On tap at Rebar – Lodi, lightly floral-spiced Simcoe-Chinook hopped pining rubs against dry Idaho 7-hopped fruited tropicalia. Zesty orange-peeled pineapple tang contrasts subtle grapefruit-tangerine rind bittering and white-peppered cannabis blurt.

On tap at Taphouse 15, impressive puffy white-headed yellow-hazed NEIPA utilizes Citra-Mosaic hops to inform soft-toned orange peel sweetness, yellow grapefruit bittering, peachy pineapple tanginess and lemon meringue tartness given mild juniper-licked pine resin over frothily creamed oated wheat base.

Tidy tropical fruited pizzazz! Sunshiny orange-peeled yellow grapefruit tanginess spreads across zesty lemon spritz and mild pine lacquering of lactose NEIPA. Hard-candied center emits slightly soured pineapple, passionfruit, guava, mango and ‘fuji apple’ tartness complementing brisk citrus zing over bready oats and wheat-flaked pilsner malts provide light base.

Approachable NEIPA with less briny guava-gooseberry souring and more lemony yellow grapefruit sunshine and zippy pineapple tang than typical stylish New Zealand-hopped fare. Prickly lemon seltzer fizz picks up subtle mandarin orange licks and slight vodka whir as mild pine lacquer drapes its frisky fruited frolic.

Tropical fruited cumulous-headed golden-hazed New England IPA with capacious flavor profile. Sweet ‘n sour lemony orange cake splurge, salted guava-mango-papaya serenade and peachy cantaloupe sweetness emerge above honey-spiced cereal graining. Cookie dough-like yeast deepens caramel malt resolve while slight gin-soaked cologne sniff wreaks of stiff alcohol. Robust full-bodied luster exceeds most IPA’s.
