On tap at Pompton Craft House, double dry hopped New England IPA (utilizing lupulin-powdered cryo hops) resonates with zestful tropical luster as crayon waxed fruiting glistens. Tangy yellow grapefruit, lemon meringue, salted mango and peachy nectarine resilience runs thru dry pine resin contrasting mild floral spicing above lightly creamed oated wheat.
Dry tropical fruited delight sprays lemony orange peel spritz upon tangy pineapple-grapefruit briskness and moderate piney hop bittering, but lacks some expectant New England-styled oated wheat creaming and needs rangier fruited profile.
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, confectionery raspberry creamsicle richness gains tart raspberry pie snap, mild blueberry-brambleberry bliss and slight cranberry souring as creamy vanilla milking sweetens its doughy pastry-like base.
‘Modern’ IPA variant allows confectionery orange-pulpy vanilla creaming to gain sharp Citra-hopped lemony grapefruit bittering as well as piney residue. Chewy marshmallow center sweetens salted pineapple and mango tropicalia enveloping its powder-sugared citrus finish.
Brisk moderation sprays lemon zest upon bittersweet orange peel tang, mild yellow grapefruit bittering and passive pineapple-passionfruit-guava tartness. In the distance, light herbage and subtle dark-roast hop pining ascend for off-dry tropical hazer.
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, smoothly dry-hopped NEIPA variant places waxy yellow grapefruit bittering next to navel orange tang, lemon meringue tartness and peachy mango snips as mild pine lacquering contrasts creamily oated wheat sugaring.
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, lemony yellow grapefruit bittering affixes spritzy orange rind dryness over mild vanilla creamed oats, picking up salty guava-pineapple illusions, sweet berry snips and wafting floral tones.
On tap at Taphouse 15, soft serve chocolate-vanilla swirl undone by rich semi-sweet dark cocoa prod. Creamy Madagascar vanilla stead and milk-sugared coffee sweetness vie for position but oncoming dark-roast hop bittering seems misplaced.
On tap at Pompton Craft House, Mister Softee IPA variant utilizes Motueka, Nectaron and Citra cryo hops in lightly milk sugared tropical fruit setting. Subtle vanilla-daubed oats creaming serenaded by lemony grapefruit, navel orange, passionfruit, guava and passionfruit tropicalia. Somewhat tart but not nearly as sweetly ambrosial as richer milkshake suds.
On tap at Pompton Craft House, zesty NEIPA utilizes Peacharine, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka hops to maintain dry tropical fruited inertia. Tart gooseberry, guava, passionfruit and lychee succulence given mild oats creaming as dank pine tones and rummy vodka spiriting sink in.
Dry New Zealand-derived Nectaron hops forward mild white grape, yellow grapefruit and Meyer lemon bittering to mild oated wheat base. But compost-wafted sour grape esters and obscure ‘peach soda, pineapple nectar and fruited candied’ illusions lose favor for wayward double dry-hopped IPA styling.
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, brisk Citra-hopped Canadian NEIPA lets lemon-pinched grapefruit bittering, pineapple-candied orange tartness, tannic white grape esters, mild guava sway and timid tangerine tang (plus a hint of pine and pinch of herbs) carry thru to its lightly creamed oats base.
