Sunny lemon zesting, sweet orange peel tang and bitter yellow grapefruit juicing join lesser mango-guava-lychee tropicalia and lacquered wood respite. Lingering citrus bittering gains clean vodka brining.

STONE 27TH ANNIVERSARY LEMON SHARK DOUBLE IPA
Uniquely easygoing slightly sour IPA combines New Zealand-sourced hops (Peacharine/ Riwaka) with citric Mosaic hops given nifty Sauvignon Blanc grape skin extraction over buttery baguette toasting. Upfront, mellow lemony yellow grapefruit bittering usurped by subtle peach wine swoon, tingly green mango tang, slight nectarine sweetness and wispy pineapple snip, burying its herbal-tinged pine restraint.
HUDSON VALLEY SKY THING DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Ambulance, soft creamy vanilla froth heads smoothly citric dry-hopped IPA. Reserved lemon meringue, mandarin orange, peachy mango and white grapefruit serenity given resinous pine tinge backed by mild oats base.
FIFTH HAMMER BABY ALIEN HAZY IPA
On tap at Ambulance, bright tropical fruited zestiness spreads thru mild vanilla creamed oats-sugared malting. Sunny lemony grapefruit-peeled navel orange briskness bursts forth, gaining slight crayon waxing and dank pine resin.

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.
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.
TWIN ELEPHANT HERD IS THE WORD INDIA PALE ALE
Soft-toned, double dry-hopped, nickel-hazed IPA allows mild lemony grapefruit bittering and peachy mango-guava tang to float above frothy vanilla-creamed oated white wheat base. Lemon meringue, orange marmalade and advertised ‘guava jelly, mango chiffon cake and coconut milk’ illusions flutter gently.
