Off-balanced marzen lager lacks distinct flavor profile. Spicy dry-hopped murk and bland crystal-pale malting become overly astringent. Earthen grape mold sours citric-perfumed musk and nutty brown-breaded base.

WYNDRIDGE 10 POINT ALE
Basic dry-bodied ‘golden blonde ale’ with deeper cereal graining than floral-spiced citric hop bite. Doughy yeast informs biscuit-y barley base and light maize musk. Yellow-fruited phenols get relegated.
WHITE HAG BLACK BOAR IMPERIAL OATMEAL STOUT
On tap at One Mile House, delectable Imperial-styled oatmeal stout brings brown chocolate spicing and dark-roasted mocha malting to molasses-sugared oatmeal retreat. Sweet toffee midst aids chocolate-cocoa conflux as subsidiary black cherry, black licorice, vanilla, coconut and espresso notions add extra intrigue.
BARRIER REMBRANDT PORTER
On tap at Ambulance, creamy mocha profile pervades soft Guinness-like dark-roasted nuttiness (and mild wood-smoked singe). Rich oats-toasted dark chocolate theme picks up spiced pecan, molasses cookie and pureed raisin illusions to contrast light cocoa-dried walnut bittering.
BARRIER RED BUTTON IMPERIAL RED ALE
On tap at One Mile House, stylistically advanced medium body (with surprisingly mellow 8.8% ABV) layers expected citric-spiced caramel malting atop dry resinous hop bittering, sappy pine residue and light black chocolate nuttiness in somewhat unique fashion. At the finish, sweet red apple, navel orange, pineapple and peach tones contrast latent vegetal herbage.
THIRD RAIL BODEGA PALE ALE
On tap at One Mile House, softly creamed medium body brings exotic tropical fruiting to desiccated yellow wood astringency. Dry citra-hopped grapefruit and orange rind bittering gains zesty lemon twist while maintaining a crisply clean bite.
TRANSMITTER G2 GOLDEN ALE
On tap at One Mile House, trusty Belgian pale ale layers saison-like lemon souring and tangy orange-pineapple-mango-melon sweetness atop pilsner-malted oats sugaring. Subtle herbal-hopped bittering, light brettanomyces funk, salty white-peppered lemongrass twang and distant melon rind wisp contrast tropical fruit juicing.
FINBACK I FEEL THE UNIVERSE GOSE
On tap at One Mile House, salty lemon-limed souring and musty barnyard acridity overcrowd tropical passionfruit, mango, guava and kiwi illusions while diminished coriander spicing loses resilience above wilted white wheat spine of tepid gose.
YONKERS LAGER
Briskly clean copper-toned Vienna lager retains stylish richness thru mild spicy caramel malting and earthen Noble hop bittering. But its frisky carbolic fizz leaves some phenol astringency upon tangy orange-grapefruit respite while detaining honeyed biscuit sweetness.
OTHER HALF/ BUNKER BOOGIE BOARD STUNTZ KOLSCH
On tap at One Mile House, resilient Brooklyn-Portland East Coast collaborative kolsch brings summery saison-like sour fruiting to spicy white-peppered herbage. Salty lemon-peeled grapefruit bittering created by oats-dried Mosaic hops picks up light pilsner-grained crystal malt sugaring. At the finish, zesty citrus intrigue takes command.
ITHACA CRANBRETTY
On tap at One Mile House. Spreading lactic brettanomyces yeast all over its tart lemon-limed cranberry souring, mild summertime ‘wild ale’ picks up leathery barnyard funk as salty desiccation overruns barren cranberry juicing. Light green grape esters aid overall sourness.
TELEGRAPH FLOTSAM LAGER
On tap at One Mile House, crisp moderate-bodied pale lager offers delicate citric hop bittering to crystal malt sugaring. Spritzy carbolic spree perks up zesty orange-grapefruit tang, tart red apple scamper and mild spicing. Taste-wise: closer to a fruited pale ale.
