Hair of the Dog Ruth

Pale Ale? Like everything that HoD does, this is a big, complex version or re-imagining. Very nice flavor but still pretty heavy. A sipping pale ale.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden, small tan head. Aroma is malt, some touches of hops and grapefruit, hiding in the background is a touch of yeast. Sweet malt, hops and yeast are the flavor profile. Dry and bitter finish.

The bottle looks really good, like all the Hair of the Dog bottles. Turbid orange in the glass, creamy head. Starts very hoppy, intense lemon notes, also a bit apricot. Grasy yeasty in the middle, finish quite sourish, still very hoppy. Really good!

bottle, pours hazy gold, medium white head. Citrus hop aroma with a light malt and orange peel flavor ending with a peppery hop note that lingers. This is good.

Decent Pale. Nothing significant that would draw me back to purchasing more.

Draught at the brewery. Thanks, Alan. Creamy and clean pale ale; Amarillo hops. Really flavorful and easy to drink. Certainly not as mind-blowing as their other beers, but a very flavorful and sessionable PA that will hold its own with any out there. I want a chance to have a few pints.

12 oz bottle from Capones. Poured a hazy marmalade orange body sitting underneath a super quickly disipating frothy bright white head. Aroma is fruity and sweet with notes of honey combs, grass, and flowers. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a bitter finish. Flavor isn’t quite as floral with more fresh hops showing up, grains, fruit rinds. Not bad but hey it’s an APA so it’s not like it’s gonna knock your socks off with complexity, good enough though.
