THREES FOREVERMORE IPA
On tap at Ambulance, tropical Nelson Sauvin hops bring zesty white grapefruit, dry white grape, tart gooseberry and pickled melon rind to fruition over stylishly resinous pine-needled bittering.

18TH STREET HERE COMES THE REAPER IPA

BLACK HOG HOG WATER

BURLINGTON BEER UNCANNY VALLEY IPA
On tap at Ambulance, mannered ‘hazy New England-styled India Pale Ale’ allows mild lemony grapefruit bittering to sharpen pine-sapped floral aspect above sugary pale malting.

FOREIGN OBJECTS WILLFUL DELUSIONS OF FALSE PERCEPTION
On tap at Beef Trust, hazy New England-styled IPA utilizes muskily hop-oiled sour fruiting to set the stage as waxy floral citrus tones spread above dry pale malts.

SWEETWATER 420 STRAIN G13 IPA
Nicely re-creating super-sticky skunked weed with its piney ganja resin and dank hemp pungency, briskly clean dry-hopped India Pale Ale also regales lemony orange-peeled grapefruit rind bittering and dainty peach-pineapple-tangerine tanginess with pink peppercorn flourishes. Wispy tarragon, dandelion and carnation snips flutter. A fine strain.

NAP TIME LIQUID CREATION RESILIENCE IPA
On tap at Ambulance and brewed in collaboration with Sierra Nevada to support Camp Fire Relief Fund, Naptime’s version seems directed at typical middle-of-the-road IPA lovers.
