Soft-toned white-headed pale-bodied bock with bread-like yeast pungency, musty malt severity, and dry mocha sourness too light and insignificant for exalted class.

Fine spruce-wafted reddish amber IPA with unimpeded roasted hop thrust propelling tangy grapefruit-led fruiting. A smattering of pine embitters red apple, cherry, peach, pear, and pineapple upsurge to toasted barley base.

Rich auburn-bodied beige-headed top-fermented abbey ale with combustible 8% alcohol rate and sinewy leaven yeast sediment. Barleywine subtleties waver above dirty grain base and silken hop spicing. Fully formed, yet difficult to clearly define as a double bock, therefore recommended to dark ale connoisseurs.

Expansive ‘premium lager’ alleviates roasted chocolate-caramel malting and buttery cocoa elegance with soft barleywine warmth, picking up minor cinnamon-nutmeg tingle and dark rum spicing at lingered dry prune-raisin finish. Closer inspection reveals creamy maple-cola immersion.

Easily one of greatest American brewpubs, Mc Neill’s generic labeled ruddy-browned full-bodied seasonal bock offers laid-back ice coffee flow soured thusly by orange-bruised prune-dried green raisin scour and vinous grape tannic tartness before settling into dry port finish. Ashen peat bottom collapses.

Heavenly juicy-fruited medium-bodied dark amber may lack alcoholic chocolate-rimmed citric-dried inertia of richer bock competition, but fig-spiced bruised cherry entry dazzles. Spry floral-hopped briskness enhances luscious melon sweetness and mildly tart grape-quince sequel solidifying toasted wheat bed. Instantly approachable for lighter thirsts, yet bold enough for strong ale heads.
