BAY STATE BECKY LIKES THE SMELL DOUBLE IPA
“Crushable” East-West IPA maintains sunny floral-spiced tropical fruited tang. Mild lemony grapefruit bittering and zesty orange peel sweetness ride above lightly astringent hop resin (and wispily tannic currant souring) of effervescent golden cleared moderation.
TROEGS LUCKY HOLLER HAZY NEIPA – 2021
“Soft, juicy hazy IPA” evenly spreads tangy orange, pineapple, passionfruit and grapefruit tandem alongside Gummy Bear waxed candy of upgraded Simcoe-Citra-Galaxy-hopped dry body. Beneath the surface, briny pine licks bring mild bittering to pasty cardboard bottom.
BOLERO SNORT ONE HOOF IN FRONT OF THE OTHER – PEACH
On tap at Beef Trust, tempered peach variant lacks enough vanilla-creamed peachiness to overcome sharp grapefruit-orange tang above mild oated wheat base.
FIFTH HAMMER CATCH FRAISE SOUR ALE WITH STRAWBERRY & COCONUT
On tap at Draught Industries, soured pinkish beige Belgian lambic with acidulated pale malting utilizes sweet-tart strawberry adjunct and less effective coconut milking. Hard-candied strawberry souring slowly gains mild citric wisp.
EVIL TWIN DUMB FRUIT 8 1/2
On tap at Taphouse 15, enticingly gunked-up sour ale retains vibrant cherry-berry pureed smoothie creaming. Rampaging sweet ‘n sour hard-candied cherry intensity pleasantly outdoes tangy blackberry, rummy coconut and tart rhubarb illusions. Better than cherry rhubarb pie.
PRAIRIE SLUSH SOUR ALE
Salty lemon-limed strawberry and raspberry puree zesting brings mild acidity to gingery guava-gooseberry souring in semi-slushy scurry.
ASLIN BOOGHINA FRUITED SOUR
On tap at Draught Industries, Sour Patch Kid-like kettle sour brings candied raspberry, lemon, lime and orange tartness to the fore as sugared pink grapefruit tang beckons, retaining mildly salted acidity.
HUDSON VALLEY SILHOUETTE: BRUNCH STYLE SOUR IPA WITH LEMON LIME
On tap at Draught Industries, ‘brunch-styled’ sour IPA lets tart Citra-hopped lemon lime pureed grapefruit and orange zesting gain mildly vinous green grape esters above its raw wheat spine. Sour lemon lime juicing picks up delicate lemongrass herbage.
MUCKRAKER FARMSTAND CUVEE WILD ALE
On tap at Taphouse 15, spontaneously fermented amber reddish-glowed wild ale lets raspberry balsamic vinegaring spread across New Jeersey-harvested peach, blueberry and blackberry fruiting desiccated by leathery green grape esters. Totally sour French wine-tanked cuvee only appealing to the sourest heads.
CASCADE COSMOSAIC BARREL AGED SOUR BLONDE ALE
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, salty lemon-juiced tequila frontage and limey white grape tartness lightly acidify effervescent straw-cleared barrel-aged sour blonde. Citric-pined Mosaic hop zesting stays brisk as soured guava-pineapple-mango-peach medley remains subtle sidling wispy blue agave sweetness over cardboardy pale malting.
OMNIPOLLO BIANCA GUAVA LYCHEEE PASSIONFRUIT LASSI GOSE
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, fabulously tart yogurt-spiced lactic ‘lassi’ with heavy bronzed gold viscosity unites rock-salted lemon-limed tropical fruiting and concentrated orange juicing with vanilla-creamed marshmallow sweetness. Briny guava, lychee and passionfruit adjuncts and mild pineapple-papaya-gooseberry tandem stay zestfully tangy for swaggering fruited gose efficiency. Recommended.
