May 20, 2009 This hazy copper ale poured with a decent beige head and a few floaties. There is a sharp citrus aroma and a flat but tasty malt flavor with lots of oak and some faint hop bitterness. This thing is really complex and hard to describe. I’ve never had a DIPA that tasted anything like this.

May 19, 2009 Poured from 12oz. Bottle into Snifter glass.
Pours a medium copper color with an inch of slightly off-white head that dissipates in to a fine ring around the glass. Aroma has sweet malts, slight oak and a touch of booze. Flavors include caramel malt, raisins, a bit of oak flavor and the alcohol has a warming sensation and even more so as it warms up. It has a chewy medium body. This is a nice IPA although for the money I’d say there are other options that I’d rather go with.

May 18, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of GAManiac. Thanks, Grant. Pours a clear reddish amber, no haze, nice fiery hues, with moderate offwhite head, good carbonation, laces some. Aromas are very nice, gumball and lemon zest, some tropicals, with some grapefruit, florals, and overall, inviting citrusy hop bouquet. Initial is medium bodied, a bit sweet, lending, some caramel and pale malts, sweetness, citrusy and candy like gumball, a bit syrupy in consistency, with tropical fruit, taking on a touch of pine and more florals in the finish. Moderate bitterness, hops are a little faded or just not strong. Still, I like the malt profile on this, and the aroma is heavely. Body and flavors are a bit off, but still good. Warms going down. A decent DIPA.

May 18, 2009 Bottle: Poured orange with slight thin head. Smell sweet and malty with ethanol. Flavor was sweet with slight bitterness and a light wood flavor that seemed to balance out the sweetness. Dogfish Head beers tend to be on the sweeter side, which is something I personally like about their beers. Well done!

May 15, 2009 Bottle. Nice medium-dark amber color with a medium and fine light-tan head. Plenty of fruity, oaky malt comes through in the aroma along with some citrusy, fruity hops. Flavor comes with strong caramel, syrup, raisin malt, accompanied by a bit less hops than I’d expect from an IIPA. Still, the piney, citrusy hops do round out the flavor pretty well to make a very tasty beer. Nice palate, too.
