Back Alley Brewery Reviews

patrick767	3.1 Back Alley Raspberry Cerveza tap - Hazy pour, one finger head. It has a nice raspberry aroma that makes it immediately obvious that they haven’t gone light on the berries. It’s sweet and fruity, of course, a refreshing beer that’s heavy on the raspberries. Medium bodied. The style isn’t my favorite and some may find it too sweet, but it’s good for what it is.

patrick767	2.2 Back Alley Arribe Cerveza tap - served with a lime. It’s a clear yellow beer with a small white head. Other than the lime obviously, the aroma is mainly grainy malt. It has a sweet, grainy taste. I find it bland and am not a fan, but I suppose it is what it’s intended to be, a beer similar to the Mexican macro lagers though it’s arguably better than most of those beers.

CindyBucci	4.2 Back Alley Street Light Stout This is a dark beer I loved it so much. I enjoyed that it wasnt too heavy. Yet was complex with coffee and Samboca flavors for a stout it was surprisingly not heavy. Tuesday, September 29, 2015
queenholly	2.7 Back Alley Dumpster Double IPA Draft. Apple like malt, citrusy hops aroma. Clear amber with a moderate off-white head. Grainy fruity malt and dry grassy hops flavor. Body on the light side of medium, soft carbonation.

patrick767	3.5 Back Alley Street Light Stout tap - This near black brew with a tan head has a good roasted malt smell with some coffee. The flavor is similar with roasty bitterness and coffee coming through nicely and leading to a mildly bitter finish. It’s medium bodied, on the dry side, and overall pretty tasty.
