MUDHEN BAKERS DOUBLE IMPERIAL IPA
Sharp lemony grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering jostles brisk pine needling as tangy pineapple smidge, mild spiced floral daubs and pungent cannabis snips join the party over caramelized cereal grain sugaring. Crisply clean mineral watering allows tropical fruiting to shine brightly. Perfect for distinguished hop heads.
TIRED HANDS EVISCERATED PATHWAY OF BEAUTY
On tap at Taphouse 15, punctual grapefruit-peeled orange zesting and brisk lemon tartness lead thick, but not creamy, Citra-hopped Imperial IPA. Grungy cannabis pungency and herbal black tea musk settle below citrus-spiced pleasantry as slightly sour key lime pie, green mango, guava and passionfruit illusions contrast rummy Pina Colada-like coconut and pineapple sweetness over silken flaked oats. Superb!
FOAM REPETITIONER
Lightly embittered yellow grapefruit salting retains soft tone as mild pine tones and herbal snips contrast ancillary peachy orange bubblegum sugaring and distant floral spicing above lightly creamed oated wheat setting of easygoing vodka-fruited Imperial IPA (with unassuming 8.5% ABV).
FROST PLUSH DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Growler & Gill, tangy grapefruit, orange and tangerine juicing receives lemon-candied glaze to usurp grassy hop astringency contrasting sugary crystal malts of soft-tongued, straw-hazed, moderate-medium body.

THIN MAN MOSAIC DDH BLISS DOUBLE IPA

STONE 26TH ANNIVERSARY IMPERIAL IPA
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, divergent hopped-up West Coast IPA (with unassuming 9.7% ABV) stays dry as dank pine resin seeps into dehydrated grapefruit-mango conflux, raw-honeyed orange blossom musk, dark floral mustiness and mild black peppering. More abstruse than complex.
STONE RUINTEN TRIPLE IPA
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, ‘recklessly hoppy recipe’ celebrates 10 year anniversary of fabulous Ruination. But its muskily citric Centennial-Citra hop blend and the original’s piney floral perfuming are lacking. Instead, its candied orange stead never overcomes the iodine-stiffened boozy ethers.
MAGNIFY VI (6TH ANNIVERSARY IMPERIAL IPA)
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, 6th anniversary IPA floats bold 8.5% alcohol ethers thru clean cryo-hopped tropical fruit lacquering and mildly creamed vanilla froth.
