Dogfish Head Au Courant

Formerly brewed at Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Milton, Delaware USA

this beer was very interesting. it pours almost a purply orange with a pink like head. taste of current and citrus very warming with a dry finish.

Yup another imadeadguy gem. Poured gold with a white head. Good carb for being at least 5 years old. Aroma of fruit and candy. Refreshing fruit with some candy malt backbone. Stellar.

12 oz, thanks to lithy for sharing his 900th rating with this one! Didn’t know this was a retired beer at the time. red-brown with a nice lasting cap of foam. Nose of raisins and cherry. Tastes of raisins and cherry liqueur are dried well with some woody hop. Medium bodied, fairly smooth and acidic-dry.

Bottle at nearbeer’s Spring Cleansin’. Pours purple-hued orange with pinkish head. The aroma is black currant with some faint malty notes. The flavor is black currant, some oak, general dry fruitiness. Typical simple-minded fruit beer.

Rating #900. nearbeer’s Spring Cleansin’. Sample from a bottle shared by me thanks to loubrew at BA. 04 or 05 bottle. Ruddy red body with a pinkish white ring of head. Aroma is currant sweetness. Taste is of sweet black currents, with a woody earthiness. Not a horrifically sweet fruit beer.

Bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing. Pours a murky amber-brown with a white ring. Huge sharp aroma, of malt, wood, citrus, and apple. Taste starts tart, with citrus, currants, and wood then picks up more sweetness, of malt, and brown sugar. Lingering tartness. Strange, but decent.

Bottle and my last one at that! Pours a hazy, orange / golden color with an extremely large, frothy, white head. Lacing is very strong, almost perfect. Aromas of strong raisins, a bit of honey, and finally some cherries throughout. Initial feel in the mouth is creamy and smooth, followed by a nice carbonation sizzle and then a nice, refreshingly slick finish. Flavors are mostly raisins to me, and it honestly reminds me a lot of their Miades Touch but much better. Glad that I could enjoy my last bottle on a cold night in DC. My rating, when I come back to it, is going to be inflated because of the sentimental value of this wonderful beer.

12oz via trade with Ibrew1or2, shared with dalekliz. Nice to try another old DFH beer. Pours dark reddish brown with a tan head. Nose is sweet with some currants. Taste is sweet with plums and some currant. Cloying and interesting. Glad to have had it.
