CHICAGO VICINITY, ILLINOIS
August ’04, visited spacious TAYLOR BREWING of Lombard. Taylor’s Honey Wheat best represented stylistic median, as its bittersweet raw honey density complements soured yellow-fruited barley-backed Pure Pilsner, off-dry lemony-fizzed Poseidon Pale Ale, and mildly crystal-malted Golden Diamond Ale. Rye-pumpernickel illusions imbued Summerfest Ale; softly embittered toasted hops anchored wheat-husked Rusty Dog Amber Ale; roasted chestnuts suffused tea-like Nut Brown Ale; sweet caramel-maple permeated malt-heavy Dark Satin Dunkel.
