BOULEVARD HARVEST DANCE WHEAT WINE

Beers A-Z
On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead and aged in French oak barrels, fruity wheat-malted moderation brings sour saison-like yellow fruiting to sweeter tropical fruiting, leaving peripheral champagne-fizzed Sauvignon Blanc wining at pepper-spiced sweet 'n sour finish. Lemon and orange rot ensure sour end while pineapple, pear, apple and peach illusions pick up sugary crystal malt creaming. Well disguised 9.5% ABV allows vermouth and vodka hints to emerge.

ALLAGASH SESSION BRETT ALE

Beers A-Z
On tap at Ambulance Brew House, soft Mosaic hop tropicalia traipses thru leathery brettanomyces-soured wild ale for truly sessionable light-bodied experience. Tart lemon and herbal lemongrass illusions pace the front end, picking up cologne-perfumed mango, guava, pineapple and papaya snips. Misty lemon zest freshness caresses the citric finish. Compost-wafted hay, straw and afalfa seep into the wispy mix.

CLOWN SHOES REINDEER GAMES BAVARIAN IPA

Beers A-Z
On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead, smoothly detailed and highly approachable Imperial India Pale Ale brings moderate spiced hops, toasted caramel malting and sugar cookie yeast to red, orange and yellow fruiting. Minor piney bittering freshens up grapefruit, navel orange and pineapple expectancy as well as tertiary apple, pear, peach, clementine and mango illusions. Sweeter than most hop-embittered IPA's, its well hidden 8% ABV stays recessive, allowing the fruit-juiced finish to prosper.

FIRESTONE WALKER PALE 31

Beers A-Z
On tap at Ambulance Brew House, delicate sunny day offering totally defines efficient California-styled pale ale style. Light floral hop spicing affects evenly dispersed navel orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine and pineapple tang, becoming a tad pine-dried by the zesty citric finish. Papery pale malting remains apprehensive, allowing subtle tropical fruiting to shine brightly above. Image result for FIRESTONE PALE 31  

FOUNDERS DISSENTER IMPERIAL PALE LAGER

Beers A-Z
On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead, high-octane 2014 Imperial is Founders first lager in 12 years. Mighty 8.7% ABV provides strong ethanol influence to tropical India Pale Ale-like fruiting and resinous pine needling. Grapefruit peel-embittered orange rind, pineapple, nectarine and apple tang receives fragrant floral-perfumed waft. Sugary crystal malting sweetens loud citric-pined finish.
