On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, brisk Citra-hopped Canadian NEIPA lets lemon-pinched grapefruit bittering, pineapple-candied orange tartness, tannic white grape esters, mild guava sway and timid tangerine tang (plus a hint of pine and pinch of herbs) carry thru to its lightly creamed oats base.

Easygoing off-dry India Pale Ale with bittersweet lemony pineapple, grapefruit and mango tropicalia caressing mild piney hop resin and light floral herbage. Streamlined stylistically, but never slick.
Not as good as Germany’s premier Paulaner and Franziskaner hefes, lacking convincing banana-clove thrust.

But its eggy sourdough breading retains proper hefeweizen luster.
Fizzy lemon-soured herbal frontage outdoes stylish banana-clove sweetness atop white wheat base to ‘crisp, dry finish’ of filtered German-styled Japanese krystalweiss.

On tap at Pompton Craft House, lively lemon musk spritzes across raw-grained pilsner malts and herbal hops, gaining slightest lemony grapefruit zing and mandarin orange swipe in the fizzy midst. Closer to a sunny yellow fruited blonde ale than a traditional helles lager.
Dewy mildewed earthiness clogs mild coffee patter, snug dark-roast hop bittering and feint nut char of middling dark lager.
