jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Dec 26, 2008 Updated: Feb 26, 200912 oz bottle. Pours a hazy orange body. The aroma is slightly hoppy, floral, and yeasty. The taste is incredibly smooth - nothing like the aroma suggests. Notes of sweet malt, fruit, and sugar. kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Dec 21, 2008 12 oz bottle from Countryside Liquors (Tampa, FL). 2007 bottle. Pours a dark golden with a thin white head. Little retention or lacing. Aroma is caramel, sweet, hoppy citrus, floral bouquet with a few notes of candy sugar, bread and yeast. Flavor is sweet and malty initially with notes of honey, ripe fruit and candy sugar that starts to turn more acidic, citrusy and slightly bitter toward finish. Medium body with a slightly sweet and slightly bitter finish. Nice ale.
ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 18, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours golden straw colored with lots of head and good lacing. Aroma is hoppy with some grainy notes. Taste was sweet but crisp with a mild amount of hop bitterness. Medium bodied with a nice, bubbly mouthfeel. This is a very nice and drinkable pilsner. branspra (204), Arlington, Virginia, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a large, white head, excellent lacing, and a nice yellow body. Aromas of citrus, a bit of pear, and some cereal. Lively carbonation with a creamy, slick texture. Long duration and nice bitter finish. Overall a good lager that I would much rather drink than those from AB or Miller. sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA Nov 19, 2008 Pours golden, white head.
Aroma, malty, fruity (grapefruit), has all the aroma of an strong imp. lager/pilsner.
Taste, lightly hoppy, malty (pine/fruity). Has the signature Dogfish Head, with hints of grapefruit, light caramel malts. Aftertaste leaves a light hoppy finish, with the abv being well present. MrChopin (622), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 18, 2008 Hazy gold with a frothy white head. Corn and citrus nose. Flavor is similar yet rather syrupy and sweeter with some honey. Mediocre pilsner at best, mediocre beer at best.
