More than “just another Double India Pale Ale.” Sunshiny yellow grapefruit zest distinctively affects moderate dry-hopped bittering and mildly sugar-spiced pale malting of easygoing, murkily clouded, chartreuse-coppered summertime suds. Sour lemon seed follow-up and resinous pine notion gain momentum as crisply clean water base provides brisk flow.
On tap at Poor Henry’s, unconventional chartreuse-hazed medium-bodied saison plies sour lemon-pitted tartness and limey bittering to lactose-heavy acidulated malts, creating buttery Chardonnay wining. Sourer and winier than typical pale ale-styled saison and therefore better recommended to sour ale imbibers.
On tap at Plank Pizza, dry porter brings lightly creamed dark-roasted coffee and black chocolate malting to the fore. Subtle black licorice resonance settles below alongside blackened hop bittering. In a can, black-malted dark chocolate musk and dried cocoa subsidy gain musty hop char and seared walnut-cola niche at mocha molasses finish.
