BRUTON STONER
Wayward Italian-made Belgian strong pale ale places citric-spiced mineral graining atop wood-dried grassy hops. Pungent hemp-oiled rye toasting picks up sesame-seeded wheat germ, sorghum and whey minerality as well as light sourdough breading above black-peppered coriander-spiced lemon zest. Hybridized medium-body better defined as nuanced Anglo-American pale ale.
BRUTON DI BRUTON
Ephemeral opalescent-hued Belgian-style blonde ale from Italy brings soft white-peppered hop spicing to wildflower-honeyed citrus zest and lightly creamed crystal malts. Mild citric-peeled lemon meringue, champagne grape, pineapple, cantaloupe and banana illusions scurry thru grassy-hopped easement. A sessionable moderation.

WHITE BIRCH BELGIAN STYLE PALE ALE
Vacillating Belgian knockoff wavers between brisk lemon-peeled effervescence and herbaceous tea-like seduction. Dry pepper-spiced grassy hop prickle reinforces remedial citric-soured hard candy coating, tart baked apple warmth and red-wined nashi pear graining. Musty earthen barnyard minerality brings puckering bettanomyces-like funk to latent ester-y grape murk.
