BROOKLYN RED SUMAC WIT

On tap at Doherty’s, heady 7.1% ABV heightens traditional witbier styling while foraged red sumac dryness drapes the usual Belgian yeast spicing, dainty orange peel tang and salty coriander-like spicing. Unmalted wheat graining adds light acridity to lemony gooseberry tartness, vinous green grape slake, green apple mist and cranberry pucker.

AVERY LILIKO’I KEPOLO WITBIER

On tap at Eddie’s Roadhouse, soft-toned witbier benefits from elegant lemony passionfruit tartness of exotic liliko’i tropicalia. Dry lemon-limed grapefruit tang gains brisk limestoned citric pucker. Mildly creamed crystal malting provides latent white-sugared contrast. Tertiary pineapple, peach, papaya, grains of paradise and mango undertones tingle the sleek citric-hopped bittering. In the can, “spices and passionfruit” bring ‘tropical island flare’ to lemon-juiced mandarin orange, tangerine and gooseberry illusions.

KELSO CARROLLGAARDEN WIT

On tap at Growler & Gill, soft-toned Belgian witbier’s lightly soured citric entry and grassy hop freshness receive dried orange peel tang. Latent coriander-spiced banana tartness, reluctant plantain wisp and wispy chamomile-ginger accents delicately insulate lemony mandarin orange finish. On tap at Standings, discovered orange juice-powdered tangerine glaze.
