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.

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.
