Yet another fine IPA from Big Dog’s. This isn’t immediately bitter or overpowering, though the finish is hoppier than the body. Bodywise, it has a nice crispness and relative lightness to it. Good stuff.

Sampler at Big Dog’s Brewery. Big bitter flavor covering a slight flower base. Not too much sweetness end game. Nice.

A golden amber IPA with a thin off white head. In aroma, classic c-hops, pinhey and citrusy, quite nice. In mouth, a smooth oily malt with pinhey hops, lacking a bit of oomph, but very decent none the less. On tap at Big Dog Winterfest, Jan 29 2011.
