INTERBORO OVERTIME IMPERIAL INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, juicy-fruited beige-hazed medium body allows Citra-Moteuka-Galaxy hops to forward tropical ambience. Tangy orange-peeled mango, pineapple, peach, papaya and guava gambit gains sweet pale-pilsner-Vienna malting to contrast muted citric hop bittering at the finish.
EVIL GENIUS HAN SHOT FIRST DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Biggie’s, perfumed orange-peeled pineapple and grapefruit tang given sour lemon respite and sticky pine sapping above sugary pale oats malting of refined moderate-to-medium body. Grassy hop astringency stays low as tertiary peach, mango and tangerine illusions flitter below. Slight plastique waxiness wavers.
LIC BEER PROJECT MILES FROM NOWHERE DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, satisfactory double dry-hopped middleweight lets moderately bitter grapefruit, pineapple and orange tropicalia gain mild hop acidity and piney sidebar to absorb its juicy fruiting.
THE ALCHEMIST THE CRUSHER DOUBLE IPA
Another highly praised Alchemist elixir (alongside world famous Heady Topper). Sharp lemony orange rind and grapefruit peel bittering picks up resinous pine-needled cannabis dankness. Juicy mango-tangerine-peach tang and tart gooseberry-passionfruit piquancy deepen initial grapefruit-orange luster over lightly creamed crystal malts in well-balanced manner.
DOMINION DOUBLE D DOUBLE IPA
Totally streamlined and a bit stylistically unassuming, yet quite quenchable. Sweet-spiced grapefruit and orange tang as well as mild dark-roast graininess embittered by resinous piney hop char and mild juniper snip as ashen aftertaste ensues.
MAGNIFY BEFORE WE DISAPPEAR IMPERIAL INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Poor Henry’s, taut Mosaic lupulin powdering deepens lemony grapefruit-tangerine tang above moderate piney evergreen bittering for delightful IPA. Effervescent citrus spritz lingers resoundingly.
KNEE DEEP ROLLING PLATO SNAKES
On tap at Ambulance, boozy triple IPA soaks floral-perfumed citric hop bittering with candied orange peel sweetness, leaving wispy ethanol burn. Dry wood tones parch the groaty back end as light lemongrass licks waver behind.
LIC BEER PROJECT WILDSTYLE
On tap at Ambulance, slightly soured orange-peeled lemon zest crowds mild herbal musk, resinous pine snip and wispy onion-like vinegaring of sharply citric India Pale Ale. Serve to IPA lovers with a sour edge.
DECADENT PASSIFLORA DOUBLE IPA
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.
EQUILIBRIUM DHOP8 DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Ambulance, organoleptic hop-oiled experiment (with bold 8.5% ABV) drapes zesty lemon-limed yellow grapefruit juicing and mild orange-tangerine-pineapple tartness across evergreen-spiced minting. Naturally carbonated re-fermented sugaring adds lactic respite but light vegetal skunking seems out of place.
STONE BUZZER BEATER DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Growler & Gill, juicy mandarin orange, tangerine and bruised orange tang integrated into assertive hop profile of strong 9.4% ABV IPA. Lemon peel bittering contrasts ancillary nectarine, cantaloupe and orange sweetness at the backend.
