Sweet bourbon whiskey entrance draped in dark chocolate syrup and oaken vanilla tannins – yet strangely averse to ballyhooed floury powder-sugared Astronaut cake design, picking up tertiary sherry, dark cherry and blackberry illusions by fudgy mocha bourbon vanilla finish.
Milk-sugared vanilla ice creaming gains marshmallow fluff for rummy Citra-hopped tropical fruiting. Orange Creamsickle, lemon meringue and honeyed fruit cocktail illusions contrast white peppered herbage and slight evergreen minting.
Well integrated creamily frothed tropical fruit bouquet blends sweet orange peel zesting, yellow grapefruit bittering, piquant pineapple tang, ‘tangerine marmalade’ flutter and wispy mango-guava-papaya conflux before picking up mild floral-daubed spicing and resinous cannabis-like piney hop oiling above doughy pale malts. Sugary rum rush floats thru juicy tropical fruited mayhem of prominent 10.2% ABV DIPA.
Intense hazy golden full body utilizes dry-hopped Mosaic variety to juice up fulsome 10.2% ABV NEIPA. Initial lemon lime-candied yellow grapefruit bittering and zesty orange peel sweetness plus ancillary peach, pineapple, papaya and tangerine tang gain mild resinous pine needling, syrupy spruce-tipped sugaring and peppery herbal snip. Creamily frothed vanilla-spiced crystal malting saddles rummy tropical fruiting as waxy clay lacquering persists for souped-up India Pale Ale.
Offbeat Citra-hopped pale yellowed Berliner weisse retains dryly salted grapefruit tartness, tannic green grape esters and zippy lemony pineapple tang unexpectedly usurped by highly acidic concentrated lime powdering (and cedar pencil shavings) to contrast milk-sugared vanilla/marshmallow sweetness over delicate lactobacillus-bound white wheat base.
Rich “Imperial French Toast Stout” aged in bourbon maple syrup barrels contrasts burly bourbon chocolate influence and Cassia-barked cinnamon sugaring with mild dried fruited souring and dry vanilla tannins. Wispy burgundy, rum and anise licks stick to treacly maple-syrupy bourbon mocha finish.
Easygoing clear straw double dry-hopped IPA collaboration with Hoof Hearted utilizes limey pink guava and grapefruit adjuncts for clean entry. Slight gin-soaked agave influence adds to the well hidden 8.5% ABV.
Soothing caramelized chocolate fudging relegates medium roast coffee bittering and mild vanilla creaming of well-rounded full body (brewed at Great South Bay). Coffee-vanilla theme continually loses out to cocoa-dried dark chocolate malting while bitter Blackstrap molasses-coated wood char gains access.
On tap at Morris Tap & Grill, tart gooseberry pep, zesty lemon briskness and tangy tangerine-pineapple-mango sweetness inform orange neon-hazed New England-styled India Pale Ale. Ripe citrus entry gains dank earthen musk and peppery snip over biscuity malts.
On tap at Beef Trust, easygoing yellow-marbled moderation leads with its pine-combed yellow grapefruit tang and tart lemon spritz. Limey gooseberry-passionfruit-guava-dried Nelson Sauvin hops, sour green grape tannins and vodka-tinged juniper nip coddle lactic milk-sugared pale malts.
Bone-dry, rosé-wined, ‘hot pink’ gose brings vinous lemon-salted green grape souring to subtle hibiscus tartness, leaving sparkling rosé reminder. Pink sea-salted citrus rind bittering gains mild cranberry pucker and acidic raspberry vinaigrette tinge upped by lactobacillus saison yeast.
On tap at Taphouse 15, easygoing beige yellow-hazed pale ale pairs perfumed yellow grapefruit tanginess with musky hop-oiled astringency, slowly gaining mandarin orange, tangerine and pineapple illusions above sweet grain malt bottom.
