Deep ruby shimmering with purple glints. Nose of rose and pomegranate with red plum, raspberry allspice and fired ceramic. Black cherry initially on the palate turns red and concentrates to a pomegranate purity. Red licorice swims in soft cinnamon, and a feather of cedar. Underneath lurks dark power, suggesting sloe berry, cassis, a mineral boysenberry paprika and white pepper.

Abomination Brewing Trick or Treat Imperial Pumpkin Stout thick and viscous black with reddish he’ll-hues. Gingerbread hued head leaves the scene quickly. Shark’s maw sandhill lacing devolves to cartoon bones. Ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and cedar nose. Bright ginger and candied grapefruit entry, nibby bits of unsweetened chocolate and black strap molasses. Burnt sugar mated with malts. Clove and nutmeg follow. Long deep and dark haunting finish. Enter the void!

Plantain and lemon verbena. Corn muffin with jalapeño, lemon pith, chive and white grapefruit peel. Powerhouse citrus rush and laser lemon oil expression. Yeasty entry proves feint-worthy as it tightens to key lime and complex lemon pulp iteration, tangerine pulp, unripe pineapple. Rich as madeleine at moments, then racy citrus and pith-dry to finish.

Green Bench Brewing Festbier Lager
St Peterersburg Florida
Nearly opaque and hazy lager in a gummy bear yellow with peeled banana head. And Turkish tile lacing and pull-away stick insects. Light pineapple glow nose around salted lemon dinner roll with tangerine soft zest. Refreshing citrus finish. Fest-ive!

Tight, tannic but decidedly pleasant with its grippy-ness. Black cherry, cassis, black plum and smoky tobacco. Power punch up front and finesse on the finish after some decant.

3Daughters Vagabond IPA
Bready pretzel tinged in tart lime and savory but not harsh. Very enjoyable beer sporting a zesty lemon against breadstick for a classic style without overhopping. Great!

2013. Dark presence with violet-black from edge to end. Unctious. El Capitan tears with solar flare outcroppings linear paralleling across the cliff face. Lovely mushroom and earth interplay here with blackberry bourgeoning and black olive wisps. Forêt Noir leanings with brittle and toffee behind a curious veil of grill smoke. Palate is met with a rush of intense flavor, warm dark chocolate and raw nib, concentrated black cherry, cedar, blackberries and red currant, ripe blackberry, licorice, tobacco, and a drop of treacle. Wild resonance! Flavor permanences.

Pale golden hued, exhibiting a white rose bouquet, marigold, lemon verbena, sage and lemon pith. Perfect mousse lets palate show lemon zest, orange essence and rounder tangerine while carrying yeasty core throughout. Brilliantly complex and impeccably crafted.

Fat Head’s Brewing Oktoberfest Bavarian-Style Festbier
Golden to Orange Amber with cigarette paper colored head of tight bubbularity. Crackled shell lacing dissolves to stylized hop on its side, ice rink automaton hexagon shatter. Nose shows orange-citrus -lemon bread notes with a yeasty coating. Palate is brassy and lemon zesty, malty droplet breadstick. Solid Festbier offers so much and all of it just what you want. Fantastic.

Florida Avenue Lumi Hazy IPA
Pineapple-cocoanut nose with tangerine and candied grapefruit. Balanced grapefruit and pineapple on the palate.; hint of cherry. Good stuff from the west-ish. Lime and lemon pudding finish
