On tap at Triton, easygoing orange and lime zested pale wheat ale picks up spry lemon spritz and teensy floral saffron musk above substantial floury sourdough yeast buttering.

YARDS PHILLY STANDARD
Sessionable “no nonsense” golden straw cleared dry lager with corn-flaked cereal graining reaching honeyed dough bottom as salty lemon-spiced herbage stays relegated.
YARDS FRENCH TOAST BITES
On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, lactose milk sugaring seeps into buttercream-frosted vanilla sweetness and maple-molasses cinnamon toasting guarding loosely defined brown ale. But phenol citric-tinged astringency slightly hampers maple-syrupy French Toast finish.
YARDS PHILTHY HAZY IPA
On tap at Beef Trust, bold golden-hazed tropical fruited IPA lets zestful lemony grapefruit sunshine and tart mandarin orange spritz brighten mildly bitter pepper-spiced piney hop resin. A citrus-crisped summertime refresher.
YARDS RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT – 2014
On tap at Poor Henry’s, vintage 2014 Russian Imperial Stout aged five years. Sly whiskey-dried burgundy wining guards coffee-roasted black chocolate bittering and contrasts honeyed Graham Cracker sweetness. In the recess, tobacco chaw, burnt toast and burnt wood nuances flutter beneath ashen hop-oiled smoked mocha pungency.
YARDS GOLDEN HOP IPA
On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, fluffily cream-headed moderate-to-medium body delivers citrus-spiced Mosaic-Cascade hop zestiness and mild wood-dried Amarillo-Columbus hop bittering to biscuit wheat-honeyed English pale malting. Witheringly lemon-dropped mandarin orange, tangerine, pineapple and mango tang needs more punch.
YARDS SONS OF BEN BELGIAN PALE ALE
On tap at Benny’s Beer Barrel, ‘rowdy’ pale ale lets subtle candi-sugared Belgian yeast further sweeten tropical mango-peach-pineapple punch above lacquered pine hop oiling, sedate floral notions and pale rye wheat malts. In the backend, phenol lemon-peeled herbage merges with mildly oxidized astringency. Not as untamed as advertised, but enjoyably fruit-juiced.
