SOUTHERN TIER TRIPEL CAFE

Ridiculously complex pale-yellowed moderation maintains ‘exotic’ toxicity (8.8%ABV) while spreading green coffee beans across sweet orange peel tartness and mild coriander spicing. Candi-sugared Belgian yeast provides overriding sweetness to milked coffee frontage. Light Grand Marnier influence provides alcohol warmth for corresponding orange-bruised pineapple, peach, apricot, pear, banana and berry fruiting as well as dainty floral herbage. Green tea, basil, rosemary and lemongrass herbs encounter latent orange blossom, jasmine and rosebud florality below the surface alongside lesser peppercorn, ginger and spearmint illusions. Perfumed shaving cream notions waft thru the mix.

  

PEEKSKILL AMAZEBALLS

On tap at Ambulance, refreshingly clean pale ale loads passionfruit-oiled Australian Galaxy hops atop sunny tropical fruiting. Initially, juicy yellow grapefruit bittering overloads light pining and pale malting. Then, tangy orange rind, pineapple, peach, tangerine, mango, kiwi and melon illusions grace the bright midst. Ripe fruity finish reinforces grapefruit frontage and picks up sugary candied notion. Simply irresistible!

ITHACA THE CREEKER DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE

On tap at Blue Ribbon Tavern, stylishly mild Imperial IPA lightens its bitter hop intensity for juicy fruited bluster. Tangy grapefruit-peeled navel orange expectancy matched by sweet peach, apple, mango, tangerine and pear illusions. Light aspirin astringency cuts thru fruity splendor at crisp finish. In the bottle, muskily hard-candied lemony orange herbage spreads out above desiccated earthen wood tones and dry pale malts.

BARRIER MONEY IPA

On tap at Ambulance, ultra-dry India Pale Ale places sour yellow grapefruit tartness above grouted orange-rotted lemon tang and pungent citric hop bittering. Yellow-wooded pine resin further embitters acrid citrus sharpness. Tertiary pineapple, mango and kiwi illusions fade at the muskily bitter finish. In the can, lemony grapefruit-pitted orange peel zesting brightened sunshiny sessionable dry body. Lingering pine lacquered stank counters vanilla-creamed citrus-candied malting.

RUSHING DUCK WHITE ELEPHANT

On tap at Ambulance, easygoing ultra-dry Belgian Imperial India Pale Ale maintains pleasant citric hop moderation over mild crystal malting and subtle white-peppered herbage. Bitter yellow grapefruit and orange rind sedation contrasts floral sugar-spiced sweetness. Zesty lemon, pineapple and tangerine illusions surface at the serene citric finish. But expectant Belgian yeast influence lacks clarity.
