Clean well-watered minerality and briskly carbolic hop prickle sharpen bruised lemon souring as well as tidy Golden Delicious apple scruff. Lightly spiced tart citrus finish picks up clean-watered celery nip.
On tap at Ambulance, mild brettanomyces bacteria given juicy-hopped tropical fruiting and subtle raw-honeyed lemongrass herbage. Sedate lemony orange tang picks up tertiary mango, guava, papaya, grapefruit and lychee illusions over leathery barnyard acridity. Another delightful soft-toned moderation by organic farmhouse brewer.
On tap at Ambulance, “modest” dry-hopped gose plies ultra-sour lemony peach-orange-gooseberry tartness and acidic lip-smacking white grape vinegaring to mineral-grained brininess. A true ‘marriage of sour and hoppy’ thru organic ingredients.
