Approachably clean-watered fruit salad with pasty lacquered grouting serenades the tongue with floral-perfumed grapefruit, orange, peach, mango and tangerine juiciness. Tangy tropical fruiting stays brisk alongside resinous pine tones over sweet caramel malting.
NOD HILL STORMFIELD IPA
CARTON BALINATOR HOP-LESS DOPPELBOCK
Interesting (if not totally convincing) bock hybrid layers medium-roast Blue Moon coffee beans above coarsely dried-fruited peat malts, leaving sweet vanilla and dark chocolate tones in the lurch. Using green Bali coffee beans instead of dry hops, its subtle berry-cherry notions fade too quick while black licorice, cola nut and hazelnut illusions merely waver in an unbalanced mix that’ll satisfy coffee lovers only at the beginning.

OMMEGANG BRUNETTA OUD BRUIN
OMMEGANG GAME OF THRONES: BEND THE KNEE GOLDEN ALE
On tap at Morris Tap & Grill, ambrosial candi-sugared honey adjunct regales sweet orange-bruised banana pudding, peach cobbler and pear syruping against herbal white-peppered barnyard acridity. Rapturously fruitful frolic gains zesty lemon twist and mild coriander-clove spicing over oats-flaked malts for fairly complex and highly recommended Belgian strong ale.
THREES THE WORLD IS FLAT ENGLISH PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, dry orange blossom-honeyed citrus serenity rides above dewy pale malt base. Advertised cantaloupe and elderflower illusions stay recessive.

SOULCRAFT GREEN CHILE PALE ALE
Roasted pueblo-serrano chili peppering extends the heat to slightly pungent herbal hop grassiness and rice-y pale malt dryness. Green chili pepper burn stays toned down so zesty lemon spritz could spread a little sunshine.
GRIMM TODAY’S SPECIAL MANDARINA PALE ALE
SAINT PATRICK’S PEACH MANGO BLONDE ALE
14TH STAR VALOR ALE
Tropical citrus fruiting graces wood-dried grassy hop resin and wispy black tea-like musk above caramel-roasted amber graining of pleasingly midstream flagship offering. Juicy grapefruit rind bittering contrasts sweet orange peel tang for hop-forward IPA-derived ale.
ANCHOR CALIFORNIA LAGER
Straight-ahead dry lager offers musky earthen leathering, desiccated orange spritz, grassy hop astringency and bready sourdough malting. Better than less decisive lagers, if not truly distinct as a sessionable moderation.
