On tap at Ambulance, sweet-tart Valentine’s Day elixir spiked with baked donuts. Chocolate-covered strawberry entry picks up sweet toffee subtlety and light roast coffee snip above soft wheat-flaked oats. Distant strawberry shortcake, chocolate fondue and dark cherry puree illusions waver. Needs richer mocha insistence.

LONE PINE BLUEBERRY SPARKLER AMERICAN SOUR
On tap at Taphouse 15, purplish red-cleared fruited sour retains lemony blueberry tartness for gin-fizzed sparkling champagne tonic. Salty pomegranate-cranberry bittering and modest juniper licks waver alongside pureed blueberry wining.
LONE PINE DREAM TEAM DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, spritzy lemon-candied leads the way for juicy fruited Galaxy-Citra-Mosaic hop zesting as sharply wooded Amarillo-Simcoe hop dryness adds contrast. Ripened peach, pineapple, orange and tangerine tanginess gains mild peppery herbage and wispy spiced currant tartness at the durable finish.
LONE PINE SAPPHIRE UNICORN
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, less quirkily distinct than advertised ‘coconut rum tiki cocktail,’ this Diamond Unicorn antecedent reveals a more conventional NEIPA prototype. Mellow yellow grapefruit bittering and milder papaya-mango-guava tropicalia quietly step forth above setback earthen pine tones.
LONE PINE PORTLAND PALE ALE
Classic off-dry flagship retains clean pale malt-spiced orange tang , grassy hop astringency and resinous herbal whim. Wispy peach, mango and tangerine illusions add further brisk zesting to perfectly centrist, yet stylishly bold, West Coast pale ale.
