On tap at Seven Lakes Station, “rustic” sour ale plies tartly acidic lemon juicing to brettanomyces-funked barnyard acridity, earthen truffle spot and unexpected peat-smoked beechwood frill. For dryer sour ale advocates.

ROUND TABLE MOTTO MOTTO DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Growler & Gill, ‘pillowy’ Imperial IPA retains juicy orange peel sweetness and candied lemon twang for light pine lacquering emboldened by vodka-clean 8.5% ABV boozing that never ransacks citric-spiced approachability.
SOUTHERN GRIST TEAL HAZY IPA
On tap at Pompton Craft House, tropical NEIPA combines lemony grapefruit bittering and sweet orange peel zesting with mild guava, mango, papaya, pineapple and peach tanginess, picking up piney respite over lightly creamed oats-flaked barley base. Another worthy Citra-Mosaic hopped India Pale Ale.
FROST DENTED TRIPLE IPA
On tap at Pompton Craft House, tropical 9.5% ABV NEIPA crowds pulsating floral fruited hop bittering with resinous piney oiling contrasting mild oated creaminess. Lemony guava-passionfruit souring sidles orange-peeled grapefruit-pineapple-mango tanginess and peachy tangerine sweetness plus glassy vodka whim. Quite exquisite.
ROOT + BRANCH DO WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY OF SPECTACLE NEIPA (MOTUEKA)
On tap at Pompton Craft House, zesty lemon-limed Motueka hop influence provides yellow grapefruit-forward profile punctuated by sour guava-gooseberry spell, vodka-licked orange tang and brisk crackling fizziness to creamy oated wheat base.
FAST FASHION BARGAIN BIN NEIPA
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, lemon-desiccated grapefruit musk meets perfumed orange tang and candied pineapple tartness plus pleated pine pungency above dry pale-malted French breading.
FOAM DEAD FLOWERS
On tap at Growler & Gill, limey guava, gooseberry and passionfruit souring and mild yellow grapefruit bittering contrast orange-candied vanilla Creamsicle trickle and distant cantaloupe-honeydew snips for dry New Zealand-hopped NEIPA.
MAST LANDING MAIN STREET MAGIC INDIA PALE ALE
Crayon-waxed guava-gooseberry combo awakens juicy pineapple tang and lemony grapefruit bittering of grassy-hopped New England-styled IPA with crisply cereal-grained pilsner malt base.
BRIX CITY HANSEATIC MERCHANTS DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Pompton Craft House, wintry New England-styled IPA allows minty spruce tips to bring wintergreen Christmastime freshening to lemon-oiled juniper licks, juicy pineapple tanginess, orange-peeled grapefruit bittering and lavender cologne musk in quirkily unique mix.
BRIX CITY FIT FOR A QUEEN
Conditioned on blueberry puree with moderate lactic acidity, double dry-hopped (Mosaic-El Dorado) Imperial IPA stays tart as candied glaze usurps gin-soaked blueberry frontage as well as tertiary cranberry, boysenberry and crabapple scrum, leaving cinnamon-spiced Graham Cracker base a tad compromised. In deep recess, floral lei and rose pedal nuances wade thru waxy fruited lacquering.
ASPIRE BURGEON
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, dry hazy IPA utilizes ‘Southern Hemisphere’ hops (Nelson Sauvin/Galaxy/Strata) to allow sour guava-gooseberry tartness to infiltrate lemon and orange rind-embittered grapefruit tanginess, resinous piney insistence, dry herbal perfuming, sharp juniper bite and earthen musk atop wispily creamed oated wheat. A bitter hophead delight.
ASPIRE WISH
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, juicily grapefruit-forward NEIPA receives lemony herbal respite, tart passionfruit-guava whim and dry pine bittering but lacks stylishly sour New Zealand hop edge and enough oated wheat malts to deepen its easygoing profile. Genetically modified thiolieze yeast softens tropical fruitedness.
