On tap at Poor Henry’s, dryer South Pacific version of Decadent Multiflora utilizes New Zealand hops, obtaining lemony guava, pineapple and kiwi souring to contrast tangy grapefruit, peach and mango sugaring. Moderate hop bittering brings approachability despite heightened 9.6% ABV of tropical moderate-to-medium body.
On tap at Beef Trust, mild IPA plies toasted marshmallow sweetness and Madagascar vanilla beaning to dry-hopped citric brightness. Lightly creamed vanilla topping contrasts tingly resinous hop bittering as campfire-toasted marshmallow theme fades just a tad at the finish.
On tap at Poor Henry’s, pristine juicy-fruited Imperial IPA combines brisk yellow grapefruit tang with sweet mango and tart passionfruit up-front. Brisk citric-pined Mosaic hop bittering and wafting floral bouquet maintain refreshingly clean-watered profile. Tropical fruiting gains mild earthiness over time.
On tap at Taphouse 15, mild Madagascar vanilla beaning and subtler strawberry creaming casually hidden behind brash piney fruited IPA styling. Sharp orange-peeled grapefruit, peach, papaya and pineapple tang gains zesty lemon spicing above mildly syrupy crystal-caramel malting. Beneath the surface, strawberry vanilla sweetness stays too soft to properly contrast woody citric hop bittering.
On tap at Ambulance, briskly fruited adjunct-laden flagship overrides mango and vanilla bean influence with resilient dry-hopped citric-pined IPA attributes. Mild vanilla-extracted mango juicing abruptly defied by orange-peeled yellow grapefruit tang and zesty lemon twist above wispy white-wheated pilsner malting.
On tap at Ambulance, ‘opulent’ flagship brew receives bold lupulin-powdered Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra hop influence to contrast sweet honeyed malting in triple dry-hopped setting. Lemony grapefruit and orange illusions waver between bitter and sweet.
On tap at Ambulance, fantastic St. Patrick’s Day Celebrator aged in whiskey barrels with cold-brewed coffee and Madagascar vanilla beans penetrates deeply with its smoothly creamed Irish coffee warmth. Spiced black chocolate, caramel latte, hazelnut crème, dark toffee and crème brulee illusions elevate luxurious whiskeyed coffee prominence above teasing hop-charred bitterness. Elegance personified by newly minted Mamaroneck brewer.
