COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Boat Beer is designed to be complex enough to merit drinking a few without being crippled by alcohol. Kolsch yeast and German malts are combined to be crisp and refreshing, while a generous amount of American hops have been added to keep it remarkable. Expect it to dance out of the glass with a whack of grapefruit and open into a crisp, stony tangle of white and yellow fruit with pine and moss notes. An IPA for everyday drinking, drink boat beer when you are thirsty from softball, fishing, or explaining why your team is best.

keepersj12 (2275) - Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA - APR 1, 2012
This may be the best example of the style I’ve had. Very light in color with a white head. The aroma is very hoppy, clean fresh air and pine. The flavor is crisp and clean with the hops dominating. The finish is very dry and refreshing.

fbm115 (183) - New Jersey, USA - MAR 1, 2012
On tap at Haley’s Harp & Pub. Pours a hazy golden color with a small eggshell white head. Smells like grapefruit, pine and citrus rind and a bready grainy malt. Taste is resinous bitter grapefruit and pine. Malt is mild and a touch grainy with a straw husk taste. Overall dry, bitter and refreshing. Easy drinking beer with a heathy bitter bite. A tasty offering that I can enjoy a couple pints of and continue through the day.

dogfishho (510) - Bloomfield, New Jersey, USA - FEB 12, 2012
The best session beer I have ever tasted. In spite of the relatively low alcohol content, there is tremendous body and flavor. Nicely hopped against what must have been a relatively light malt bill.

On tap at Cloverleaf. Pours a golden orange color with a big white foam head. Aroma of grapefruit, citrus, pine, and earthiness. Sweet citrus flavor with a nice hop hit and some resin on the backend. Would love this if the abv were higher. The aroma is really good.
