Jun 18, 2009 Updated: Nov 8, 2009Clear dark amber pour, medium creamy khaki head. Huge pungent hop aroma - grapefruit, passionfruit, hop oils and resins. Full bodied, but surprisingly restrained in any sort of alcohol heat. Lots of caramelly malts. Not too bitter. In general, manages a quite delicate balance between the almost excessive quantities of malts and the hops. In its own way, there’s little doubt this is good stuff. Lots of similarities to Founder’s Devil Dancer, which I slightly prefer.

Jun 14, 2009 12oz brown bottle. Bottled on 3/20/09. Served in a Duvel tulip. Poured a bright gold/amber with a finger of off white head. Piny/citrusy hop aroma with a little alcohol, also a bit of oak. This started off with a good malt base. Not as much hop bitterness as the aroma might suggest. In the flavor, the oak is pretty subtle, mostly in the finish. Solid medium body. Good beer, nice balance.

Jun 9, 2009 This is my favor dogfish head beer!!!smells of plungent hops. Pours a nice light brown with a small sweet head. Nice hoppy flavor that is smoothed out by the aging in the oak. The amazing taste stays in your mouth for a time to let you linger in the greatness!!!! and great news it gets better with age!!!!!

Jun 5, 2009 Bu au Mondial 09, 3 juin (#1). Rousse acajoux, peu de collet. Arome d’houblon légèrement sucré, malte boisé. Goût houblonné impressionnant, l’amerturme pas trop imposante, avec une touche boisé. Exelent, aussi bon que la 90 m!

Jun 2, 2009 Pours clear copper, with a thin beige head, good lacing. Smells of pine, grapefruit, grass, dough, and caramel. Medium-thick bodied, dry. Tastes of oak, grass, dough, just a hint of dark fruit. Long lasting, medium-bitter aftertaste, with subtle earthy and grassy hop notes.

Jun 1, 2009 clear copper pour, yellowish fizzy head and nice lacing.
very floral, grassy aroma, pinapple, grapefruit and all that. also some oak and vanilla, though a bit faint.
first thing in the taste is alcohol, leading to a very smooth, relatively mild (for DFH) bitter finish.
there’s some sweetness to balance, maybe caramel and toffee, and also significant vanilla.
thick creamy body, subtle carbonation.
very nice.
