UPDATED: FEB 5, 2005 ReRate 2-nov 2004 12oz bottle-pours a light orange hue with no floaties or anything like that. decent white head. aroma of apricots, peach, pineapple sweetness, green apples and lots of residual malt sweetness. sweet malty flavors with some twangy citric hops. lots of apricot and pineapple in the flavors along with some cantelope notes. The malt sugars are just to detracting for me to really get into this beer. Im sorry, this beer is over-rated! i will say that the palate is very good-no trace of alcohol anyplace! ReRate-12oz bottle-bottled in september 2003-sampled 1/27/04. pours a deep orange color with long lasting big bubble head. Aroma of sweet/sour apples/cherries thats very different from most IMP IPA’s. Must have something to do with the english malts and the high alpha acid hops. Strange palate-full of cherries and somewhat like a belgian beer IMO. Very sweet, almost detracting. Apricots? Did i get a bottle of Aprihop? Well balanced, but definately a twist on the IMP IPA style. Cask at RAF 2/28/03 hmm, somethimg may have been off on this cask because this beer definately didn’t have the hop kick i was planning on. No malt to speak of in the palate either-very one dimensional. Did anybody else sample this and think that the cask was off?

Well balanced IPA Dogfish Head knows what they are doing. Crisp hoppy bold flavor not a strong alcohol taste. One of my favorites!

Called "possibly the best ipa in america", i agree! Purchased on a whim from local store. Was blown away by the amazing collection of flavors and huge hop presence but velvety finish. Very smooth and drinkable. This is a GREAT beer!

Appearance was clear red honey caramel gold with creamy lasting off white 1 finger head, lacing throughtout glass. Aromas where sweet honey caramel malts, then soft citrusy lemon, figs, orange,pine and grapefruits.Easy nose with soft hops and sweet malt. Taste was the star, malts of sweet caramel and honey.Hops of citrus and tropical fruitsof figs, orange, grapefruit, and resin with balnace of both. Palate was silky creamy carbonation with a balanced body. The finish was a long beauty of hops and malts. Wonderful, like better colder than warmer...

Bottle to chalice poured an amber with orange hues, medium frothy white head, and minimal lacing. Aroma includes tangerine, grapefruit, and figs. Taste is a symphony of flavors including honey and raisins upfront followed by citrus and pine hops. Finish is extremely smooth and creamy with a wonderful mouthfeel. Excellently crafted, complex, yet very drinkable Imperial IPA.

Ruby red pour no head simple lacing. Light aroma of citrus, hops, pine, and grass. Butterscotch taste with pine, citrus, hops and spice. Super smooth and creamy on the palate. This one finishes really well.

12 once bottle, aromas of all hops, flavors the same, best off the 4 variants DFH does.

Amazing brew. Hoppy hoppy hoppy. Butterscotch, citrus, toast, caramel, banana, leather, smoke, woody.

Tastes like a darker ipa but is medium in color. Interesting flavor, not as good as initially thought. Slightly citrussy with slight pine.

Smells fruity and hoppy with a little straw as the pour matures. Blondish amber colour. Decently creamy head with great tracing. Taste has a good balance of booze. Palate is pretty thick, long-lasting. From City Market Co-op in Burlington.

On tap at Yardhouse in Brea. Sweet hop aroma and a nice white head. A hoppy citrus flavor that with a smooth aftertaste.
