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.
BRIX CITY LITTLE DIPSTER PALE ALE
On tap at Poor Henry’s, mellow moderation’s gently fruited Mosaic hop scheme, light wet-grained herbal musk, distant lemon custard tartness and celery-watered cleansing define modern hop-designed pale ale styling.

GUINNESS RYE PALE ALE
Scattering “rustic” grain-toasted rye malting across undefined Americanized Mosaic-Cascade hop spicing and tart peach influence, Irish-brewed moderate-medium body lacks bite of better overseas competition. Enjoyed cracked pepper bread aftertaste, though.
HALF FULL WITHIN REACH PEACH WHEAT ALE
On tap at Growler & Gill, syrupy peach lacquering sits lightly above mineral-grained honeyed wheat spine for fruity corn-sugared summertime ’17 limited release.

SAMUEL ADAMS TROPIC OF YUZU
“Exotic and juicy” mandarin orange-like yuzu fruiting wispily affects soft-tongued frothily creamed easygoing smoothie. Ginger-honeyed lime, kiwi, guava and papaya undertones confirm lightly floral-herbed yuzu juicing.
OSKAR BLUES FUGLI YUZU & UGLI FRUIT IPA
Jubilant Japanese and Jamaican citrus fruits combine for summery Mosaic hop attack. Sunnily brisk lemon-juiced yuzu exotica and zesty tangerine-grapefruit ugli influence sit atop French breaded bottom. Brisk orange, pineapple, peach, mango and papaya tropicalia contrasts juniper-nipped blueberry souring.
