On tap at Orlando’s House Of Beer, exotic light body never lives up to zesty citric-soured expectations. Delicate mandarin ‘yuzu’ fruiting fails at providing sufficient lemony grapefruit-like tartness for highly acidic lactobacillus influence of German-styled Berliner weiss. Stylistic salty coriander adjunct fades to oblivion against pale wheat malt setting, overtaken by lightly sulfuric brettanomyces souring.
On tap at Orlando’s House Of Beer, fine dry-hopped moderation regales zesty citric affluence with parched bark acridity and light herbal spicing. Raspy yellow grapefruit bittering overrides ancillary mandarin orange, pineapple, mango, guava and passion fruit tartness for sublime sweet ‘n sour scheme.
On tap at Orlando’s House Of Beer, delicate eggshell-creamed Extra Special Bitter provides dewy earthiness, silken minerality and reedy-hopped herbage for soft nitro-like setting. Glass-sugared red apple glaze fades into the ether alongside wispy floral bouquet.
Richly robust mocha porter delivers dark-roasted malts to aggressive hop-charred bittering. Creamy black chocolate frontage enhances vanilla-beaned coffee bittering. Tar-like molasses gunk deepens ancillary dark cocoa, burnt walnut and piney citrus acridity.
Wondrous piney-hopped citrus fruiting brings lovely IPA-like setting to rich mocha-smoked malting. Brisk grapefruit-peeled orange-tangerine-pineapple tang and ancillary peach-pear-apple-cherry-berry conflux reach honeyed wheat spine while nut-charred respite underscores frantic fructose sweetness. A well-balanced medium-bodied red ale crossover for hardened hop heads to try.
On tap at FishBones in Orlando, enjoyable honeyed citric spicing overlays cake-battered caramel malting. Lemony orange, grapefruit, apple and peach tones fade slowly into barley biscuit backdrop. Appealing middle-of-the-road fodder with just enough body and character.
Murkily off-the-beaten-track oats-flaked stout desiccated by sour coffee musk and ashen charcoal tarring. Shrill dark chocolate chalking inundates soy-soured cherry snip and ascending port-bourbon wining. Weird green olive pungency jilts dirty mocha finish.
Bland moderation with polite grassy hop astringency and wavering lemony grapefruit-orange zest picks up sharp salty spicing. Honeyed cereal malt backdrop stays slick.
Brewed by Thomas Creek for Inlet, musty-fruited moderation utilizes candi-sugared Belgian yeast for underwhelming and ill-defined singel-amber merger. Murky prune-dried banana bruise and estery grape-stemmed white wining reach tart midst. Moldy fruit rotted core desiccates negligible spiced nuttiness.
Slick lactose-sugared imperial stout hybrid (bottled by Thomas Creek) blends grain-roasted mocha into pomegranate-juiced dried fruiting. Dark chocolate, burnt caramel, day-old coffee, espresso and black licorice illusions gain molasses-like sinew. Tertiary blackberry, black cherry, red plum, prune and raspberry tartness magnified by sour pomegranate adjunct.
“Surreptitiously clean” light-bodied wheat ale (2013) tastes like blueberry pie. Sweet ‘n sour blueberry tartness rides above wispy honeyed wheat base. Tertiary white peach, boysenberry and cranberry snips flutter by. On tap at Backyard Ale House – Scranton, tarter blueberry essence of 2024 version slipped into brisk lemon drift as phenol spicing fizzled.
“Mammoth” dry-hopped IPA stays balanced while never getting too bitter. Grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering picks up resinous pine sap to contrast tropical mango-papaya-peach-pineapple-tangerine tang and sweet floral-spiced respite. Toasted hops infiltrate biscuity bottom by brisk citrus finish.
