On tap at Taphouse 15, lemony grapefruit sunshine brightens subtly embittered front end of crisp ‘pineapple-juiced’ moderate-medium body. Casual mango, peach and tangerine illusions add further straightforward tropicalia.
FLYING FISH HAZY BONES INDIA PALE ALE
Fine tropical-fruited summertime moderation takes straightforward path to sessionability. Crisply clean pink grapefruit-licked pineapple tang gains subtle blood orange tartness to placate mild grassy hop astringency over dry cardboardy pale malts. Lemon custard, apricot, quince, mango, peach and vinous grape undertones flutter.
FLYING FISH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IPA
Easygoing lo-cal IPA with spongy white head fading above its clear straw body utilizes acai berry to increase overall tartness. Spritzy lemon fizz prickles hard-candied pineapple, lacquered peach and mandarin orange illusions guided by acai-like pomegranate tartness above grassy-hopped wheat wafer bottom.
FLYING FISH XPA CITRA PALE ALE
Unassumingly splendid updated version of standard Extra Pale Ale given delicate Citra-hopped IPA fruiting for truly sessionable appeal. Soft-tongued lemony orange-grapefruit tang embeds hushed herbal hop astringency above bready barley-toasted pale malts as tertiary pineapple, peach and tangerine snips waver.
FLYING FISH TRADEWINDS TROPICAL WHEAT
Sessionably soft-toned tropical ale nudges salted passionfruit and guava tartness past bittersweet mango-pineapple piquancy, candied mandarin orange souring and strawberry rhubarb respite above muted white wheat base.
FLYING FISH SALT AND SEA SESSION SOUR ALE
Refreshingly clean salt-watered taffy tartness promoted by limey strawberry pucker. Mildly sour sea-salted lime briskness combines with strawberry spritz and less prominent agave-cologned herbage for White Claw hard seltzer appeal, but Graham Cracker wheat bottom’s outta place. On tap at Hoover’s Tavern April 2024, sea-salted lime zesting gained tart strawberry snag as Jolly Rancher Watermelon and candied tangerine illusions sneak thru mildly acidic summertime dry bodied sour.
MONTAUK PUMPKIN ALE
On tap at Growler & Gill, reserved pumpkin-spiced moderation spreads brown-sugared cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice sweetness across dried ginger insistence and mild perfumed hops above relegated Graham Cracker-honeyed wheat spine. Predictably staid and worthily conformist.
CAPTAIN LAWRENCE AUTUMN BLAZE PUMPKIN ALE
Brown-sugared pureed pumpkin pie spicing lets ginger-snapped cinnamon toasting gain prominence above earthen gourd-bound foliage. Fizzy orange peel spritz never precludes pumpkin-spiced sweetness.
AMERICAN SOLERA LORAL ROBERTS KOLSCH
On tap at Taphouse 15, smoothly dry moderation permits Loral-hopped floral herbage to delicately penetrate lemony quince and mandarin orange desiccation above saltine-crackered cereal graining. Serve to lighter palates.
ASHTON IDA WEISS
On tap at Tapastre, stylishly dryer hefeweiss offers lemony banana-clove expectancy to lightly smoked wheat malts and salted herbal hop sedation. A tad underwhelming.
RAMSTEIN RIVER WIT
On tap at River Of Beer, effervescent lemony orange tang provokes mild coriander spicing over cracked wheat spine in unassuming manner. Casual light-bodied wit for autumn 2020.
MARLOWE EAGER TO SHARE PALE ALE
On tap at Taphouse 15, vibrantly soft-tongued yellow-marbled moderation renders Citra-Mosaic-hopped citrus sunshine for salty herbal-spiced pale malt dryness. Subdued grapefruit-orange tang holds steady.
