First had: on tap at DFH, Rehoboth

Clear golden-yellow pour, with a foamy white head. Citrusy hop aroma, balanced with bready malts; nothing surprising here. Taste was similar, citrus and grassy hops, pale malt backbone, decent balance of sweet and bitter, with light zest and apple skin notes. Light-medium body, and a solid brew overall, but nothing really distinctive.

12oz, July '12
Unmarked tulip
Enjoyed on tap at Deer Park Tavern the weekend of Firefly concert in DE.

A: Pours a fairly clear golden yellow color. On draft I didn't get much head, but the ring is bring white. Seems nicely carbed.

S: Smells light and biscuity actually. Grainy grassy hops. Sweet light grain bill. Maybe some light citrus hints.

T: Taste follows the nose, it's a very quaffable pale ale. Very faint bitterness on the tip of the tongue. Some of the citrus that I smelled. In the mid mouth you get those sweet grains. It's fairly crisp and refreshing compared to the old Shelter Pale. On the close, crisp and dry.

M: Light leading a touch toward a medium.

O: B+

A - Poured with a small head of white foam on top of a clear, golden body. Low retention but good lace.

S - Clean, bready malt with a bit of spicy red apple.

T - Yeasty bread and lightly musty hops up front. Some red apple and a background note of black licorice in the background with moderate bitterness in the finish.

M - Medium thick body, moderate carbonation, and a somewhat dry finish.

D - Not bad, iit is a pretty good interpretation of the style with a nice, bready malt profile, very drinkable.

Dogfish head description: An English-style Pale Ale with Marris Otter barley and American Calypso hops To add a fruity and citrusy aroma.

Enjoyed at the brewpub in Rehoboth Beach, DE

A: half finger head on a clear bright gold body.excelent lacing.

S: wheat, green apple, green grapes and light on the pale malts.

T: open with pale malts and barley moving slightly bitter hop varieties finishing with sweet fruitness mostly from citrus notes.

M: light to medium body and moderate to high carbonation. Most finish.

Overall: awesome experience being at the Rehoboth location. Pain in the but getting there on a Saturday in July but worth it. This one is highly drinkable, a little disorganized in the flavor but the flavors that are there are well done.
