MIKKELLER I BEAT YOU IMPERIAL INDIA PALE ALE

Spiffy ‘I Beat yoU’ hop measurement moniker aside, convincing hop-rooted ale counters sharp grapefruit-peeled pine resin bittering with vibrant peach-pear-apple-pineapple tang and syrupy maple-spruce sapping. Floral-spiced mango-papaya tingle increases engaging fruited sweetness to creamy caramel malt center. At a staggering $7 for 12-ounces, it’s still worth the price for taste and buzz.

STONE CALI-BELGIE INDIA PALE ALE

Truly stunning West Coast-Belgium combination overhauls Stone IPA’s California-styled wood-hopped citric tang with Belgian-like candied yeast. Bright grapefruit-pinked pineapple, melon, nectarine and apricot tropicalia reinforces tangy orange-apple conflux countering resinous pine-hopped bittering. Creamy caramel malting sweetness undercoats subsidiary black-peppered coriander-clove spicing and lingered dark floral reminder.

MIKKELLER STATESIDE I.P.A.

A lighter pine-embittered fruiting than typical IPA fare comes to the fore. Cascade-hopped oats-flaked fig-dried orange-tangerine tang lost to phenol spicing, earthen fungi, musty peat resin, and diacetyl vegetal snip. Astringent alcohol burn buries green apple tartness and apricot-dried grapefruit bittering below ethanol whir. Serve to exploratory ESB fans.

NEW ENGLAND GHANDI-BOT DOUBLE I.P.A.

On tap, well-rounded copper-hazed ‘hop-header’ brings resinous piney hop bittering to caramel-malted apple-jacked peach-tangerine-pineapple tang. Creamy vanilla-maple surge counters oncoming grapefruit-peeled juniper bite to damp earthen-grained bottom, becoming more pungently bitter at floral-daubed fruit-sharpened alcohol-burnt finish. Canned version yields juicier tropical fruiting, stickier candy apple sweetness, and sappier spruce-tipped pine bitterness. Possibly the best canned ale on the East Coast.

TERRAPIN HOPSECUTIONER INDIA PALE ALE

Dynamic amber-hazed hop-head delight never lets floral-pined bite put a crimp on honey-fruited sweetness. Brisk pine-needled orange-peeled bitterness seeps through tangy lemon-sugared apple-ripened pineapple, apricot, and tangerine tropicalia to soft nutty underbelly. Chocolate-covered cherry illusion seeps into midst. Brisk mineral-watered mountain-dewed freshness and resinous hop-oiled prickle prompt esteemed West Coast IPA styling.
