Dogfish Head American Beauty


Dogfish Head American Beauty     American IPA   9%ABV
Dogfish Head Brewing Co, Milton, Delaware

Rich, malty and hoppy specialty Imperial IPA brewed with Granola to honor the Grateful Dead.  This beer was brewed with almonds so there may be concerns for people with nut allergies.

A:  Pours a brilliantly clear golden amber with a lofty white head that leaves intricate lacing on the sides of the glass.
S:  Smells of citrus, honey, granola, big caramel malts, grass, and herbal elements along with notable piney hops.
T:  Lots of malt to balance the prominent yet modest American hops.  Taste follows the aromas very closely.
M:  Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a creamy texture that finishes with a noticeable sweet and slightly boozy finish.
D:  Drinkable yet notably high in alcohol.
