Dirty Dave's IPA
Bone Hook Brewing Co.

On tap at Coco Point Hyatt courtesy of Chris. Light in feel and in taste. More like a pale ale or maybe a session IPA. Liked its light hoppiness enough to order the exact same thing the nex night.

 

 

 

 

Very impressed with this offering from bone hook brewing. Easy to drink, but full bodied.

 

a solid ipa here, but nothing really out of the ordinary. its got a pleasingly light body, especially for how much grain character is in actually in here, and the hops are bright and fresh and only moderately bitter, a well enough made beer overall, my first from bone hook. pale in color, relatively clear, short white head fades fast from the tap. i get classic northwestern hops in the nose, grapefruit, maybe some simcoe in this among others, clean and bright though, not overly oily or intense, well balanced in the flavor too, hoppy without being aggressive in any way, very drinkable as a result. i like this beer well enough, but next to some other solid florida ipa types, it fails to distinguish itself, at least for me, an never quite impresses me, just a beer. for what its worth its one of the stronger straight up ipas we encountered on our trip, but its well hidden, the beer is dry and doesnt taste strong at all. id like to try some more beers from these guys next time i am down there...

 

From a tap at Oil Well Craft Brew Pub in Ave Maria, Florida, appears dirty gold with light hoppy smell. Tastes full with hearty feel. Of the 20 craft brews on tap here, after several flights to sample a dozen availables ales, this is a top shelf, my #1 choice here.

 

I found Dirty Dave's to be the perfect median between 'too hoppy' and 'too wheaty'. My only issue is finding more bars with it on tap. Also, is it bottled and sold anywhere local? Brewed in Naples, FL and I live in Naples.....I search and search....
