White Dog IPA
El Segundo Brewing Company

Poured from 16oz can into my BeerAdvocate teku. Canned 7/16/24.

Appearance: light golden hue with a bit of haze and a thick finger of frothy ivory foam atop.

Smell: lightly juicy with notes of citrus and pineapple. Simple, but good.

Taste: moderately sweet malt with some citrusy hops; there’s more of a dankness to the flavor than in the aroma. It’s not necessarily bad, but it’s not super well attuned to my palate.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: a pretty solid classic American IPA, though not one that I am personally super into.

 

 

 

 

 

My experience before drinking this beer was like Dorothy getting lifted up by a tornado - it was all over the place. First off, I’ve been more disappointed by El Segundo than I’ve enjoyed them. And then today, I read a review that a BA member liked this beer more than the recent batch of Alpine Nelson. Ok... So by the time I got to my local corner store, I told homeboy I needed some White Dog - but he said don’t waste your money because it’s junk! Wtf!? What is a BA to do!????

So I bought two anyway. And consensus? Not bad. Definitely better than Paris Hilton’s acting career, but is that saying much? It’s light, it’s soft, it’s smooth... Nothing amazing like Brian Eno during the 70’s. But it’s ok for what it is.

Peace!
