Musty black currant simmer and moldy orange souring confront root vegetable earthiness, peaceably relegating dank cellar-fungi waft. Herbal touch softens yeast-y butterscotch-toffee muck. Bitter? Nah.

Root beer-hued bitter propels smoked barley-oats and buttery almond congruity above shrewd spice-fruited taffy undercurrent. Pleasant caramelized Scotch malts enliven fully-formed sinewy prune finish. Softer palates will not be turned off.

Bruised lemon tartness tucked inside soured wheat-maize fleece and light barley tease of hazy golden medium body. Malt-y cocoa finish emerges beyond candied citric insinuation and restrained peach-pear-apple wisp.

Green-bottled, pearly bubble-headed, scurvy-scented, amber-hued Belgian bitter maintains plush carbolic fizz and hefty citric-herbal hop tartness to dirty-grained foundation, culminating with durable yeat-sweetened barnyard-dried orange peel finish. Expansive hop-embittered prevalence conveys earthy ashen slither after few sips.

Durable rust-hued bubbly-headed fruit-hopped Extra Special Bitter propels saturated mocha thickness above light grained citrus tang and nutty residue. Abundant carbonation never disturbs creamy barley-toasted caramel malt synergy. By robust finish, it’s nuttier than fruitier.

Fruity nose, sweet barleymalt palate, and dry citric-hop tang given distant candied nut-berry backdrop. Closer to amber ale as its bright fruit zest directly counters brazen grain bitterness, but lack of bite diminishes piney finish.

Bittersweet brown chocolate theme picks up minor sour grapefruit-lemon tinge and frail vegetal smear, leaving coppery dry body astringently metallic by mocha finish.

If Beverly Hills is the capitol of broken relationships, then this defunct brew may be the best sarcastic response. Its dense pale malt thicket and flowery hop veer are reminiscent of simpler German wheat beer. Well-balanced moderate bitter is fine for mere dabblers and serious beer fanatics alike. Simple, effective relief for recently divorced.

Creamy malt-draped toffee sweetness overtakes pleasant wheat-barley combo and coffee-tinged edge as bubbly carbonation tickles tongue. Chocolate raisin drapes refreshing soda pop fizz by resinous hop embittered finish.

Locally popular reddish-hued bitter-wafted Scottish-styled (?) ale with heavily malted grain assertiveness. Strong, thick, but indistinct – a casual pleasure of passing interest later brewed by nearby Shipyard.

Up-front tangy orange resilience pervades sharply-carbonated lemony fizz bursting through mildly complex cloudy amber single malt brew. Bitter citric hop rasp fortifies full-bodied cracked wheat finish. Sip slowly to enjoy comforting blend.

Pour carefully to avoid disturbing sediment is fair warning for fizzy white-headed bottle-conditioned mild ale. Visible sour yeast sediment and bitter grain affectation augment dry hop finish of frustratingly boring Brit.
