On tap at Ambulance, hazy golden NEIPA lets dry grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering and dank cannabis resin settle above mildly creamed oated wheat base. Distant melon, white grape, guava and passionfruit illusions flutter.
BURLINGTON BEER PURPLE PUNCH DOUBLE IPA
Bright, crisp, clean IPA features cannabis-oiled Purple Punch terpenes that bring uniquely fulfilling juniper-embittered yellow grapefruit juicing, sweet orange peeled lemon zesting, tannic redcurrant-soured guava swipe and red cherry daubs to sugary pale malts, leaving dry pine resin on the backend.
THREE FLOYDS SLAPASAURUS
On tap at Ambulance, dry ‘Imperial’ combines Old Style West Coast IPA’s desiccated orange oiling and piney hop resin with musky English-styled IPA’s dank herbal pungency, rustic brown-leafed astringency and raw honeyed bittering for murkily defined whimsicality.
EQUILIBRIUM FOUR FOURS DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, zesty orange peel sweetness contrasts lemon-salted yellow grapefruit bittering intensified by juniper berry bite as mild spicing drifts off to dank herbal pungency.
TIRED HANDS OBLIVEX
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, brisk Citra-hopped lemony orange rind bittering, peachy Galaxy-hopped guava sourness and dank Amarillo-hopped pine lacquering enter mildly creamed oated spelt base. Well-balanced dry-hopped NEIPA happily boasts ‘Jersey peach, Valencia orange and Meyer lemon’ influence.
BLUESTONE FOR THE RECORD DDH IPA
Dry lemony orange peeled grapefruit stead gains candied pineapple-tangerine tang above sugary pale malts, but lacks oated wheat creaming and guava-gooseberry souring of better defined NEIPA’s.
BLUESTONE OCTOBERFEST
Musty orange rot and sourly cidered green grape esters given brown leaf astringency for murkily defined marzen-style lager.
SPRING HOUSE BRAAAIINS PUMPKIN ALE FOR ZOMBIES
Fabulous autumnal dessert treat! Richly concocted pumpkin ale (with bold 8.5% ABV) retains vanilla-creamed powdered sugaring for chewy roasted pumpkin meatiness, enduring cinnamon-nutmeg-cardamom seasoning, sweet orange peel snip and a hint of sage over sweet doughy malting.
TRIPPING ANIMALS KILLER KOLSCH
On tap at Ambulance, crisply clean kolsch capitulates champagne-sparkled green grape esters, musty green apple tartness and grassy hop astringency to dry mineral grain musk, gaining a slight raw-honeyed bittering.
KOMES IMPERIAL AMBER ALE
Bigger amber ale variant allows rummy caramelized apple and pear sweetness plus dainty floral-daubed perfume spicing to reach toasted cereal grain sugaring. OK, but gluey cardboard pastiness and rustic hop murk deviate.
THREES HEREAFTER OKTOBERFEST LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, dry leafy hop astringency, earthen truffle mustiness, floral-herbed heather honey bittering and lightly pungent fungi musk stay subtle above crusty Vienna-malted sourdough breading of midrange marzen.
WHEATLAND CORN CRIB FARMHOUSE LAGER
On tap at Taphouse 15, farmhouse-styled lager retains tannic white grape esters and dry barnyard rusticity (of a sour saison) while spreading lemon verbena balm over its corny grits base – finishing with a mildly acidic pinot grigio wining. A challengingly atypical variant.
