Brooklyn “Local 1” Ale (New York) – Heavy Belgian-style spice-weight; Herbert’s “mélange” made drinkable, without the creepy fortune-telling. Like so many domestic versions of this style – I feel like I’ve written this before – it lacks complexity, though there’s so much power and swagger that it almost makes up for its subtler deficiencies.
