On tap at Dog & Cask, sessionable amber lager brings raw-honeyed lemon rot souring to the fore. Mild grapefruit bittering contrasts sassy sugared spicing just below pale-malted grassy hop stead. Baked bread, barley biscuit and toasted caramel undertones fade abruptly.

(CLIPPER CITY) HEAVY SEAS CUTLASS AMBER LAGER
Complacent moderation (formerly Heavy Seas Marzen) lacks focus and gets washed-out. Buttered biscuit-like Vienna malting, phenol-spiced lemony orange nip and toasted white bread spine stay thin. Cardboard-y caramelization needs sugary boost.

HARPOON POTT’S LANDBIER
Unbalanced moderate-to-medium-bodied Vienna-styled dark amber lager brewed in collaboration with Germany’s Potts Brewery lacks sturdy stylistic theme (and decent flavoring), becoming endlessly ponderous by peculiar maibock-soured finish. Rotted lemon-peeled bittering reaches dour hop-spiced orange-dried acridity over nutty tobacco-leafed desiccation and muddy earthen peat fungi. Blanched cherry-grape fruiting lost amongst raw-honeyed astringency and phenol carbolic fuzz.
