PEEKSKILL WHEELS OF STEEL
On tap at The Oath, mild brettanomyces acidity funks up lightly spiced citrus pleasantry and distant juniper snip of moderate pale ale. Soft, fuzzy, sessionable.
BRONX SUMMER PALE ALE
On tap at Growler & Gill, light-bodied ‘poolside’ pale ale spiked with zesty lemon peel masquerades as lemonade/beer-concocted Radler hybrid. Lemony grapefruit-orange tartness ensues, riding atop musky lemongrass-herbed hop resin and daintily dry whole-grained pale malting.
BRAVEN VIBES SUMMER ALE
On tap at The Oath, spritzy lemon-limed summertime pale ale stays soft and subtle as gentle hop spicing picks up crisp cucumber watering. Tertiary grapefruit peach and orange illusions barely register.
JACK’S ABBY BLOOD ORANGE WHEAT
On tap at Growler & Gill, tart blood orange adjunct and earthen grain musk perks up dry radler-styled light lager. Mildly spiced lemon spritz as well as peach-pitted pink grapefruit, mandarin orange, rose petal and tangelo illusions flutter by baked breaded white wheat backbone. Juicy blood orange template stays subtle yet continuous.
GREAT DIVIDE ROADIE GRAPEFRUIT RADLER
Top-grade soda-beer combo reveals juicy grapefruit permanence that gains sweet orange peel drift and crisply carbolic 7Up-like lemon lime sugaring. Zesty morning sunshine.
CAPTAIN LAWRENCE HOPS N’ ROSES AGED IN OAK BARRELS
On tap at Growler & Gill, politely oak barreled wild ale utilizes mild rose hips, elderflower and hibiscus adjuncts to engage lightly vinous red wining, tart lemon snicker and musky honeysuckle trickle. Tertiary floral-daubed herbal tea illusions sneak thru winy tannins.
OMMEGANG PALE SOUR ALE
Elegant pale yellow-cleared moderation (in collaboration with Belgium’s famous Liefman) forwards white-wined lemon rot musk to lemongrass-salted citric hop stead and tart grapefruit curdling above mild sourdough respite. Sour lemon-limed yogurt finish fades quick.
THREES SHORT FUSE SMOKED HELLES
On tap at Ambulance, abstruse foudre-fermented helles lager combines reserved vanilla-sugared marshmallow sweetness with mild tropical fruiting above subtly smoked pale malt dryness. Foudre casking adds ever-so-slight toasted wood parch.
VICTORY HOME GROWN AMERICAN LAGER
Elusive clear golden pale lager with modest intentions. Mildly spiced lemondrop spritz tingles cereal grained carapils malting and alkaline astringency. Sedate Mosaic-Cascade-Citra-Chinook hop influence checkmarks unspecific citric-spiced neutrality.
NIGHT SHIFT NITE LITE
On tap at The Oath, microbrewed lite lager works well as stylishly distinct alternative to Bud-Coors-Miller fodder. Mild wet grain musk surfaces alongside rice-watered corn malts, subtle lemon spicing and delicate grassy hop astringency and directly above wheat-dried cracker base. In the can, corn-starched grain musk and perfumed hop lemon spritz rise to surface.
DOUBLE NICKEL LAID-BACK LAGER
Inexpressive blue collar fodder lacks advertised ‘sweet melon’ influence. Unassuming orange-dried lemon bruise and murky vegetal musk gain sour splurge.
