On tap at One Mile House, resilient Brooklyn-Portland East Coast collaborative kolsch brings summery saison-like sour fruiting to spicy white-peppered herbage. Salty lemon-peeled grapefruit bittering created by oats-dried Mosaic hops picks up light pilsner-grained crystal malt sugaring. At the finish, zesty citrus intrigue takes command.
On tap at One Mile House. Spreading lactic brettanomyces yeast all over its tart lemon-limed cranberry souring, mild summertime ‘wild ale’ picks up leathery barnyard funk as salty desiccation overruns barren cranberry juicing. Light green grape esters aid overall sourness.
On tap at One Mile House, crisp moderate-bodied pale lager offers delicate citric hop bittering to crystal malt sugaring. Spritzy carbolic spree perks up zesty orange-grapefruit tang, tart red apple scamper and mild spicing. Taste-wise: closer to a fruited pale ale.
Despite destruction-bound Devastator tag, soft clean-watered crisping provides calm base for sweet malt-forward doppelbock. Brown-sugared maple molasses syruping spreads atop dried fig, sweet raisin, sugared vanilla and toffee fudging. Casual butternut, pecan, hazelnut and cola nut illusions dried out by earthen musk. Tertiary chocolate truffle, cream liqueur and pureed cherry notions need deeper resonance.
Satisfying English-styled barleywine lacks exquisite profile depth of richer competition, but its polite caramel malting, brown-sugared raisin sweetness and syrupy molasses sapping ultimately suffice. Light bourbon licks bring mild alcohol burn to dried fruited finish. Latent fig, date and apricot illusions as well as wavered vanilla pudding, butterscotch and gingerbread nuances fill the back end.
Unequivocal lunchtime snack brings bittersweet peanut-buttered creaming and dark-roasted black chocolate malting to ripe red raspberry rasp. Salty peanut-shelled roast seeps into crusty molasses toast bottom. Latent gingerbread cookie, cinnamon bread and cacao powder illusions as well as compact red grape, black cherry and blackberry fruiting envelop trusty PB&J theme.
True ‘nutcases’ will enjoy thick ‘n creamy peanut butter powdering of dark-roasted nut brown-related porter. Overriding peanut butter flavoring picks up honey nut sweetness and hazelnut chocolate residue to contrast mild op-oiled black coffee bittering. A truly convincing novelty.
Inspiringly complex full body offers maple-sugared molasses sap and burgundy-licked dried fruiting to caramel-burnt hazelnut toasting. Fudgy chocolate respite deepens nuttiness as buttered pecan, almond and praline reinforce well-integrated hazelnut heft. Dried cherry, raisin and fig nuances waver beside tertiary gingerbread, vanilla, creme brulee and malted milk ball sweetness. A rich, creamy dessert treat.
Indefinite amber-cleared moderation goes on a sour saison spree with its orange-desiccated lemondrop tartness and musty earthen herbage. Dry cardboard malting depletes coriander spicing and orange peel zesting.
Stylishly nebulous Flanders Red brings muddled green grape and red cherry souring plus plum-wined champagne yeast to coarse lactic acidity. Olfactory waft seems peculiar. Lemon-rotted mango piquancy outlasts tannic apple-skinned nuances.
Muted ‘lemondrop hops’ and ‘tart lemon, pepper and spring flowers’ provide initial carbolic effervescence to grassy barnyard desiccation, herbal honeyed licks and tender white wheat base. Lemon-candied finish lacks resolve.
Tolerable moderation needs crisper floral-perfumed citrus hop punch and richer pale wheat malting. Mildly embittered grapefruit-peeled lemon zest and soft pineapple-orange-peach tang fade alongside tea-like oxidation.
