Easygoing pale ale with IPA-like Mosaic/Idaho 7 hop profile affording floral-daubed citrus bittering and earthen pining over sugary crystal malts. Zesty lemon rind thrust invites polite orange-peeled grapefruit pith bitterness to the fore as grassy hop astringency beckons.
On tap at Stosh’s, briskly embittered West Coast-styled pale ale lets lingered floral cologne musk and stiff juniper bite sink into lemony orange pith dryness contrasting red apple and tangerine sweetness of IPA-designed medium body. Mildly piney Centennial/ Mandarina Bavaria hop blend promotes perfumed citrus oiling above dry pale malting.
On tap at Ambulance, hazy IPA-styled pale ale invites candied orange, tart pineapple, floral lychee and salted mango fruiting to light pine lacquering over oated wheat creaming.
Busy lactose-free turbid-bronzed New England styled pale ale combines sharp citrus-spiced hop bite with dank pine resin above dry oats. Orange-peeled pink grapefruit tang contrasts orange rind-embittered yellow grapefruit bittering. Not as creamy or succulently sweet ‘n soured as trending NEIPA’s since it’s a milder pale ale.
Brisk sunshiny tropical fruiting blissfully settles alongside floral perfumed sweetness contrasting modest herbal pining. Bittersweet grapefruit-peeled orange zesting, polite lemon liming and peachy pineapple-mango tang glide above lightly creamed oated wheat base of terrific New England-styled pale ale (with definite sessionable IPA aspirations).
Effervescent Paloma cocktail knockoff with zesty grapefruit juicing and sea-salted agave nectar and lime peel resonates like a nifty grapefruit Margarita. Lemon-wedged guava, passionfruit and kiwi tropicalia plus agave-cologned vodka kick add inertia to 8% ABV ‘double golden ale.’
Debuting in 2023, strong Citra hopped pale ale (8.5% ABV) is a bolder Zombie Dust offshoot retaining lush tropical fruiting but only a modicum of original’s honey roasted barley crisping. Bittersweet orange-peeled yellow grapefruit zesting gains lacquered pine insistence and mild black peppered herbage as creamy vanilla froth girds plush orange marmalade, pineapple cake, lemon candy, mango and tangerine insistence fueled by crystalline ethyl alcohol esters.
Durable hazy golden pale ale dupes New England IPA’s yogurt-milked wheated oats creaming and tart gooseberry-guava souring to serenade vibrant citrus rasp of richer stylistic departure. Lemony orange bittering lets mild spruce licks, subtle juniper swoon and delicate floral spicing penetrate the off-dry tropical fruited surface.
Zestful pineapple-juiced grapefruit tanginess and sharp orange rind bittering roll into slightly dank resinous pine-licked evergreen minting above dry pale malts.
On tap at Taphouse Grille – Wayne, mild crushed uziza peppering provides light burn to variant pale ale. Tempered by its lively lemon twist and steady cologne mist, sedate green and red pepper prod retains slightly sweet sway. Soothingly interesting pepper-plied moderation.
Prominent Citra-hopped yellow grapefruit sunshine gets bitterer as dankly pined Amarillo hop dryness and whiskeyed peating absorb oats-flaked raw wheat spine of well-balanced New England-styled pale ale. At the midst, limey passionfruit souring contrasts honeydew-peach-pineapple sweetness and salted mango snip before floral-daubed herbage surfaces at the zestfully dry citrus-glazed finish.
Ambitiously perplexing pale-toned breakfast buffet conditioned on cinnamon and milk-sugared coffee remains weirdly chameleonic hodgepodge. Somehow connecting cold-brewed coffee overtones with smoky cinnamon bark spicing, powdered sugar marshmallow fluffing and pancake-battered maple syruping, its spritzy lemon twist rims the light-roast java stead but the limey cologne waver sometimes clutters the spiced coffee finish. An intriguingly offbeat cinnamon coffee cake elixir.
