Gold bronze color, very little head, little lacing: no retention. The aroma is fruity with light hops & some tart maltiness. The flavor is malty, sour, interesting, not that refreshing. The tail is sweet & tangy, eh.

Bottle Poured a light orange amber with a nice foamy off-white head.. The lacing was good and the aroma was of light malt and hops, yeast and dough. The alcohol was noticeable and it had a light to medium body with average carbonation. The after taste had a bit of a bite. Not my favorite DFH.

Bottle. A hazy golden color with lots of rising bubbles and a rich foamy white head. Fresh beeries in the aroma with a slightly dry must. Fruity, mildly tart, and sweet flavors. A refreshing fruit beer. I would love to see this blended with a stout. Thanks to nuffield for the beer.

Bottled Golden with a hint of purple. White head. Black currant aroma with acidic notes. Fruity. Sweet, fruity, black currant flavour. Dogfish head ARE crazy. In this case it it is good. But just as often it is bad.

Pours a foamy off-white head on a hazy orange body. Aroma is mostly malty and yeasty but with a strange cheesy tone. Flavor has malt, hops and spices and a bit of currant in the finish. Taste like beer with added vodka currant.....

Cloudy golden body with a persistant white head. Yeasty spicey nose with a dark touch of currant and plum. Lively light mouthfeel with a spicey flavore. Touches of belgian yeastyness and corriander, cobweb and a little currant. Finished dry. Currants could have been a bigger player in this one

Dull orange with fine white head and small bubbles. Sour citrus cream nose and some malt. Nice sparkle on the tongue with a medium weight. Flavour is sour/sweet with citrus and currant(duh) followed by a cleansing but lingering sour note. Very tasty and fun to drink
