(ANHEUSER-BUSCH) SPRING HEAT SPICED WHEAT

Buoyant limited edition pale-hazed Belgian-styled witbier retains lilting springtime pleasantry despite sharp pine needled citric nosing. Caressing spice-tingled apricot-nectarine tang, menial vanilla drift, and trifling mango-banana-pineapple tropicalia affix advertised orange-lemon-lime peels softly comforting casual coriander curtsy, remaining inoffensively stylish despite unrealized Belgian intricacies.

(BALADIN) NORA ALE

Lovely fruit ale inspired by ancient Egyptian beers features low-key myrrh, ginger and orange peel influences. Maintaining an abundant fluffy head, effervescent champagne-like carbonation and soft water freshness to its luscious Sangria finish, lovely Italian-bred medium body’s quince-wafted fruit spicing sweetens over time. Grape-ripened tangerine-honeydew-melon tang and tart raspberry-blueberry-blackberry subsidy wrap around clover-honeyed cotton candy frolic to complement sour-mashed cork dryness. Serve to red wine drinkers as a sweet alternative.

DOGFISH HEAD CHATEAU JIAHU

Sinewy yeast clouds coppery honeysuckle-glazed eccentricity. Floral chrysanthemum-lavender embrace gathers up-front Sangria, Muscat, and pinot grape esters, beckoning peach-tangerine ripeness and surreptitious lemon-limed orange-grapefruit smattering. Subsequent peppery hop prickle absorbs vinous white wine acidity, obscure herbaceous tuck, and latent gin-like juniper nip.

FLEURETTE GIOIA DI VIVERE ALE

Like a corky Belgian cuvee or gueuze spreading unripe green grape pucker and Granny Smith apple sourness atop cloudy yeast sediment, this abstruse pinkish-highlighted amber golden aperitif gains many offbeat illusions. But advertised floral promise of rose, violet, and elderberry nuances never conquer lemon-dried mandarin orange burst or fungus-like olfactory dankness (though lavender and lilac hints persist). Black pepper spicing is inconspicuous.
