STEADY HABIT OUR DAILY BREAD IPA

From its murkily chartreuse-hazed hue to its juicy fruited Citra-Galaxy-Topaz hop tandem, this crisply clean well-watered IPA maintains a pervasive grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering, zesty lemon spritz and sedately bark-dried pine needling. By softening an India Pale Ale’s comparatively harsher hop proclivities and upping the candi-sugared tropical sweetness, the final product’s both sessionable and briskly embittered. Tangy yellow grapefruit, navel orange, mango, guava, passionfruit and papaya illusions abound above the delicate mineral graining.

PROCLAMATION TENDRIL

On tap at Track 84, soothingly approachable moderate-bodied India Pale Ale plies bittersweet citrus fruiting to mild resinous hop oiling and crystal malt sugaring. Subtle orange-peeled grapefruit bitterness allows tangerine, peach, cantaloupe, melon, apple, pear and mango illusions to flourish alongside. Slight vodka burn invigorates juicy fruited finish.

NOLA HOPITOULAS IPA

Pleasant silver-canned moderation maintains stylishly soft tone crossing dewy peat musk of English-styled IPA with citric Amarillo-Simcoe hop bite and resinous piney bittering of American IPA. Mild floral herbage seeps into dainty orange-peeled pink grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, mango and peach tones above muted earthen bottom.  

PEEKSKILL SHOTGUN WILLIE IPA

On tap at Ambulance, easygoing moderation may be stylishly soft-toned, but never at the expense of riveting bark-dried yellow grapefruit bittering. Mild Nelson Sauvin hop tropicalia induces orange-peeled pineapple, mango, papaya, passionfruit and peach illusions as well as wispy gooseberry tartness to backup lemony grapefruit finish. Dry-grained rye wheat bottom seems sufficient.   

ALPINE DUET

Undeniably awesome West Coast India Pale Ale breaks out the tangy citric-hopped fruitiness, elegant floral-spiced splendor and pungently resinous pine freshness to impress any true beer lover. Sweet navel orange, bitter yellow grapefruit and sour pineapple cut loose initially, followed succinctly by harmonious Valencia orange, clementine, peach, cantaloupe, nectar, tangerine, mango, pear and red apple juicing. A flavorful Simcoe-Amarillo hop adventure sure to please everyone (except lightweights thrown off by its minor aspirin-like astringency).

FOUNTAIN SQUARE SOUL RIDE INDIA PALE ALE

Perfectly balanced nickel-hued IPA brings bright yellow and orange fruiting to creamy cookie dough malts. Sunny yellow grapefruit bittering takes the lead as orange-bruised tangerine, peach, pineapple, cantaloupe, nectarine, red apple, brown pear, mango, papaya and melon tang prospers. Furthermore, resinous piney hop freshness contrasts honeyed spruce juicing and chewy caramel sugaring in fine fashion. An underrated fave!

 

ELYSIAN SPACE DUST IPA

On tap at Ambulance, superb medium-bodied India Pale Ale allows floral sweet-fruited luster to balance bitter citric hop prickle and resinous pine needling. Tropical orange, tangerine, pineapple, mango, peach and guava tang contrasts aggressive lemony grapefruit bittering. Biscuit-y malt spine lightens the bright fruit finish. Bottled version: Sessionable 8.2% ABV IPA brightens tongue with orange-peeled ruby red grapefruit tang, lemony pineapple zest and sweet crystal malting.

ELYSIAN SAVANT IPA

On tap at Ambulance, passive moderate-bodied India Pale Ale provides lemon-soured orange rot and green apple tartness to dry pale malting. Passion-fruited Nelson Sauvin hops and woody Chinook hops combine, allowing herbal-nipped grapefruit, pineapple, mango and guava undertones to penetrate the surface. Resinous hemp snip adds to herbaceous subsidy. 

 

BARRIER MONEY IPA

On tap at Ambulance, ultra-dry India Pale Ale places sour yellow grapefruit tartness above grouted orange-rotted lemon tang and pungent citric hop bittering. Yellow-wooded pine resin further embitters acrid citrus sharpness. Tertiary pineapple, mango and kiwi illusions fade at the muskily bitter finish. In the can, lemony grapefruit-pitted orange peel zesting brightened sunshiny sessionable dry body. Lingering pine lacquered stank counters vanilla-creamed citrus-candied malting.
