On tap at Growler & Gill, tartly tangy blood orange adjunct receives daintily sweet agave syruping above sugared pale malts. Polite piney hop bittering and candied grapefruit-tangerine subtleties complement blood orange misting.

O’CONNOR/ THREE NOTCH’D 40 MILE TO THE BORDER AGAVE IPA
Interestingly hybridized Virginia-based collaboration combines herbal-spiced O’Connor El Guapo Agave IPA with juicy-fruited Three Notch’d 40 Mile IPA. Mild agave nectar sweetness suits zesty citric-hopped profile and honeyed caramel malting. Sweetly soured orange-rotted lemon bruise overruns wispy El Dorado-hopped mango-papaya-guava balm. But unusual peculiarities abound as gluey plasticine grouting leads to cloying aspertame gumming at citric-spiced finish.
O’CONNOR EL GUAPO AGAVE IPA
Nifty India Pale Ale offshoot uses blue agave sugaring to set up sweet melon-nectar lead-in, sour mango-guava tropicalia and bitter lemony grapefruit-orange peel subtlety. Delicate soft-watered floral hop serenity provides elegant backup.
