PIPEWORKS LUCKY CAT ALE WITH STRAWBERRY AND HIBISCUS

PIPEWORKS/ TIRED HANDS MARILIME LAW NINJA DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, easygoing moderate-to-medium body brewed with juicy lime zest (in collaboration with Pennsylvania’s Tired Hands) retains briskly clean profile. Limey lemon-peeled pineapple, grapefruit and mango tang caresses mild dry-wooded Simcoe-Amarillo hop bittering and sugary pale malt spine.
HILL FARMSTEAD SUSAN
On tap at Ambulance, beautifully effervescent India Pale Ale lets bright floral-bound fruit juicing and spicy caramel malting contrast dank piney hop resin.

Velvety smooth and highly effervescent moderate-to-medium-bodied nectar of the gods.

MAUI MANGO HEFEWEIZEN
