Squall IPA

Poured slightly cloudy with a quarter inch of slightly off-white foam. Surprisingly the retention held on for quite some time in spite its small stature. Lacing was spotty but sticky. Aroma is a tall order of hops. Amarillo hops with citrus, mango, and floral. A bit of sweet malt make up the backbone. Taste sort of starts a bit slow with a touch of sweet that is almost syrup in quality. Hops start in the middle with a big dose of orange and some heat from the alcohol. Hops build even more in the into the finish carrying a bite of bitterness. Pine and citrus are the biggest players. Big body for a DIPA with very little carbonation. Dries the palate while being very close to coating like a sticky mess. Drinkable for a big beer but the hops do ruin the palate maliciously. I keep giving Dogfish another try and they are nothing but average to me. Enjoy!
