Spicy 6.2% alcohol version connects orange-quince waft to white-peppered ginger-allspice-sage rage. Residual candi-sugar spunk dots citric endurance belying cinnamon-spiced pumpkin-pied finish of turbidly burnished copper dilly.

BROOKLYN LOCAL 1 ALE
NORTH COAST LE MERLE SAISON BELGIAN-STYLE FARMHOUSE ALE
Wobbly saison tries to be all things to everyone but half-asses the attempt. Honeysuckle-kissed apricot-tangerine-mango-pineapple tropicalia counters sour apple-cherry tartness and white peppered cinnamon-nutmeg spicing for impressive initiation, but metallic acidity decreases herbal-floral latency ’til astringent grassy-hopped barnyard-hay-horse blanket funk damages any lemony grapefruit rind remnant. Dry vermouth finish picks up misplaced medicinal mote.
BROOKLYN SAISON
(OMMEGANG) OMMEGEDDON FUNKHOUSE ALE
Silken-spiced straw-hazed Belgian-styled Saison gains white-peppered spearmint-basil momentum and grassy barnyard hop dryness to counter floral grapefruit-pineapple-apricot tartness overriding lemon-bruised orange peel bittering. Mellow butterscotch-marshmallow creaminess sweetens ginger-clove-dabbed herbal center and earthen mineral-grained bottom.
