On tap at Pompton Craft House, homage to Anchor Steam Beer brings sweet honeyed sourdough breading and biscuity dry lagered respite to lemony floral-spiced Fuggle hop herbage. Serve to amber ale fans.
FORT NONSENSE CELLARMAN SEA SHANDY
Morristown’s Big Brew Festival People’s Choice Award 2013. Shandy-inspired fruited sour with sea-salted tangerine and curuba (floral banana passionfruit pulping) not far removed from lemon lime soured gose at the Italian ice finish.
FORT NONSENSE PROJECT LOLA PILSNER
Musty pilsner-malted barnyard rusticity and slight dark floral herbage drape toasted bread base of crisp dry-hopped bohemian-styled moderation.
CRICKET HILL HAZY WAY LAGER
Sunshiny lemony orange tang of Mandarina Bavaria/Lemondrop hop combo lightly embittered by mild woody Amarillo hops for zesty golden hazed India Pale Ale-derived dry lager. Capacious citrus spicing reaches cushy white wheat bed.
TO OL 45 DAYS ORGANIC PILSNER
On tap at Taphouse 15, fully matured 45-day fermentation gives crisp cleanness to delicate Bavarian-styled pils. Sugared oats, sweet corn and caramelized barley unite with spicy Perle hops for easygoing light body.
GRIN 1866 GERMAN STYLE PILSNER
Mossy pilsner malting, musky barnyard milling grains and rustic hop earthiness gather for easygoing German pils, picking up mild Cascade hop lemon licks and wispy Saaz hop herbage.
JAILBREAK HEY PORTER
Bitter dark ale fans rejoice! Black chocolate-embittered dark roast barley, nut-singed hop char and caramel-burnt vanilla beaning lie in mildly creamed Blackstrap molasses treacle.
JAILBREAK OATS & COCONUT & STUFF
Decadent Palo Santo-wooded rum and bourbon aged oatmeal stout blends rummy bourbon vanilla sugaring with bittersweet dark chocolate fudging, toasted coconut sweetness and cedar-smoked dark molasses oats. Rich cookie dough base fortifies frothily creamed coconut-caked chocolate bourbon nightcap.
JAILBREAK WHITE RUSSIAN CREAM ALE
Polite upfront coffee roast given muted powder-sugared vanilla creaming and rummy Kahlua snip for understated White Russian cocktail knockoff. Below the delicate surface lie lemon meringue, cream soda, cornbread and yellow fig wisps. Slight green pepper snip underscores slightly coarse phenolic backend.
JAILBREAK PUT UP THE PEACE SIGN HAZY IPA
Sunny lemon zesting, sweet orange peel tang and bitter yellow grapefruit juicing join lesser mango-guava-lychee tropicalia and lacquered wood respite. Lingering citrus bittering gains clean vodka brining.
JAILBREAK CLEARLY RIGHTEOUS WEST COAST STYLE IPA
Dry floral perfumed citrus zing gains mild piney hop astringency while pale malt sugaring falls flat. Zesty yellow grapefruit, orange peel and pineapple tanginess could be upped.
JAILBREAK BEACON OF LIGHT
Oddball spice ale inspired by gingery rum-spiced Dark & Stormy cocktail lets dry lime spritz subdue ginger influence as well as star anise and cinnamon sweetness and Tahitian vanilla botanicals. Closer to a lemon-limed 7Up.
