STONE IDOLATROUS IPA
On tap at Plank Pizza, “blissfully” well-balanced moderate-medium body leads lemon-peeled pineapple, peach and mango tropicalia thru grassy herbal hop astringency, dank pine resin and sweet floral perfuming. A mellower IPA.
OTHER HALF GO WITH THE FLOW
On tap at Ambulance, crisply clean tropical fruiting gains light pine needling and musky floral herbage to contrast mildly vanilla-creamed caramel malt spicing. For a sour twist, limey gooseberry tartness gains a foothold alongside juicy grapefruit, tangerine, mango and peach tang. Just a tad outside the double dry-hopped IPA box.
KANE DONUT SHACK IPA
On tap at Plank Pizza, hazy gold-marbled IPA hybrid resembles a caramel-glazed vanilla donut up-front, letting its stylishly bittersweet orange-peeled grapefruit briskness settle alongside the sweet cake-like turbinado sugaring. Delicately tart Huell Melon-hopped sourness stays subtle while herbal cologne-perfumed notions seem enigmatic.

Tertiary mandarin orange, peach and strawberry illusions flutter. Somewhat unique IPA advertised as pizza accompaniment.
SINGLECUT DISTORTION
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, fruitful IPA lets tart mango, pineapple and blood orange adjuncts redirect slightly soured candied orange and grapefruit rind bittering. Mild herbal astringency tethers submerged sour-over-sweet tropicalia.
