COMMON ROOTS PILLOW GOSSIP IPA
On tap at Poor Henry’s, tropical moderation nearly as soft and billowy as its namesake.

Tingly spiced citrus continuance reaches gentle oats base with sweetly aired lilt.
COMMON ROOTS BARREL AGED IN BLOOM
Rustic wine barrel-aged farmhouse ale fermented in oak foedres allows mild lemon lime acidity, vinous green grape tannins and wispy herbal salting to enhance tartly citric saison yeast of dry white wine alternative.
COMMON ROOTS SHADOW FIGURES PORTER
Oily hop resin drips off earthy wood-seared walnut char as coffee-roasted dark chocolate bittering surges. Mild cola, hazelnut and Brazil nut illusions deepen nutty aspect to complement its caramel-burnt mocha aspect.
COMMON ROOTS GOOD FORTUNE IPA
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, promising New England-styled IPA blends tropical El Dorado and Galaxy hops with floral wood-dried Amarillo hops for stylishly dryer medium body. Parched lemony grapefruit bittering contrasts milder pineapple, passionfruit and peach tanginess above sugary pale malt spine.

COMMON ROOTS LITTLE MONK
On tap at Ambulance, sessionable Belgian pale ale (brewers’ lighter alcohol version of Burly Monk) retains crisply clean grapefruit-juiced hop-oiling above honeyed malt piquancy, but laid-back herbal hop bittering never fully suffices.
COMMON ROOTS DARK ALE
On tap at Equilibrium, bitterly black-malted medium body drapes moderately creamed dark chocolate across roasted coffee and vanilla bean sedation. Mild cola-walnut char picks up burnt toast smidge.
COMMON ROOTS HALF CUP PETITE COFFEE
On tap at Ambulance, ‘delicate’ version of brewers’ Coffee Cup dispenses dry cold-brewed coffee roast upon black chocolate malts and mild wood-charred hop bittering. A splendidly easygoing coffee ale.
COMMON ROOTS LAST LIGHT IPA
Delightful flagship India Pale Ale (with flavors and aromas of grapefruit and melon) truly resonates.

Lively lemon zest brings sunny citric ambiance to floral fructose affluence as grassy-hopped pine resin adds proper bittering.
