New Terrain Brewing Co. Walk in the Parfait

What the brewers say

“Layered with lemon peel, raspberry puree, vanilla, and lactose sugar.”

What our panel thought

“Citrus and berry abound with hints of lemon, grapefruit, raspberry, and blackberry. Semi-firm sour smoothie profile hits the mouth with notes of lemon and light raspberry, with vanilla tying things together. Lactose-driven body and mouthfeel complement berry-forward fruit flavors and temper the acidity.”

What our editors thought

“Sweet on the nose with a vague yet sweet strawberry-lemon note that’s immediately engaging. Sip is not as overpoweringly sweet as the nose suggests. Accessibly decadent.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Decadent Creamery Blackberry Sorbet Gose

“Dark pink pour with an off-pink head. Tart, fresh aroma—ripe blackberries atop blackberry jam with a doughy malt backbone. The fruit overshadows the base beer but delivers on a full flavor explosion. Sweet fruit finish with a touch of astringency and nice level of acidity. Balanced, yet leaning sweet. Simple and well-made.”

TRVE Brewing Co. Meditation is the Practice of Death

Rich fruit character, though not distinctly cherry; also Brett, wood, and earth. Lack of head suggests wine. Oak character adds pleasant light spiciness, with fruit fermentation esters; tart, with berry notes. Subtle yet complex.

Creature Comforts Athena (2019)

“Tart, slightly salty, lemon, and light cracker. The enjoyable lemony notes come across as a ‘grown-folks’ lemonade and could easily get you (and perhaps your toes) in trouble if you attempt to use this as a lawnmower beer. This is distinctively crisp beer is dangerously crushable.”
