On tap at Taphouse Grille – Wayne, dry ‘hoppy session’ stout anchored by dark chocolate-bound coffee tones as espresso, tobacco chaw and seared wood provide adequate bittering for dark roast hop char. Smoked mocha finish gains slight orange peel sweetness.
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, creamier milk-sugared vanilla froth and deeper tropical fruit penetration guide New England-styled Unicorn variant. Zestful Citra-Mosaic hops provide lemony orange-peeled grapefruit tanginess, peachy mango sway and sweet floral spicing while Huell Melon hops disperse green grape/ passionfruit/pineapple souring and Simcoe hops fling lightly pungent piney herbage at contrastive honeyed pale malting.
On tap at Kitchen And Beer Bar, lemony grapefruit zesting rides above milk-sugared vanilla sweetness in delicate oated wheat NEIPA setting. Sessionable though briskly sharp Citra-Mosaic-hopped moderation stays juicily fruitful.

On tap at Poor Henry’s (2019), sourly tropical Mexican lager’s an acquired taste. Splashy agave-cologned lime peel zesting given mild sea salting over musky hop stead. In the can (2022), aluminum-cleared light body gained slight resolve. Mild sea-salted lime peeled lemon spritz and wispy agave herbage retain frothily creamed malt liquor head. Decent baked bread remnant. Betters Corona.
On tap at Poor Henry’s, softly creamed lactobacillus-soured stout collides lemon-oiled raspberry puree tartness with bitter cocoa-nibbed dark chocolate malting. But the sour raspberry rasp never quite congeals with its mighty mocha romp or latent vanilla bean murk.
On tap at Poor Henry’s, dryly tropical New Zealand-hopped pilsner retains subtle kiwi tartness above bready pilsner malting and raw millet groats. Dewy botanical kiwi adjunct leaves soft-toned gooseberry, cucumber, honeydew and melon rind illusions on the tongue. Mellow pilz pleaser.
