On tap at Growler & Gill, dry Hallertau Blanc hop influence brings light white grape, gooseberry and grapefruit illusions to the surface. Tingly champagne-licked lemon spritz adds carbolic pep. Herbal restraint and dried flower snip stay recessive.

BUNKER SALAD DAZE
On tap at Valhalla, enchanting Citra-hopped India Pale Lager lets floral lemon-peeled grapefruit bittering override grassy hop astringency and resinous pine needling. Zippy white-peppered spicing perks up ancillary orange, mango, tangerine and pineapple tanginess.
OTHER HALF / BUNKER MAPLE CREAMIES
On tap at Ambulance, velvety maple-creamed Imperial Stout (brewed in collaboration with Maine-bound Bunker Brewing) retains brown-sugared maple molasses sweetness, sugary vanilla-laced chocolate caking and rich cookie dough malting above dark-roast hop char as bitter burnt wood singe and mild alcohol burn creep forward. Tertiary cola nut, toasted marshmallow, cappuccino and cocoa tones deepen decadent dessert beer.
BUNKER / FINBACK COCO LOCO BLACK LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, aimless one-time collaboration with New York’s Finback puts the proverbial ‘lime in the coconut’ but leaves very little drupe influence upon limey grape-stemmed tannins. Musky dry hop bittering and ashen tobacco overwhelm any bitter coconut watering.
