Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

 

A: Frothy stone white head, slight at on half inch, sits atop a dank orange colored body. Suspension of micro-particulate matter dances within from tiny effervesce. Solid presentation, thirsty.

S: Fresh wet citrus/lemon notes are first, with some whole peach. A fresh wet grassiness hop showing with a hint of peppery spicing, melon all of solid strength.

T: Flavor had a sharp citric bite of citrus-lime. Strong grassiness, some peppery notes with a raw tropical fruitiness. Herbal melon, grapefruit and citrus-pine mixture. Sticky hop resins.

M: Sharp carbonation, frothy feel on the tongue, juicy dank depthness, oj-esque, with sticky hop resins.

O: A great presentation, strong hoppy nose and bitterning hop flavor and palate. Great drinkability. A wintery release that is perfect for the spring or summer time as well, crisp, hoppy, heavy on the malt side. Big bite of pine-grassiness feels old school.

 

12oz can with a best by May 26 date, opened 3-15-26.
2 finger barely off white head with excellent retention. golden honeyed body - not clear or opaque. Full lacing.
Aroma offers a mixture of orange, pine, peach...almost gets close to the dreaded "fruit salad" descriptor but doesn't cross the line. Floral is another descriptor floating around in my head.
Thick with orange (sweet/ripe) and pine flavor. There's a bready vanilla flavor floating around...?
Medium body with a soft mouthfeel and a moderate but persistent punch of bitterness. Hoppy finish and ultimtely on the dry side.
Unique and walks the line between many version/styles of IPAs.
Very Good.

A delightful winter seasonal offering from Dogfish. It’s a hoppy liquid with a slight haze but not quite a NEIPA. It’s like a cross between as hazy and a west coast. Really good nice tropical sweetness with a bitter bite to follow. A clean dry finish that has you coming back.

 

Beautifully clear, golden amber color with a low, persistent white head and nice drapes of lace.
Straight up, on point pine and earthy hop aroma of a true and appropriate IPA from any coast where the brewer/ brewery knows wtf it's doing. Faint hints of lemon in their place of deference on the periphery.
Exceptional balance of barley malt sweetness - caramel and honey, grain and cashews with pine pitch conifer bitterness, leather and grass hop character.
Proper 7% strength leans in just enough to be noticed, not to over heat but to compliment the brew.
This beer is crafted with respect for the beer style and it's lovers in mind.
Body is a solid medium, the finish is a long and balanced mix of everything stated above.
Absolutely NOTHING hazy or NEIPA-like about this one.
Outstanding.

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazed orang-amber color with a one finger head of off-white tinted foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time and leaving a ton of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – the aroma is heavy of a citrus smell with notes of orange and grapefruit along with some other fruit smells of apricot and peach. Along with these aromas comes notes of pine and herbal hop as well as some light bready smells.
Taste – The taste begins with a bready and light grain malt flavor mixed with some flavors of grapefruit hop and a bit of pine. There is a light tangerine and apricot mixed in there as well, adding a light level of sweetness. As the taste advances some notes of grass and hay as well as a little bit of a vegetal hop like taste join in, taking the taste to its end and leaving a diversely hopped-up taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness and chewiness with a moderate carbonation level.
Overall – A decent IPA overall. A variable blend of hops with a light level of sweetness and a moderate malt backbone. Worth a try for sure.

 

"May 2026" 12 ounce can date, pours a golden yellow color, short head, low carbonation and high suspension. Intense hop and malt aroma. So very smooth hop and malt taste. The pine is right and malt smooth. Citrus notes in aroma and taste. A manly American IPA. I'd buy it again.

 

 

Pours a pale amber with a cream colored head that hangs around and leaves trails of lace.

Light floral and tropical fruit notes with a chalky candy malt scent.

Taste follows nose with notes of star fruit and papaya.
