Golden pour, frothy white head. Lots of activity in this beer. Bubbles galore! The smell is uneventful. I can’t gather much from it except malts and hops. And that’s really what it’s all about in the taste as well. Nicely blended but simple light roast malts and piney hops. Simple enough.

This is a remarkably bland beer for Dogfish Head. Not bad at all, just watery and uneventful. Mild citrus hop flavor and aroma.

Pours clear amber with a white head. Aroma is wood and hops. Flavor is more of the same, but the hops taste dirty to me. Not as crisp and clean as I would like. Mediocre.

Decent citrus and hops aroma. Nice mild hoppy flavors too. Pretty tasty for an APA.

Pours a clear amber/ copper color with a 1 finger fizzy white head that disappeared after a few seconds. Aroma of a nice sweet cotton candy floral hops and a little toffee. The flavor is grainy with a nice roasty flavor. Oats and brown sugar with a nice hop bitter in the finish. The body on this is a little thin, but not bad. Leaves a very malty flavor on the tongue.

Poured an amber color with a white head. Aroma was floral hops and a lot of malts. Flavor was malty and not well balanced. Not quite sure y this went wrong considering they make such good IPA’s
