BARRIER NON-CENTS SESSION IPA
On tap at Ambulance, dank citrus musk crowds astringent hop bittering of arguably ‘sessionable’ Money IPA knockoff. Retaining all the original brew’s grain alcohol coarsening and lemony orange pungency (minus the fruit rotted aspect), its light sugared spicing takes away some of the bitter edge, but not enough for lighter palates.

BAY STATE HOPPY DREAMS AMERICAN IPA
BANNER IPA
OPA OPA IPA
Sessionable English-styled India Pale Ale brings mildly pungent dewy earthiness, light resinous hop bittering and ESB-like rye malting to brisk lemony grapefruit juicing.

ITHACA EXCELSIOR 17 ANNIVERSARY WHEAT IPA
Going for the trifecta, hybridied 17th anniversary American wheat ale gets crossed with a brettanomyces-soured IPA to fine effect. Evenly spread pineapple-grapefruit-tangerine tang and wood lacquered orange rind bittering create dominant IPA briskness that overrides rustic ‘wheat ale’ tendencies. Tart lemon souring, brettanomyces yeast and barnyard funk add ‘sour ale’ affectations. Mild pink peppercorn heat warms the citric aftertaste.
