Editorial Review for 5 Seasons Brewing – by Talia Houminer
The Scene
Five Seasons is more than a place to knock back beer. An elegant interior beckons with softly lit tables and an expansive dining area. The brewery, visible from the main bar and restaurant, adds a gilded note of coppery class to the swanky establishment.
The Food
The menu, rightfully fawned over by patrons, includes delectable cuisine with dishes from Japan, Germany and America. The grilled pizza tops the list. If you're a daring sort, try the ostrich steak, or satisfy a seafood hankering with the spicy scallops. The local brewery has 13 beers on tap. Try the five-for-five-dollars deal; the small tumblers offer a chance to sample them all. The most popular is the Seven Sisters Munchner, sweet and rich with a malty finish.

First, I found the most lacking element was courteous service. When I enter a pub, especially one not overly busy, I expect to be greeted and asked my pleasure. I found my own way to the bar where there were only 3 or 4 other patrons, yet it took me 10 minutes to get a notice from the lady tending bar. Her replies seemed grudging and perfunctory, usually replying over her shoulder while walking away. It left me feeling unwelcome. I finally gave up trying to either ask her questions or give her orders. But I came for the beer, and this is what the review is about, right? Here are my impressions: Copperhead ESB: Not an ESB. Lacking in almost every English character. Overly hopped with Cascade and so stuffed with caramel malts that it tasted like a Sugar Daddy dipped in pine tar. Festbier: Their Oktoberfest offering was lacking in any melanoidin richness and had a strong soapy character and evident dicetyl notes. Perhaps it was forced and hasn't lagered long enough or maybe I just got a glass that hadn't had the dish soap rinsed off. Helles: Finally a beer to style with strong Tettanang hop bite and just the right low malt breadiness and a slight melanoidin richness. Slight astringency in the finish. Their most mainstream beer, but a nice example. Tripel: Not on the menu, never offered to me, but she poured it from a secondary set of taps and I spotted her doing it, so asked for a sample. 15 minutes later I got one. I shouldn't have bothered. It had a strong orange aroma, like Tang, and the flavor was of sour honey with distinct fusel high alcohols. Dark and still too sweet for the style. I didn't even finish my 1 ounce taster. I also had the calamari appetizer. A cereal bowl of calamari was $10 and 75% of the bowl is filled with fried onion bits. I had been planning on eating dinner here, but bailed after just the appetizer. It would have cost me at least $50 to eat here if I had a salad and an entree.
Pros: Plenty of parking, nice outdoor patio
Cons: Smokers stand by the front door, bartender can't be bothered with questions
