Weirdly vegetal German-styled peculiarity punctuates malted barley-wheat frontage with ambrosial citric efficiency and delicate hop bitterness. Sweet carrot, fresh asparagus, and fresh tobacco leaf illusions positively complement mineral grained earthiness.

Butterscotch-glowed Munich-styled lager hides biscuit-y wheat nuance and orange-mango fruitiness beneath high carbonation. Sharp hop bitterness encounters candied medicinal mildness at moderate grain finish. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Softly hop-spiced citric-centered summery ale with wispy lemon touch gets a bit phenol. At midst, orange blossom souring settles into tangy Orange Krush-like soda flow nicely.

Inoffensive dry-bodied lightweight skims butterscotch register across soft cereal-grained backbone. Wafting floral hop sprocket affords softest yellow fruit wisp. Reticent honey nut aspect stays distant.

Perfunctory orange-yellowed dry malt lager with coarse chaffed wheat entry, sweet corn sway, and grassy earthiness lacks body, becoming soapy and bland by astringent caramel-nut finish.

Unconventional rocky tan-headed amber-hazed medium-bodied Munich-styled helles lager (nicknamed after Krampus, a fanged Christmas devil) reveals ambitious moderate-bodied India Pale Ale character hop-heads will find unexpectedly profound. Brashly inventive, its woody Chinook hop bittering, usually reserved for dryer pale ales, adds wintry evergreen pining to floral fruited frequency of inventive hybrid. Sugared malts sweeten apple-candied peach-pineapple-melon tang and juicy grapefruit sourness girding boozy 9% alcohol whir. Herbaceous white-peppered ginger-spearmint reminder adds further depth. ‘Diabolical,’ indeed.

Salty billowy white-headed, hazily pale-bodied, wheat-grazed Munich-styled medium body picks up tempered lemon rind sourness, dewy sourdough splurge, and grassy grain surge its mildly acidic bitter hop finish durably enforces.

Heineken crowd will gobble up versatile mild-malted bitter-hopped pilsner-like helles lager as less filling, lighter-bodied substitute. But lemony quince wince, uncertain caramel backdrop, and soapy dough finish mar its Euro-trash simplicity.

Silken pilsner-related honeyed wheat sweetness cloaks moderate hop-spiced mineral graining that recedes quickly as overriding lime-like fizz knocks back mild bitterness. Brisk water flow adds to refreshing nature. Perfect for Rebel Bohemian Pilsner or Budweiser fans.

All natural straw-hued lager with crisp water cleanness, vibrant Cascade hops, and filmy glass-clinging Brussels lace. Rich barleymalts, honeyed oats, and stone fruiting offer slight red ale sweetness to complete the simple grain finish. Well above mainstream lagers without getting fancy.

Unobtrusive light-bodied pale lager matches dank sour whiff to acrid orange peel bitterness, sunny lemon-lime twist, and fizz-hopped alacrity. Cloy corn cusp deceives husked wheat dryness and arbitrary roasted barley-toasted honey sweetness mid-palate. This was the approachable helles lager that started it all for Cricket Hill in 2002.

Slim grassy hop fizz and buttery malt creaminess meet honeyed oats sweetness for uninteresting medium-bodied Munich helles lager. Skunked cabbage-like aroma disrupts vegetal corn-husked earthiness.
