On tap at Curly’s Corner, ‘enthusiastic’ full-bodied West Coast IPA retains bitterer, bolder, earthier flavor profile than its lighter ‘Pup’ counterpart. Dank floral herbage, piney hop oiling and moderate alcohol acidity (8%) grace tangy grapefruit, orange and pineapple tropicalia to its musty pale-malted earthen bottom.
Juiced-up Rebel IPA never gets too bitterly hoppy to scare off moderate bodies. Instead, politely rationed tropical fruiting and light sugar spicing easily contrast the wispy piney hop bitterness (gaining slight astringency at the yellow-fruited finish). Tangy mango adjunct gets evenly spread alongside yellow grapefruit, peach, pineapple, tangerine and navel orange illusions atop its creamy crystal malt spine.
On tap at Growler & Gill, unassuming 21st Anniversary India Pale Ale’s bright lemony grapefruit uprising gets supported by mild carapils malting, astringent hops, floral accents and resinous pine, but indecisive fruit paste finish beckons.
On tap at Taphouse 15, elongated rebel-rousin’ moniker opposes summery soft-watered moderation. Delicate piney-hopped yellow grapefruit and orange rind bittering gains mild juniper nip to contrast sedate pineapple, mango and tangerine illusions.
On tap at Taphouse 15, sessionable hop-forward IPA features easygoing tropical Azzaca hop profile. Less fruitful than typical stylish fare, its wispily wood-dried citrus bittering stays mild above herbaceous pale malts. Murky lemon-dried grapefruit, orange, mango and pineapple illusions waver.
Refreshingly crisp 5th Anniversary guava-infused IPA retains tangy crystal-malted tropical fruiting to contrast light piney hop-oiled bittering. Delicate guava influence picks up tart ‘lemony watermelon’ illusions alongside subsidiary cotton-candied orange and pineapple sweetness.
On tap at Amazing Grapes, lively candied grapefruit entry gains red cherry, pineapple, mango, orange and honeydew sweetness as well as wafting floral bouquet above clean-watered bitter hop bite of juicy IPA.
Soft-toned grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering picks up dry wood tones for streamlined Galaxy-hopped IPA. Moderate citric hop bittering lingers and watery celery undertones provide refreshingly clean respite.
Woody Simcoe-Amarillo-Centennial hop triage inundates sharp floral-spiced yellow grapefruit bite and sweetly caramelized pale malt alacrity. After a few sips, sweet navel orange juicing gains affluence above grassy base as well.
Soft-focus Pacific Northwest hops bring light grain musk and dank wet grass astringency to easygoing lemony grapefruit resilience of moderate-to-medium-bodied IPA (with well-disguised 8.6% ABV). Subtle peach, mango, pineapple and tangerine tang gains momentum.
Spruce-tipped evergreen freshness heavily influences pungent piney fruited IPA template. Sunshiny orange-peeled tangerine tang brightened by spruce-y Christmastime crisping. Served with Otterbein’s orange white chocolate chip cookie, citric intensity increases.
Easygoing moderate body brings delicate orange-peeled lemon rind and grapefruit pith bittering as well as ripe peach, mango, tangerine and papaya tang to grassy-hopped pine resin. Surprisingly quiet 6.5% ABV prickled by Seltzer-like carbolics.
