On tap at Growler & Gill, ultra-dry pale ale relies on offbeat flavonoids to tickle your fancy. Even its hazy tannish brown hue’s a tad peculiar for usually simpler styling. Yellow grapefruit-peeled lemon rind bittering, salted pineapple tartness and piney juniper swipe sidle dark-roast hop char contrasting Carapils/Crystal malt sugaring. Dry-spiced floral citrus finish gains brown leaf astringency.
Vibrant New England-styled pale ale boasts big bouquet of sunshiny Mosaic-Citra-hopped tropical fruits sidling dry Simcoe-hopped pining. Lemon-peeled orange rind and yellow grapefruit bittering plus lightly salted mango, guava and pineapple tartness contrast peachy clementine and tangerine sweetness for briskly fruitful effervescence.
Vibrantly juicy fruited moderate-medium body places grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering across peachy mango-pineapple tang in Mosaic hop setting. Tart hard-candied center sticks to pine-combed Centennial hop herbage and red wheat bottom of solid tropical pale ale.
Sturdy Brit-styled dry pale ale lets mild creamy vanilla froth linger softly for gentle caramelized whiskey sweetness, dry Scotch spot and salted pale malt buttering as fizzy lemony orange spritz prickles the tongue. Totally demure and quite satisfying for all moderate bodied thirsts.
Zesty tropical fruited ‘hoppy’ pale ale stays sessionable as mild pine resin soaks up sharply dry pineapple, grapefruit and orange rind bittering and peachy mango tang, leaving phenol hop astringency to contrast its daintily spiced crystal sugaring.
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, hazy golden double dry-hopped India-styled pale ale regales semi-sharp lemony orange-peeled yellow grapefruit bittering, salted guava-kiwi tang, dank herbal residue and mild floral spicing over creamy oated wheat base. Simply put, a slightly less profound New England IPA (at 4.8% ABV) given American pale ale tag.
Yet another lovely piney fruited pale ale with high IPA aspirations. Subdued lemony orange-peeled grapefruit, pineapple and mango zesting rivals Nelson Sauvin-hopped gooseberry/guava souring, Strata-hopped cannabis resin and lightly salted herbage above dry pale malting.
Traditional amber-cleared moderation lets sour orange oiling, slight fungi musk and wispy wet leaf astringency hamper dry black peppered pale malting, imparting gluey paper gumminess to drab autumnal pale ale styling.
On tap at Triton, soft yellow-hazed New Zealand-hopped pale ale brushes tropical lemon-limed pink guava and mango salting against tangy grapefruit zesting, peachy pineapple zing and sweet floral daubs. Even some velvet ginger lemonade honeying passes thru fruity pale malt sugared moderation. Down Under-inspired pale ale betters most simpler, less vibrant American pale ales.
On tap at Triton, washed-out blood orange tartness and lemon-soured yellow grapefruit twang plus subtle pineapple fringe reach brusque resinous hop bittering over sugary pale malting.
On tap at Ambulance, unconventional New England-styled pale ale undercuts its salty guava-gooseberry souring, tangy orange-juiced pineapple zing and mild yellow grapefruit bittering with arid spelt-starched wheat dextrin. Musky herbal tinge slides thru musty sourly fruited finish.
On tap at Plank Pizza, unspecific English-styled pale ale lets nebulous orange-oiled dried fruiting nip at dewy fungi molding atop crystal rye malting.
