Herbal tea whiff welcomes lemony peach tang of turbid butterscotch-hued Belgian. Wispy peppered hop fizz embitters imminent grapefruit-peeled orange rind tartness as dry raisin finish picks up acidic grape esters.
PONY EXPRESS TORNADO RED ALE
A fruity bonanza! Red apple whiff greets loud tangerine-peach ripeness, raspy orange sourness and bitter grapefruit tang. Sweet malts thicken raw honey bed as dry wheat chaff undercurrent tucks away cherry, nut, and grape illusions.
POLAR LAGER
Sedate cereal-grained maize-floured moderate body layers peppy hop fizz over glutinous wheat sweetness as light skunk waft persists. Narrow pilsner-like template gets watery and washed-out so drink ’em from smaller 8-ounce bottles.
(BROK) POLANDER LAGER
Fragrant maize sweetness, wheat-chaffed oats dryness, and grassy-hopped frayed edge define straw-hazed pale lager. Slight yeast sinew shields quaint bittersweet lemon-grapefruit rush.
POINT LAGER
Classic macrobrewed bottled-canned beer saturated Wisconsin and Illinois market during the Seventies. Brassy barleycorn and lackadaisical dry hops encounter nasty citrus funk before unripe peach fizz halfway redeems it. Tinny cerel-grained cornmeal finish gets slushy. Still betters Coors, Bud, and Miller.
POINT CASCADE PALE ALE
Dry prickly hop spice infiltrates resinous fruited malts, puncturing brisk orange peel, grapefruit, white peach, and mango adjuncts to grain-nut spine. Clean finish allows white bread bottom to brighten minor piney nuance.
POINT AMBER CLASSIC LAGER
Gentle Cascade hop vibrancy lingers through roasted caramel malt pleasantry and faint fruitiness, appealing to mainstream tastes as well as slumming critics. 2010 re-tasting: Phenol vegetal astringency reduces chocolate-cocoa influence and wavering orange-dried apple-candied cherry tartness.
POCONO PALE ALE
Toasted almond aroma welcomes otherwise passive corn sugared middleweight. Pale malt sweetness counters polite hop backing, bitter citrus siding and piney tinge before hasty dry finish slips into minor acidity.
POCONO LAGER
Coppery amber complexion much deeper and darker than chintzy washed-out moderate-bodied fizzy predilection. Barren barley roast and toasted nuttiness dissipate by soapy citric finish, leaving nary a trace of chalky malted hop dryness.
POCONO CARAMEL PORTER
Splendid ebony-hued maroon-sidled porter integrates burnt caramel creaminess and black chocolate thickness with cedar-sweetened raw maple usurpation. Sour coffee midst backs up against moldy orange souring to raspberry puree finish.
POCONO BLACK & TAN
Diffident amber-hazed lager-porter mix retains initial creamy chocolate-sugared Sugar Daddy frequency as woody hop bitterness softens dry coffee contour and roasted nut mildness for honeyed granola-oats finish.
PLATAN LAGER
Sweet corn sugared facade links butterscotch-candied malting to forlorn diacetyl buttering. Brisk carbolic fizz impedes hop-grained bittering of medium-bodied nicety.
