Great shit. I guess these guys invented the style in the mid 90’s and what a seminar on ’Hop Bombs’ in a bottle. Very soothing .,
I’m gettiing a head spin. Nice grassy ,chewy hoppiness ..pretty waxy and inprinting on my gumbs . Syrupy/Malt caramel . Alcoholic grapefruit everywhere. I alwayz knew this would rule. Can’t wait to sink some 120 minute.

Pours a nice clear ruby red. Aroma is strong and strangely musty, very musty actually, with some soily notes along with a bit of citrus. The head pours nicey but sadly dissipates quickly. Huge taste and very full bodied. This is a serious beer, strong taste with earthy notes in the end. Not for the faint of heart, very bitter, very fulfilling. I’m still waiting for an IIPA to please me as much as Weyerbacher’s amazingly wonderful Simcoe Unfiltered Double.

Bottle. I was excited for this one. It poured a nice golden color with a milky white, frothy head that stayed for awhile before dissipating. Very nice lacing. Aroma of hops and malts, and the taste was a wonderful blend of the two, with a bit of caramel and a brief hop attack to end it all. Aftertaste is sweet. Medium bodied. Since finally taking an interest in how my beer tastes, IPA is easily my favorite, and this one does not disappoint.

Pours amber golden with a thin white head. Nice hoppy aroma, grapefruit with a bit of pepper and the sweet caramel malt background. Classic American aroma.
A nice balance between malt and hop flavours here. A very sweet caramel dominates the hops for the first few sips, but the bitterness builds and takes it on nicely. A very prominent citric hop character, which dances over the back of the tongue and lingers for quite a while.
A very drinkable and strong flavoured beer, very nice.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours clear orange with a thick, white frothy head. Aroma of spice, raisins, hops, malt, and hints cinnamon. Full body, with a firm, sturdy finish. Excellent American IPA from Dogfish Heah.

let me first say im not an IPA person. its not my style. however, for an IPA its very good. flavor is heavily grapefruit oriented, and hey even i like eat a grapefruit from time to time. i can see why this is so popular, byt not really my thing all the same. but very good for what it is.

12oz bottle.Pours a dark amber red colour. Not a bad beer, I noticed a slight alc.% burn in the after taste though. Only thing knocking it from a higher rating for me. Maybe i’m just not ready for it yet, but solid over all.

My only real complaint of this is that it smells a little sweet when its first opened. It does however dissipate in time, and not alot of time either, happily. This is one hoppy beer! And damn tasty too.
