COASTAL BREW WORKS TROJAN SEAHORSE IPA

On tap at Paragon, ambitiously fruitful flagship NEIPA stays stylishly robust, but retains only slight vanilla creaming despite rich crystal pale malt base. Bright citrus zesting contrasts tartly yogurt-soured tropical fruiting with remarkable clarity. Sweet orange-peeled lemon meringue piquancy, sharp yellow grapefruit bittering and peachy mango tang lean towards a West Coast IPA while sourly salted guava, gooseberry and green grape illusions nod towards a New Zealand-hopped IPA. A heady delight!

HOOF HEARTED SOUTH OF ELEVEN 666 TRIPLE IPA

Intense hazy golden full body utilizes dry-hopped Mosaic variety to juice up fulsome 10.2% ABV NEIPA. Initial lemon lime-candied yellow grapefruit bittering and zesty orange peel sweetness plus ancillary peach, pineapple, papaya and tangerine tang gain mild resinous pine needling, syrupy spruce-tipped sugaring and peppery herbal snip. Creamily frothed vanilla-spiced crystal malting saddles rummy tropical fruiting as waxy clay lacquering persists for souped-up India Pale Ale.
