On tap at Ambulance, dryly tropical lime and coconut-soaked collaboration with Virginia’s Aslin Beer Co.

Somewhat unconvincing IPA hybrid needs to push the coconut forward.

FUNK SILENT DISCO INDIA PALE ALE
Refreshingly clean pine-combed tropical fruiting regales turbidly amber-hazed medium body.

MAINE WOODS & WATERS INDIA PALE ALE
Crystalline Maine water provides brisk crisping to fruitful gold-cleared moderate-to-medium body. Vibrant floral-daubed pink grapefruit, mandarin orange, pineapple and mango tanginess gains mild orange-candied lemondrop tartness and spicy respite to contrast resinous piney hop oiling and earthy herb-nipped cannabis dankness. Delicately creamed orange marmalade froth tickles the tongue up-front while its dough-sugared barley-wheat spine pleasantly sweetens the backend. A soft, cushiony splendor.
ANCHOR BLACKBERRY DAZE IPA

Sweet peach, mango and tangerine illusions fill out the backdrop nicely.
BRONX NO RESOLUTION INDIA PALE ALE

FOOTHILLS JADE IPA
Solid moderate-medium body retains sunny disposition as mild orange-peeled grapefruit, peach, pineapple, mango and tangerine tang (as well as wispy lemon-perfumed oiling) guard its dank piney hop pungency. Creamy pastry-like pale malt sweetness picks up vanilla notions underneath.
