On tap at Ambulance, soft-toned NEIPA combines New Zealand lupulins as limey gooseberry, guava, passionfruit, papaya and mango salting of Nelson/Wai-iti hop combo invites floral-fruited Wakatu hop tropicalia and peachy Galaxy hop pineapple tang to the Down Under party. In the midst, juniper-licked orange rind embitterment contrasts sweet saffron, tart lemon meringue and winey white grape illusions.

On tap at Growler & Gill, tropical fruited NEIPA flagship lacks creamy oated wheat base of richer stylistic brethren but still benefits from juicy Citra-Mosaic hop sunniness and dry Simcoe hop woodiness. Lemony grapefruit spritz and tangy mango-peach-pineapple zesting gain grassy astringency above crystal pale malting.
