On tap at Growler & Gill, tropical fruited Enigma hop (similar to Galaxy hop) provides ‘guava’ and ‘hints of pine,’ as per label. But its grapefruit-sugared lemon peel tartness, orange-candied souring and grassy respite come forth more vibrantly for sunshiny medium body.
Bright grapefruit zing provides lively tang to wintry coniferous briskness and mild floral herbage. Sharp grapefruit peel and pith bittering gains sweet peach tone to contrast dry Huell Melon-hopped guava, mango and kumquat illusions at the midst.

On tap at Dog & Cask, sharply beefed-up version of Prime Bovine increases alcohol intensity (9% ABV) and citric bittering while lightening up on the reservedly creamed crystal-pale malting.

In the can, rum-soaked peach, tangerine and mango sweetness and swift vodka kick gain ground against orange-peeled grapefruit rind bite.
On tap at Taphouse 15, stylishly easygoing Imperial IPA (despite inconspicuous 8% ABV) lets soft-tongued yellow grapefruit-peeled lemon zest flutter above tropical Citra hop landscape, mild floral spicing and gentle oats-honeyed wheat malting.
