Dolph DDH IPA
Brewski

 

 

 

Pours an opaque orange, but turns murky when the final couple ounces are poured into the glass. Head is two fingers of white foam that retains and laces well. Aroma is tangerine, papapya and mango with biscuity, bready, lightly earthy malts. Papaya, tangerine, mango, orange, and lemon zest create the brunt of the flavor profile. Biscuity, doughy, bready malts create the remainder of the flavor profile, but fall short of establishing balance. Mouth feel is lightly vevelty, with a medium-thick consistency. Overall, tropical fruit notes are the majority of the story here, but don't come off super clean or refreshing.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 16oz can. $4.99 for the 16oz makes this not a great buy value-wise.

 

 

Pours an opaque pale brownish yellow, with tons of sediment.

Smell is juicy, on the verge of astringent, witn notes of pineapple, mango and a hint of licorice.

Taste starts off juicy, and slightly perfumey with nice hop bite before going all in on yeast/hop burn. The liquid almost burns on your tongue, and just doesn't seem quite... finished.

Muthfeel is medium and oft, well carbonated.

Overall, this is hard to score properly. It looks ugly, but smells nice. The taste starts nice but the burn, jeez, the burn. Would probably need to try another bottle.
