BRIX CITY MILFORD SOUND DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE

Thickly milked beige-yellowed turbidity, frothy whipped cream head and limey New Zealand-hopped tropicalia embrace charmingly bold IPA. Stylishly rich but endlessly approachable, its lemony yellow grapefruit zest serenely coalesces with juicy pineapple, passionfruit, mango and melon rind pleasantries, leaving mild piney residue on the tranquil oats spine. Perfect hazy IPA.

TAYLOR & SONS BIG RED DOUBLE IPA

Sharp floral citrus spicing gains tart lemon spritz above dry wood-toned hops and caramelized toasted amber graining. Lightly embittered grapefruit, tangy orange and sweet tangerine pick up softly lingered phenol astringency at the finish for rocky tan-headed amber reddish collaboration between three respected Saratoga area brewers (Taylor & Sons, Racing City and Northway).

CZIG MEISTER TREATY BETWEEN EARTH & MAN IMPERIAL SAISON

On tap at Hoover’s, brisk lemon spritz and lively grapefruit-orange zesting encounter trusty banana daiquiri, peach, pineapple and mango illusions atop sweet wheat base. Dry barnyard acridity stays setback as spry citrus zest spreads out. On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead – Hoboken, sensational Imperial Saison (with bullish 8.5% ABV) lets honey-sweetened tropical fruiting contrast herbal pleasantries to its salty bottom. Sugared grapefruit, pineapple and mango tang keeps it sweeter than usual saison fare. Recommended.
