RUSHING DUCK DIVIDED BY ZERO IMPERIAL SESSION PALE BLACK IPA

Snickering misnomers include Imperial styling and ‘black’ hue, but not ‘sessionable’ appeal. Instead, this here’s a golden-strawed West Coast-styled India Pale Ale with tropical citra-mosaic hop bite and light pilsner malting. Pleasant yellow grapefruit tartness picks up lemony pineapple, mango, orange and tangerine tang. Light resinous pine bittering contrasts honeyed citrus sweetness.

UPRIGHT SIX

Busily complex ‘dark rye saison’ hybrid plies dried fruiting to molasses rye breading, mild peppery hop bittering and light peat-smoked malts. Sugared fig, plum and raisin spicing gains tart cherry smidge. Subtle tobacco-leafed crisping, clean mineral graining and scorched earth dirtiness backup marvelously schizoid farmhouse ale.
