On tap at Growler & Gill, easygoing moderation provides lemony spritz to soft dry-hopped pine needling and delicate pale malting. At the midst, tangy grapefruit, peach, mango and pineapple fruiting receives mildly pungent orange souring as well as distant vegetal wisp.

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.

BARRIER ATYPICAL IPA
On tap at Burger Loft, supposedly ‘atypical’ IPA allows stylishly expected citric-juiced brightness to spread across fresh spruce-tipped pine needling. Yellow grapefruit bittering rises above lemon-candied pineapple, mango, orange, tangerine and melon tropicalia. Another crisply fine citric-based Barrier IPA, indeed.
