FRANKENHEIM ALT

Obtuse German brown ale brings dry-hopped burnt toast entry to barley-roasted chestnut dirge, settling into metallic honey-malted astringency similar to non-alcoholic O’Doul’s Amber and closer to inferior copper ales. Wood-charred earthen grain bitterness reflects smoky character well.

HARPOON ALT ALE

Busy limited edition single batch reddish copper altbier juxtaposes toasted caramel sweetness and candied sugar coquetry against tamped down earthy hops and fresh hay serendipity. Cola nut and herbal tea illusions back fruited midst as wheat cracker serenade infiltrates oncoming copper ale-like tinniness.
