On tap at Taphouse 15, lemony grapefruit sunshine brightens subtly embittered front end of crisp ‘pineapple-juiced’ moderate-medium body. Casual mango, peach and tangerine illusions add further straightforward tropicalia.

KCBC / MIKKELLER / SPECTRUM COFFEE RYDERS ON THE BLACK RAINBOW STOUT
On tap at Ambulance, Spectrum’s black coffee bittering seeps into brown chocolate creaming and maple-smoked rye for rich 14% ABV Imperial Stout. Heavy mocha rampage slowly gains bruised black cherry tartness and sweet bourbon tingle plus latent anise-draped cinnamon, cumin and curry spicing. A rampaging full-bodied mocha nightcap.
KCBC INTRUDER ALERT DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, lactic milk-soured yellow fruiting generates zesty lemon-limed grapefruit, guava and mandarin orange tartness as well as milder pineapple-peach-melon dollop for juicy multi-hopped ballast.
KCBC STRAP LITE LIME RICE LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, impossibly light-bodied pale yellow rice lager lets dry lime wedge its way into rice-flaked pilsner malts and floral-herbed Hallertau hops in mildest manner possible. A sour limey spritzer.
KCBC INVASION OF THE BERRY SNATCHERS FRUITED SOUR
On tap at Ambulance, raspily tart ruby reddish fruited sour lets powdery strawberry, blueberry and raspberry adjuncts gain mildly lactic acidulated malting for lambic-like luster. Tart berry jam continuance picks up tertiary cherry, cranberry and boysenberry subtleties for further sour-candied resilience.
KCBC / GROSS VIKING FANDANGO
On tap at Ambulance, opaquely golden hazed IPA (collaboration with Spain’s basque brewery, Gross) stays crisply clean as lemon-juiced pineapple, mango and orange tartness melds to creamy coconut respite and sour lime chime in soft-toned pale malt setting.
KCBC ROBOT FISH INDIA PALE ALE #6
Smoothly easygoing IPA lets juicy grapefruit tang and orange-peeled lemon zest crowd grassy herbal resin. Dry Simcoe-hopped wood tones contrast buttery English pale-malted (Optic) biscuit flouring in soft-toned setting.
KCBC NECRO ALCHEMY COFFEE LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, murky sour-meshed pale malting, white-wined Hallertau Blanc hop tannins and faint Ethiopian coffee adjunct never fully integrate. Spritzy lemon licks and rustic floral herbage add further confusion.
KCBC SUPERHERO SIDEKICKS IPA
On tap at Ambulance, brisk New England-styled India Pale Ale brings orange-candied yellow grapefruit tang to the fore. Light pine resin provides mildly bitter edge to contrast ancillary mango, pineapple and tangerine illusions.
KCBC DEATH FROM BELOW OYSTER STOUT
On tap at Ambulance, bold collaboration with Manhattan’s Randolph Beer (and Brooklyn clam shack, Cape House) gives oyster-shelled salinity a deeply embittered black-malted dark chocolate, medium-roast coffee ruggedness and charred nuttiness above its oats-flaked raw molasses bottom. Serve to robust bitter-tongued stout lovers.
BARRIER / KCBC THAT’S A LOT OF DOUGH IPA
On tap at Ambulance, mildly dry Huell Melon hops provide limey honeydew-waxed melon rind tartness crowded by spritzy lemon-oiled acidity, lightly soured grapefruit spurt and splashy lacquered wood polishing. Tertiary mandarin orange, peach and strawberry illusions flutter. Somewhat unique IPA advertised as pizza accompaniment.
