Offbeat Citra-hopped pale yellowed Berliner weisse retains dryly salted grapefruit tartness, tannic green grape esters and zippy lemony pineapple tang unexpectedly usurped by highly acidic concentrated lime powdering (and cedar pencil shavings) to contrast milk-sugared vanilla/marshmallow sweetness over delicate lactobacillus-bound white wheat base.
Rich “Imperial French Toast Stout” aged in bourbon maple syrup barrels contrasts burly bourbon chocolate influence and Cassia-barked cinnamon sugaring with mild dried fruited souring and dry vanilla tannins. Wispy burgundy, rum and anise licks stick to treacly maple-syrupy bourbon mocha finish.
Easygoing clear straw double dry-hopped IPA collaboration with Hoof Hearted utilizes limey pink guava and grapefruit adjuncts for clean entry. Slight gin-soaked agave influence adds to the well hidden 8.5% ABV.
Soothing caramelized chocolate fudging relegates medium roast coffee bittering and mild vanilla creaming of well-rounded full body (brewed at Great South Bay). Coffee-vanilla theme continually loses out to cocoa-dried dark chocolate malting while bitter Blackstrap molasses-coated wood char gains access.
On tap at Morris Tap & Grill, tart gooseberry pep, zesty lemon briskness and tangy tangerine-pineapple-mango sweetness inform orange neon-hazed New England-styled India Pale Ale. Ripe citrus entry gains dank earthen musk and peppery snip over biscuity malts.
On tap at Beef Trust, easygoing yellow-marbled moderation leads with its pine-combed yellow grapefruit tang and tart lemon spritz. Limey gooseberry-passionfruit-guava-dried Nelson Sauvin hops, sour green grape tannins and vodka-tinged juniper nip coddle lactic milk-sugared pale malts.
Bone-dry, rosé-wined, ‘hot pink’ gose brings vinous lemon-salted green grape souring to subtle hibiscus tartness, leaving sparkling rosé reminder. Pink sea-salted citrus rind bittering gains mild cranberry pucker and acidic raspberry vinaigrette tinge upped by lactobacillus saison yeast.
On tap at Taphouse 15, easygoing beige yellow-hazed pale ale pairs perfumed yellow grapefruit tanginess with musky hop-oiled astringency, slowly gaining mandarin orange, tangerine and pineapple illusions above sweet grain malt bottom.
