OTHER HALF MOTUEKA PALE ALE

On tap at Ambulance, mild-mannered pale ale spreads aromatic citric-pined Cascade hop bittering across the floral tropicality of New Zealand’s Motueka hop sedation. Cologne-perfumed citrus fruiting maintains crispness as dry lemon-seeded grapefruit rind bite lingers. Wispy mango, passionfruit and guava undertones could be pushed forward.

 

NORTH COAST PUCK

On tap at Ambulance, docile straw-cleared 25th anniversary ‘petite saison’ retains sedate citric-soured herbage, dry pilsner-wheat malting, light white-peppered hop bite and neutral cracker banter. Lemon-seeded bittering upends floral-spiced pineapple, mango and passionfruit tropicalia. In the bottle, crisply clean dry-hopped yellow fruiting gained floral-spiced sweetness and minor barnyard acridity as wispy grapefruit, mandarin orange and lemon peel tartness subsides.

SCHLAFLY RASPBERRY HEFEWEIZEN

On tap at Poor Henry’s, tart hefeweizen seems closer to mild Belgian framboise with its dry-hopped sour raspberry pucker, parched farmhouse yeast rusticity, lightly salted acidity and faded pinkish amber hue. Sweet ‘n sour raspberry tartness leads the way, inviting tertiary red apple, red cherry, cranberry and strawberry illusions to the fruity mix.

  

BOULEVARD SPRING BELLE SAISON WITH FLOWERS

On tap at Poor Henry’s, luscious springtime moderation brings floral-daubed Belgian India Pale Ale citric pining to dry-hopped herbage and pale wheat malting, expanding usual sour-fruited saison styling. Zesty lemon juicing and brisk pineapple-grapefruit-orange-honeydew tropicalia pick up soft white-peppered florality. Dainty rose petal, elderberry and chamomile adjuncts receive honeyed sweetness to reinforce fruity tea-like finish.
