Pour slowly or highly carbolic nature will overwhelm dry hop-charred piney bittering as well as adjacent raw honeyed pungency of puffy tan-headed amber ale. Leafy hops exert floral earthiness compensating mild orange peel serenity and vacuous apricot tinge.
Delicately well-balanced rust-orange-hued Martha’s Vineyard brew integrates honeyed caramel malts with floral apple-peach-cherry fruiting and minimal lemony hop-spiced bittering. Barley biscuit-y bottom adds sweet assurance to maple sugared backdrop, though some phenol acridity wanders in.
Impressive hazy golden medium body brings soft peach essence to lemony hard candied tartness and tangerine-grapefruit-mango wisp. Perfume-y apricot aromatics and brisk carbolic fizz re-enforce syrupy citric soda spritz to cracked wheat spine. Way better than Peach Schnapps.
Peculiar maple-cured bacon, barbecued beef jerky, and singed hickory fumes inundate superfine porter that compares favorably to Germany’s Aecht rauchbiers. Upon pouring, chunky spume forms lusciously cascading tan head atop velvety brown-bodied bottom. Efficient cedar-smoked black chocolate prelude receives dry char-hopped tar-like coffee midriff, ancillary tobacco-molasses-walnut respite, and nimble black cherry trifle.
Soft white-headed clear-toned dry-bodied musty-hopped non-alcoholic ‘malt beverage’ has bright, sunny disposition and ultra light resolution. Spry hop perk disguises lack of grain bite and true grit, yet crystal water crispness, polite bitterness, and lemon freshness appeals to tolerant lightweights.
One of the better non-alcoholic beers (0.5% by volume), this amber lager has sweet wheat aroma, sturdy roasted barleymalt palate, and pallid burnt hop fizz. Dry pumpernickel backdrop provides more character than better known American macrobrews, though lack of yeast leaves flat mouthfeel and empty feeling in the stomach.
Musty medium-bodied amber-toned Scottie barely overcomes nebulous nature. Fizzy chocolate malt graze, scattered floral-fruited spicing and resinous hop plod lead to uninterestingly slim peat-grained finish, becoming sulfuric. Brewer’s best selling flagship beer is strictly for lunkheads.
Tangy peach-quince freshness brightens honeyed cereal malts and grapefruit-embittered floral hops of copper-hazed pearly-headed moderate body. Sour lemon rind seduction and wood-soaked cherry parch encounter earthen mineral grains at cracked wheat spine. But abrupt astringency scours bitter piney finish, coarsening sour bruised lemon musk.
Insufficient unfiltered wheat dogged by sterile sourness and lack of substance. Fizz outlasts any faux-wheat presence and flaccid grain schmaltz.
Redolent of nearby Colorado brewer Great Divide’s St. Brigid Stout due to soured coffee grain theme and nutty chocolate variance. But unwanted medicinal astringency, phenol citric-peeled lament, and trashy lactose finish decrease depth substantially.
Dankly sour-scented musty-grained pale ale’s frisky fruit frolic consists of faded blueberry, black cherry, and citrus accents muting bitter nutty hop saturation.
Supine cocoa-soured orange-molded frontage deepens English-styled barleywine, climaxing with sweet chocolate-raisin deluge before smooth hop finish softens.
