Snazzily updated easygoing ‘hazy’ IPA (utilizing multiple fruited hops circa 2025) sweeps juicy tangerine puree thru mellow pineapple zesting, gaining mellow yellow grapefruit bittering atop mildly creamed oats base.
STONE TANGERINE EXPRESS HAZY IPA
AURORA SWISHIN’ N DISHIN’ NEIPA
On tap at Ambulance, soft-toned New England styled IPA (honoring Knicks legend Walt Frazier) lets light oated creaming delicately await clean cryo Citra-hopped yellow grapefruit and orange pith bittering as well as laidback floral-spiced herbage.
DROWNED LANDS TERRA BLANC DOUBLE IPA
Soft-toned New Zealand hop-influenced Imperial IPA utilizes Cryo Citra-hopped Sauvignon Blanc grape must to gleamingly tweak brisk yellow grapefruit-seeded lemon zesting, sweet orange peel tanginess and light floral spicing. Distant ‘mango, lychee, peach and nectarine’ illusions punctuate the sweet end while tart lemon verbena piquancy slips thru lightly vanilla creamed oated wheat sugaring. Superb!
NORTH PARK / BRUJOS BRUJO-FU! WEST COAST IPA
Sunny yellow grapefruit and lemon pith bittering receive ethyl-like 6.6% ABV thrust as herbal tea earthiness and dry wood bottom secure collaborative West Coast IPA. Heavenly floral-wafted citrus stead gains latent pineapple-guava tropicalia and light crayon waxing.
ARISTAEUS SUMMER SPLASH HEFEWEIZEN
Summery hefe loads zesty lemon spritz atop white wheat base as stylish banana-clove sweetness takes back seat to sunny citric splash.
RAR OUT OF ORDER: THAT’S MY JAM STRAWBERRY
Pronounced jammy strawberry tartness receives lactose souring as unique chocolate-covered pretzel riff and pie-crusted wheat flouring enter the fray. Radical peanut butter-jellied continuance gains sugary jellybean indulgence and distant raspberry-blueberry-boysenberry smear.
ARTIFACT INSIDE MY HEAD SAISON AGED IN OAK W/ PEACHES
Vinous mixed culture sour saison aged in oak lets lemon-juiced green grape esters slink and tart white peach fuzz into acidulated wheat base.
BERKSHIRE RASPBERRY BARLEYWINE
Delightfully expressive fruited barleywine permeates invigorating raspberry puree thrust with sticky caramelized red cherry candied glaze. In the plush midst, figgy raisin-plum scrum, dark rum swirl and light whiskey snips receive medicinal cherry alcohol burn. Chewy molasses-sugared caramel center thickens tartly sweet raspberry jam continuance (with slight raspberry rhubarb pie twinge). A resplendent dessert-styled variant.
BERKSHIRE MAIBOCK LAGER
Spectral sweet-spiced red and orange fruiting plus honeyed rum splash lacquered by sticky caramelized malts. Candied apple glaze, sugary tangerine caking, candied orange tartness and red grape tang perk up richly creamed maibock.
BAD SONS CONN ALE EAST COAST PALE ALE
Sessionable red-orange-yellow fruited East Coast-styled pale ale sashays mild orange peeled grapefruit rind bittering across briny mango-guava-papaya snips and peachy quince and pear whims. Its gluey yeast sinew, mildly oats sugared creaming and springtime floral spicing combine for a maibock-like finish.
WILD EAST MODERANCE
On tap at Ambulance, fine English-styled pub ale not unlike English special bitter or mossier pale lager. Crisp tobacco roast leads dewy peat, earthen resin and herbal hops into crusty bread base, nearly hiding dried orange musk.
WILD EAST LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, crisp ‘adjunct’ lager slips pilsner-malted white rice and flaked corn past lightly herbal Saaz hops before spritzy lemon fizz enlivens the midst before slight cabbage musk flutters. Almost stylishly kolsch-like.
