Australian for beer, mates! In 25.4-ounce oilcan (where it tastes best), this fairly distinct hop-roasted mineral-grained corn-sugared moderation soothes to delicately sweet malt finish. Prickly carbolic briskness ensues. Rates a full star lower in 12-ounce bottle.

FRANZISKANER CLUB-WEISS KRISTALKLAR
Silken alpine-watered moderation brings white-peppered hop spicing and rewarding floral-clove embrace to lemon-soured banana tartness, storming past bubbly champagne-like carbonation. A promising light-bodied pale-yellowed German wheat beer for summer session.
(MCAUSLAN) FRONTENAC EXTRA SPECIAL PALE ALE
Easy, unassuming, light-bodied pale ale with pungent alcohol aroma, grain-tingling pep, and tinny hop finish. Closer in character to refined pilsners with its maintained head, fizzy retention, and moderate bitter flow.
FULL SAIL PILSNER
Perky spice-hopped summertime pilsner with sharp orange-peeled clove-ginger persuasion gliding above pleasant wheat essence. Moderate citric-embittered finish retains floral backdrop.
(BATH ALES) GEM
Bottle conditioned tan-headed amber brings rye-dried honeyed malt coalition to unripe fruited souring. Spicy Saaz hops fortify delicate bittersweet chocolate endurance.
GLUEK GOLDEN PILSNER
Fair yellow-cleared bohemian-styled pilsner barely overcomes disturbing cabbage waft, spoiled fruit souring, and corn-dried diacetyl mouthfeel. Cloying soda-like tongue tease and mellow hop fizz reach watery finish, nixing mellow bitterness.
(GOLDEN VALLEY) TANNEN BOMB
Subdued English-styled winter warmer trickles earthen red grape-cherry parchedness into wood-dried Chinook-Fuggle hops. Aloft cocoa malts, sour fig-date finish picks up slim apricot-banana tingle. Marginal twig-leaf tandem fills out thin tobacco backdrop.
GORDON BIERSCH MARZEN
Slender mild-bodied red ale pits roasted chestnut glaze and sweet barley-oats base against discrete dry-hopped prop. Grain influence subsides quickly to subtle roasted nut finish. Serve to softhearted pilsner fans and lazy lagerheads.
GREAT DIVIDE BEE STING HONEY GOLDEN ALE
Ill-defined ruddy-clouded moderation balances bittersweet honey tartness with lackluster sourdough dryness. Poor, undeveloped finish lacks honey essence to set it apart and earn its moniker.
GREAT DIVIDE WILD RASPBERRY ALE
Pungent raspberry-candied tartness and sugary malt frosting provoke moderately embittered blueberry-cranberry-cherry sourness of light-bodied rosy-hued summer slacker. Dubious grass-hay suggestion thins out prickly hop infusion, cracked wheat backbone, and subversive fermented raspberry finish. Musty malts turn acidic, sabotaging sparse fruity sourness.
GREEN FLASH DOUBLE STOUT
Smooth midnight black Imperial Stout with hefty 8.7% alcohol boozing stays rich and creamy. Hop-charred toasted oats reinforce roasted coffee bean bitterness, thickening black chocolate subsidy and tertiary cola-hazelnut-walnut conflux. Raw molasses, cocoa, and black licorice illusions deepen complexity.
(MCAUSLAN) GRIFFON ROUSSE
Thin honey-toned red ale languishes through mild phosphate delineation before blanched crystal malt sweetness, roasted barley crisping and floral piquancy lamentably block walnut-dried black cherry adjunct.
