On tap at Ambulance, murky sour-meshed pale malting, white-wined Hallertau Blanc hop tannins and faint Ethiopian coffee adjunct never fully integrate. Spritzy lemon licks and rustic floral herbage add further confusion.

SIERRA NEVADA HELLES IN THE TROPICS
Easygoing summertime helles bock combines zesty lemon, juicy orange, tart pineapple, salted guava and spiced peach tropicalia over dry pale malt breading, retaining proper Euro hop astringency (and peppery herbal wisp).
TWO ROADS CRUISE CONTROL LAGER
On tap at Growler & Gill, ‘easy riding’ aluminum-cleared helles lager brings tart lemon-dropped green grape esters and mild orange oiling to grassy herbal hop restraint above musky wet-grained sourdough breading.
FORT MYERS CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PORTER
On tap at 3.14 Pi, decadent Reese’s Pieces peanut butter candy bar likeness is uncanny. Richly bittersweet dark chocolate syruping coats creamy peanut buttering as minor hop char subsides. A superfine nutty chocolate dessert.
FORT MYERS FAIRWAY FINDER SESSION IPA
On tap at 3.14 Pi, easygoing clear golden moderation places serene grapefruit, pineapple and orange tang alongside resinous grassy hop astringency and dry pale malts. A pleasant, if slight, crossover for pale ale imbibers.
FORT MYERS SAND LOAFER PALE WHEAT ALE
On tap at 3.14 Pi, soft-toned citric vanilla sweetness hovers above sugared wheat malting. Caramelized citrus zesting picks up Graham Crackered vanilla wafer splurge at brisk finish.
TWO HENRYS JALAPENO BLUEBERRY PORTER
On tap at 3.14 Pi, creamy dark chocolate syruping drapes tartly pureed blueberry sweetness before mild jalapeno peppering gains slight assertion. Latent cocoa, coffee and crème brulee undertones strengthen mocha authority alongside raspy blueberry decisiveness for richly textured dessert treat.
3 DAUGHTERS BIMINI TWIST IPA
Unbalanced and nebulous taste-wise, sour-honeyed apricot and orange staleness greets equally mired glutenous cheese-clothed wet grain pungency, dankly resinous pine musk and deadened dark floral snips.
SIERRA NEVADA HAZY LITTLE THING IPA
Sunnily hazed medium-bodied India Pale Ale brings zesty grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering to resinous grassy hop astringency, crystal malt sugaring and floral hibiscus wisps. Tertiary mango, guava and papaya tropicalia adds further zestful charm.
7VENTH SUN GRAFFITI ORANGE WHEAT ALE
Creamsicle-styled wheat ale coalesces lemony orange zest with vanilla-sugared cream soda sweetness and honeyed wheat malts, leaving wispy peach-pineapple fruiting in the back end. Minor milk-soured lactic acidity contrasts orange-candied vanilla creaming. A tad less convincing than stylishly similar Bolero Snort OVB or Bonesaw Double Vanilla Cream.
GRIMM COFFEE COCONUT ICING ON THE CAKE IMPERIAL MILK STOUT
Luxuriously detailed ‘Icing’ offshoot unites rich milk-sugared coffee creaming with toasted coconut sweetness and vanilla bean bittering. Chewy cookie-doughed black chocolate syrup drapes engaging coffee-coconut-vanilla conflux, leaving ancillary fudged brownie, Black Forest cake, molasses toffee and bourbon illusions in its wake alongside latent anise spicing.
PRAIRIE OH! FUDGE
On tap at Ambulance, rich brown chocolate syruping enhances fudged brownie entry. Chewy cookie dough malting gains toffee, vanilla and cocoa sweetness as well as wispy burgundy, bourbon and cinnamon(?) snips. Fine fudgy dessert fodder.
