DARK CITY CHARRETTE BELGIAN IPA
On tap at Biggie’s, brusque orange-peeled piney hop bittering and peppery herbal respite contrast candi-sugared Belgian yeast above caramelized rye malting. Floral tea notions and lightly vinous grape esters sit across sweet lemon custard, orange marmalade and white peach tones. Sharp hop bite never relents.
THREES CHRONIC MYOPIA INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, bright pineapple-candied grapefruit and orange tanginess as well as crisp lemon zest override creamy caramel malting. Coniferous pine-candied freshness consumes light dry-hopped citric bittering. Thankfully nowhere near as short-sighted as its moniker snickeringly suggests.

SARANAC GEN IV SESSION IPA

PERENNIAL WHITE IMPALA INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, fine witbier-influenced moderation brings mildly tangy tropical fruiting and tannic grape tartness to light white wheat backdrop of IPA hybrid.

BARRIER / PRISON CITY BUG JUICE LACTOSE INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, sterling lactose-affected IPA brings lightly acidic lemon juicing to tangy yellow grapefruit entry and candied peach-pineapple-tangerine tartness in crisply clean setting. Zesty grapefruit sunniness lingers as resinous hemp-oiled hop bittering gently seeps into delicate pine lacquer of mild sour ale hybrid.
INDUSTRIAL ARTS WRENCH IPA
On tap at Growler & Gill, tantalizingly tropical soft-tongued Northeast IPA stays in the groove. Elegant floral-spiced peach, pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit, mango and orange tang gains piney spruce remnant to contrast mildly creamed cotton-candied crystal malts above relaxing oats-dried spine. In the can, zesty lemon-limed grapefruit and orange tang receives pineapple-candied tartness, sweet-spiced floral whims, yogurt-soured passionfruit-guava snips and mild pine resin.
