On tap at Beef Trust, zesty orange, tangerine and pineapple juicing placated by Maris Otter-sweetened pilsner malting.

CARTON WILL IT BANANA CREAM PIE PASTRY CREAM ALE
On tap at Beef Trust, ‘pastry’ cream ale brings rummy banana-daubed vanilla cream pie sweetness to the fore above grassy hop astringency in nitogenated setting.
CARTON TWIN OUTBOARD WHALER DDH NEIIPA
On tap at Beef Trust, vibrant herb-spiced tropical fruiting takes hold above dry pine serenity and mild grassy astringency in floral-daubed double dry-hopped mineral water setting. Streamlined grapefruit, orange, peach, tangerine and cherry tang resonates.
CARTON 2020 IS HINDSIGHT ROCKY ROAD STOUT
On tap at Taphouse 15, decadent Imperial Stout (in collab with J. Wakefield) showcases toasted pecan and marshmallow adjuncts as creamy brown chocolate syruping drapes hazelnut-pasted molasses richness and mild oats-flaked Maris Otter malting contrasting cedar-charred hop roast of Rocky Road ice cream knockoff.
CARTON AND A JELLY IMPERIAL CREAM ALE
On tap at Beef Trust, fruity Regular Coffee spinoff finished on raspberries plies milk-sugared coffee creaming to pastry-caked breakfast confection. Raspberry jellied tartness sweetens yellow-caked coffee caking for fine proprietary derivative.
CARTON FOSTER
On tap at Tapastre, vanilla rum barrel-aged Imperial Coffee Cream Ale offshoot finished on bruleed banana retains “acidic coffee bittering curbed by milk sugar” for obliquely designed dessert beer. Rummy banana daquiri midst picks up demure dry Scotch spurt as mild coffee-espresso tones indeterminably reach pastry floured base.
CARTON CUBAN COFFEE IMPERIAL CREAM ALE
On tap at Beef Trust, silken “continuation of regular coffee game” features espresso-roasted creamed coffee goodness aged in rum barrels and finished with condensed milk. Milk-sugared coffee creaming stays sedate as rummy Scotch-licked warmth picks up wispy toasted coconut, oaken vanilla and brandy illusions (as well as lacquered turpentine ethers).
CARTON WHIP AMERICAN PILSNER
Like a brisk walk in the park, pleasantly crisp light-bodied pils (with white head over thin aluminum yellow haze) brings wet-grained minerality to sour lemon zest, musky chamomile herbage, yellow wood bark and sweet corn remnant. A refined draught pilsner.
CARTON LIGHT & SWEET
On tap at Beef Trust, soothingly lighter (if not necessarily sweeter) version of Carton’s Regular Coffee retains soft nitrogenated mouthfeel, creamy white eggshell head and lovely milk-sugared coffee essence. Sweetened coffee tones gain subtle cappuccino, latte macchiato and Frappuccino licks as well as mild orange rind snips. A delightful offshoot.
CARTON SS HIEF IMPERIAL PALE ALE
On tap at Poor Henry’s, heftier version of brewers’ renowned Boat Beer (masking heightened 8.4% ABV) emboldened by plentiful IPA-like citrus fruiting, grainier pale malt spine and powdered lupulin oils (instead of hop pellets). Lemony grapefruit zest and ancillary guava-papaya tartness grazed by resinous hemp dankness and delicate lemongrass herbage above doughy dry malting. Sunshiny summertime fare with a solid hop-grained redemption.
CARTON BALINATOR HOP-LESS DOPPELBOCK
Interesting (if not totally convincing) bock hybrid layers medium-roast Blue Moon coffee beans above coarsely dried-fruited peat malts, leaving sweet vanilla and dark chocolate tones in the lurch. Using green Bali coffee beans instead of dry hops, its subtle berry-cherry notions fade too quick while black licorice, cola nut and hazelnut illusions merely waver in an unbalanced mix that’ll satisfy coffee lovers only at the beginning.
CARTON THE HOOK PALE ALE
On tap at Poor Henry’s, briskly clean wheated pale ale spreads light citrus spicing across grassy hop astringency, dry pale malting and slight barnyard acridity. Polite Citra-hopped tingle pervades lemony clementine, navel orange and tangerine tang as well as mild orange pith bittering above wheat cracker base in highly sessionable manner.
