Just bought this last month. Says that it is retired. Not sure if that is true or not. Pours a nice bubbly white head and a straw color with a hint of amber. Great hoppy notes with a mild scent of grapefruit. Very sessionable at only 4.3%. Nice carbonation. Hope it is still around, really enjoyed this one. Solid.

Del's builds a huge beige foam that lingers for a long while, leaving thick patches of lace on the Cisco Fisheye Pint. The beer itself is a hazy copper (SRM 16-18).

Strong aromas of pine and spruce, are accented with ginger. This seems to be a "spiced" IPA, with a fresh crisp overall aroma.

The flavors are muddy, but pine, cinnamon, and a little oak are noticeable. Bitterness is tame, with a lingering impact on the finish. Warmth brings out brown sugar, and lots of spice including ginger and nutmeg.

This is a full bodied beer with a velvety texture. Alcohol is noticeable, which is surprising for a 4.3% beer. It is well carbonated, and leaves some residual sugar on the lips.

Del's is a fine Autumn IPA, to be enjoyed with friends, perhaps while watching the pennant race. I do question the intended style, but a tasty beer is welcome regardless of style.
