Foregoing usual piney citrus IPA route, tropical juicy-fruited moderation goes for subtler adjuncts such as passionfruit and guava to make a delicate mark alongside its bittersweet mandarin orange tang. Sharp lemon-limed grapefruit rind bittering stays recessive as crisply clean Hawaiian Islander retains indigenous guava-passionfruit splendor over mildly peaty mineral graining.
STONE GHOST HAMMER IPA
Divergent li’l IPA refrains from typical fruited pine styling for milder sourdough-like Challah breading. Subdued floral-spiced fruitiness lingers with lemony orange-candied pineapple and peach wisps. Thin and pallid up-front, retaining pleasingly sweet baguette resonance and musty grain seepage.
FLYING DOG SINGLE HOP LEMONDROP IMPERIAL IPA
Propagated lemony mint and green tea illusions relinquish mild lemondrop hop tartness for surprisingly hefty 8% ABV India Pale Ale. Sunny lemon resilience gains bright mango, papaya and mandarin orange juicing above biscuity pale malt base.
DOGFISH HEAD LUPU-LUAU IPA
On tap at Growler & Gill, sharp ‘lupulin-loaded’ coconut-centric IPA lets brisk orange-peeled mango, pineapple, grapefruit and peach tang override dehydrated coconut water adjunct and parched wood snip above dry barley-flaked oats. Toasted coconut midst loses potency and weird floral-cologned waft appears while citric bittering ascends.
LONG TRAIL GREEN BLAZE IPA
Delicate lemony orange-peeled grapefruit tang gains mild pine resin and herbal hop resilience in soft-toned fashion for brisk copper-hazed medium body, staying crisp and clean. Tertiary sugar-spiced pineapple, tangerine, peach and mango illusions flutter.
FINBACK IPA
Refreshingly tropical mid-range India Pale Ale retains precision balance. Brisk grapefruit, mango, orange, tangerine, mango, pineapple and peach tanginess flirts with zesty lemon spritz and sweet floral bouquet. Mild coniferous spruce pining seeps into restrained dank hop bittering contrasting its delightfully fruit-juiced piquancy.
FINBACK DOUBLE SESS WHEAT BEER WITH SPICES
Stylishly departing witbier endears spritzy lemon zest with dainty floral-cologne spicing, mild ginger-leafed Szechuan peppercorn heat, latent banana-vanilla sweetness and desiccated orange tartness for sessionably wide-ranging moderation. Prickly carbolic luster simmers down for sugary nutmeg-cardamom-clove conflux and tempered rosemary-sage-hibiscus herbage to reach the surface.   
NEWBURGH RODEO FROWN SAISON
On tap at Poor Henry’s, rustic grisette-styled saison brings wheat-malted oats and spelt barnyard acridity to lightly dry-hopped citric subtleties and floral-spiced lemongrass herbage, leaving a trace of grass along the way.
RUSHING DUCK ZINGERBIER GINGER
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, ginger-rooted lemon souring anchors mild Berliner Weiss. Tart lemon-limed dryness and wispy green grape esters bring sour-candied tingle to dry salt-pinched carbolic spritz.
FOUNDERS GREEN ZEBRA WATERMELON GOSE
On tap at Taphouse 15, distinct soft-tongued gose brings watermelon-candied juiciness to the fore like no other beer before it. Light lemonade pucker resides directly behind lingering sea-salted watermelon taffy tartness. A sweet ‘n sour moderation that’s a Jolly Rancher alternative.
THE BRUERY TERREUX FRUCHT: PASSIONFRUIT
On tap at Ambulance, vinegary oak-aged Berliner weisse will please sour heads. Moderately vinous lemon-juiced green grape tartness and earthen dry wood tones gain mild raspberry vinaigrette pucker. Delicate cranberry, pomegranate and Granny Smith apple illusions stay distant.
PEEKSKILL ROLL ‘EM EASY PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, clean summertime moderation brings mild orange-grapefruit-tangerine tang to modest herbal hop astringency and dry pale malting in crisp manner.
