Bright pinkish fruited hefe seeps tart raspberry pureed juicing into spritzy lemon licks, sedate banana-clove sweetness and bittersweet orange peel zesting over sugary wheat base.
WALLENPAUPACK HAWLEY HEFEWEIZEN WITH RASPBERY
VICTORY PEACH PIER
Summery peachy punch-like shandy lets tart lemonade sugaring pervade ginger-spiced peach wining over wheat-honeyed pilsner malts. Slight vodka licks and mild hard cider remnant add to slick cocktail derivative.
B.J.’S PUMPKIN ALE
Spicy pumpkin pie licks receive earthen gourd salting as brown-sugared cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger court perfumed hop herbage receding atop sweet caramel malts. Basic but well-balanced and seamless.
TWIN ELEPHANT / ALTERNATE ENDING CAUGHT A HANGER CZECH DARK LAGER
Frothy nut-charred grain coarsening, dark cocoa pungency and musky Perle-Saaz hop herbage enrich honey-roasted midnight wheat base of Czech-styled Jersey collaboration. Freeze-dried coffee, espresso, cola nut and Brazil nut illusions deepen its mocha insistence.
JESTER KING MAMA LUNA BLONDE ALE
Maize-dried husked graining and barnyard hay acridity receive fizzy lemon musk and mild floral spicing for briskly clean moderation.
BROOKLYN FONIO RISING PALE ALE
Not quite ‘resilient’ gluten-free fonio graining offers only the slightest nutty minerality to its perfumy lemon-peeled yellow grapefruit zesting and floral-daubed sweet orange peel tanginess. Pasty maltiness lingers.
JACK’S ABBY MUNICH FESTBIER
Smoother and creamier than lesser Munich-styled autumnal celebrators. Sweetish barleycorn crisping, leafy hop herbage and wispy honeyed nuttiness reach peaty rye (whiskey) base.
AXEMANN OKTOBERFEST
Sweetly soured red-orange-fruited pungency murkily sweeps thru leafy hop oiling and mild gourd earthiness ransacking slight Vienna malt caramelization.
CATSKILL BARKA BOOM OKTOBERFEST LAGER
Brown leafed herbal hop musk seeps into fungi must alongside navel orange mist above pasty malts. Just a tad richer, creamier and better than most Oktoberfests.
BELL’S OCTOBERFEST MARZEN
Marginal off-dry marzen with brown leafy hop astringency and earthen gourd musk given swift orange spicing over gluey Vienna malts.
TROEGS OKTOBERFEST LAGER
‘Toasty, crisp, festive’ marzen with basic off-dry setting. Dewy mossing, orange-oiled foliage and delicate Hallertau hop florality combine above laidback Vienna-malted molasses breading.
VON TRAPP POLOTMAVY LAGER
Dry limited edition Czech-styled amber lager given mellow spruce tips minting as mild lemon-licked herbage and brown leafy residue waver atop placid caramelized Vienna malting.
