Half Acre Beer Company Lager Town Oktoberfest

Red Orange opaque amber with yellow orange top. Sea dragons and pretzels waltz, bowing backwards among stylized skeletal equines turned high contrast with melting mantis head ambivalence latencies. Dried apricot and pineapple honey breadsticks with capers, lime, lemon twist and hazelnut aromas. Strong lemon influence on the entry shows points of grapefruit pith and a lovely roundness suggestive of rosemary and dietary yeast.
Intense and lovely Oktoberfest offering.

Toppling Goliath Munich Weiss Hefeweizen Ale.

Marigold and antique gold assemblage. Bubbly, ropy cloud cover. Bear paw print lacing to ursine spoor torpedoes. Strong nose of yeast with ammoniac aura, lime is the citrus bulls eye. Lemon zest on whole wheat. Citrus mouthful! Very lemon with white grapefruit and bitter orange. Clove and cinnamon bring the bark. None of the softness of the wheat, but a sour and lovely excursion on the citric parameters.

Urban Artifact ‘Jack’ Pumpkin Pie American Fruit Tart

Sour Apple core radiates from inside a flaky crust. Cinnamon and mace, nutmeg and pumpkin pie spices conspire to keep this tasty and dessert style despite mouth puckering sour and fierce acidity. Really delicious, but one may be enough for the spooky season.

Elysian Phaze Dust Imperial Hazy IPA
Golden to antique-gold base, loopy head of white reflecting said. Galactic nebulae suggesting horse heads in clover beds. Banana and pineapple lead the tropical bouquet with marigold and cherry side swipes. Orange, lemon, tangerine, lime and sticky nettle inundates. Lively mouthfeel marries the piney bits to the lemon and adds grapefruit in abundance, stinging the taste buds, and blinding them to the supernovae of lime and lemongrass and green mango to follow. There is cantaloupe bobbing like a rogue planet in the cosmic soup, and seed-bitter citrus background radiation, but the core of pineapple remains. Nice interstellar sojourn.

Epic Brewing Munich Mayhem Märzen Style Lager

Cognac-red amber, yellowed white leather head. Freaky-peaky, tall caldera lacing that devolves into strobe light angler fish trajectories. Arachno-ocular leavings. Glycerin soap nose, lemon, quince, pink grapefruit banana artichoke and cranberry. Frog eyes forming from the primordial soup. Cream-Coffee-soft, breaded and tender orange-pomelo on the half shell. Leather. Liquid Social Distortion.

Twelve Percent, Eredita Fest Bier North Haven, CT

Opaque pineapple colored body. Frosty topping. Seabirds and slingshots lacings. Über-clean nose of lemon lime and a drop of grapefruit. Quince and starfruit entry, and the grapefruit wrestling malt. Zesty lemon tops the bread element next to milked oats.

A color resembling five alive. 0range-beige wet plaster-textured head with falling leaves lacing. Evocative nose of tropical pineapple, lime, tangerine, pink grapefruit, mango, papaya. Creamy mouthfeel with razz-y bite-y parts. Earthy orange-chocolate, ginger root, savory, sarsparilla, nutmeg, tarragon. A feast of cornucopic proportion. Malty and strong. This one really toasts the bony quantum nave. Dare I say ‘it’s money!’

Fat Orange Cat Cautionary Tail Pumpkin Ale. North Haven, CT

Brown and flinty orange body has a coffee with cream head that loosely rises. Drawn and quartered lacing has bubble eyed ghosts and barn owl faces in an appropriate nod. Warm and cozy comfort spices rise from sweet potatoes, maple syrup, brown sugar and butter cauldrons, while spider eyes blink and pop on a wisp of fog as stringy as Spanish moss. The head is gone like the last gasp of an autumn tree, and the gourd ascends. Cinnamon sticks and nutmeg creak in the vestiges of twilight. Only darkness now. Roasted pecan, burnt brown sugar, toffee and treacle, crowned by a full moon scoop of vanilla cream.

Parrish Brewing Co. Oktoberfest
Red amber to blended Scotch whiskey colored. Skyward reaching lake driftwood lacing. Dark honey, orange zest bread, cinnamon wood, ripe apple nose. Lemon lip punch from a whole wheat frozen dough, cream soda, root beer drops, and a nano-kiss of ginger. Sweetness is present, but stays in check.

Color somewhere between Mountain Dew and vegetable broth. Low density head of space-white with a yellow-green tinge. Horned owls and kissing fish lacing die-cuts to crowns bejeweled by bubbles. Tropical pudding of lime and pineapple-tangerine, banana and lemon sugar. Coconut and mango afterthoughts. Power punch palate entry. Eucalyptus wood intimations, toasty sesame with lemon zest, pith and seed. Toasted coconut says ‘hello’, and ‘remember me?’salinity infuses the betel nut, nutmeg and allspice whispers, and the whole is well-integrated as Founder’s is fond. I lean toward impeccable, but I go with impressive.
