Beers tend to be much more on the maltier side than most
San Francisco breweries. And the Brittish ale yeast that is used offers a
fruity, malty finish to the beers.
On tap:
West End Wheat -
V.F.W Light -
Playland Pale -
Ocean Beach Oktoberfest -
Fleishhacker Stout -
Belgian Wit - Very light and refreshing wheat
beer. Very phenolic aroma and taste and very cloudy. High
carbonation and light body make this a very refreshing beer. This is a
great example of this style
Belgian Brown - Not much like a typical British Brown
at all. Scott says it's 6.3%, but it tastes a little stronger. It's
brown in color, but it doesn't have the characteristic brown ale flavor
profile. Slightly estery and fruity. Not very phenolic like the
Wit. Belgian Special B malt adds a lot to the taste of this beer.
Belgian Trippel - This is a big 8.9% beer. Estery
and fruity. Slight phenolics. Very nice finishing beer.
Similar in style to a barley wine, but not quite as strong, a little lighter in
body (brown sugar and candi sugar are included in the recipe (that's traditional
Belgian)), and a little more phenolic due to the authentic Belgian yeast.
