BURLINGTON BEER PEASANT KING DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE

BURLINGTON BEER ELABORATE METAPHOR
Prominent Citra-hopped yellow grapefruit sunshine gets bitterer as dankly pined Amarillo hop dryness and whiskeyed peating absorb oats-flaked raw wheat spine of well-balanced New England-styled pale ale. At the midst, limey passionfruit souring contrasts honeydew-peach-pineapple sweetness and salted mango snip before floral-daubed herbage surfaces at the zestfully dry citrus-glazed finish.
STILLWATER / TIRED HANDS SMOKING BUDDIES DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Beef Trust, handy citrus-juiced NEIPA (aged ever so lightly on cedar chips) retains clean-as-glass vodka icing. Sweet orange peel zesting picks up tart lemon curd buttering, salted grapefruit piquancy and yogurt-milked green grape, passionfruit and gooseberry souring in ethyl 8% ABV setting.
RARE FORM TROY DIVISION
Murkily beige clouded NEIPA lifts lemon lime-soured grapefruit, mango and pineapple salting above heavily lactose-aided wheated oats. Setback vanilla creaming imbibes increasing citrus bittering, allowing some iodized salinity to bleed phenolic acidity into the richly milked textural clutter.

TWO ROADS PARTY CAKE PASTRY CREAM ALE
As luxuriously colorful as a Rainbow party cake, well-designed confectionery liquid pastry fills its center with flour-sugared vanilla buttercream as spiced rum persistence contrasts bitterly zestful citrus zing. But it’s sweet side wins out as dazzling white chocolate, marshmallow, vanilla cake, lemon cake, Banana’s Foster and flaked coconut illusions detail this experimentally hybridized ‘Area Two Series’ cream ale.
TWO ROADS CHERRY QUAD
Heady hard-candied cherry tartness flaunts candi-sugared dark rum spicing and grenadine-like pomegranate syruping in sticky medicinal setting. Whiskeyed cherry midst gains whimsical sugared fig, yellow raisin and cranberry snips as spritzy soda fizz tickles chewy cherry-pureed Belgian yeast foundation.
JERSEY GIRL KING GAMBRINUS TRIPEL
Unconventional tripel retains richly textured expansive flavor profile. Creamy vanilla-daubed dried fruiting gains Chardonnay-buttered Vermouth respite and herbal white-peppered chamomile swipe as banana bread, bruised orange, lemon meringue, candied peach and pineapple lollipop dollops kick back cider souring.
