On tap, wayward ruddy magenta amber lager offers herbal dried fruiting to cereal-grained toasted malting. Orange-dried cherry-fig-date conflux perks up diminutive almond-buttered chestnut roast. Puzzling flavor mix is as freaky as beer’s circus-inspired moniker. In bottle, ubiquitous gin-soaked caraway-seeded honeyed wheat tapestry provides funky promenade for bodacious limestone-salted lemon-bruised grapefruit bittering and stewed prune souring, upping its rating.

Blatant phenol acerbity drains light-bodied easy-drinkin’ amber ale. Slender sweet-corned cereal graining, barren honey-roasted malt whimper, and desolate almond paste divergence weaken latent sour orange tang.

Mild grain essence provides relaxing front-end while lingering spiced hop bitterness and delicate malt sweetness inform dry doughy finish of coppery medium-bodied Old Vienna-styled amber lager. Quite splendid!

Translucent pale-bodied cumulous-headed amber counters pungent malted grain nose with lemony orange zest and salty carbolic fizz to dismal sour hop finish. Skunked sulfuric woes, typical of lesser Dutch lagers, disturb bitter congruence.

Flanked by nostalgic Volkswagen minibus label, this “mellow, effortless” hippie-stoked Vienna lager plies musty-fruited Vienna malt essence to muted herbal-hopped mocha nuttiness. Though organic mineral grain finish never relinquishes subordinate fruit-spiced red ale tang, a stoic blandness gets exposed on repeated sips.

Sinewy yeast sweetness and pungent malt-toasted grains enhance spicy citric adjuncts of moderately creamy lager. Bitter hops awaken caramelized orange midst of well-defined Czech. Would fit comfortably alongside assertive German Octoberfests.

Bold amber-hued billowy-headed premium lager gains bubbly citric zest by alcohol-burnt finish. Bittersweet honeyed mocha malts sneak through lingered hop merriment.

Soapy washed out lager with bland see-thru amber hue mired by puzzling dank sourness and oily corn liquor finish. On positive side, butterscotch dalliance nicely saturates cracked wheat base.

Fair Canadian contender’s crisp-watered caramelized tea frontage and teasing orange peel spicing encourage casual Red Ale. But tardy barley-roasted chocolate sweetness needs to be brought up for better distinction.

Emphatic caramel chocolate seduction imbues wispy honeyed molasses sweetness as polite hop-spiced tingle and floral fruited tang spark tertiary fig-date sourness to toasted nut bottom of reddish amber medium body.

Despite promising auburn hue, barren sour malt peculiarity and acrid barley-wheat dryness lack ancillary adjuncts. Raw grain husk and phenol hop fizz too murky for musty moderation. Rancid metallic moldiness disturbs diminished minerality at deadened finish.
