Dogfish Aprihop

WWED Grade: B+

Appearance: Clear. Hazel/burnt orange in color. Little head that died fast.

Smell: Definitely some hops and fruit in there (as the name suggests).

Taste: Wow – well done. Yeah – a subtle apricot taste, on top of some serious hops. As I drank on – the apricots were even more profound, but not overwhelming.

Drinkability: Very drinkable. The carbonation is crisp. Not a beer you’d be able to chug – but why would you do that anyways?

ABV: 7%

Serving Type: Bottle poured in goblet.

Dogfish – you gone and done it again! Produced a delicious seasonal here. The Apricots are a bit stronger than the IPA – more sweetness than bitterness. Not Jolly Rancher sweet – I’m getting the back notes of an apricot. Not necessarily a beer I’d look for year round (nor a beer they’ll be brewing year round) – but I’ll definitely put a case or two through my fridge, to share/enlighten my friends. Not sure I’d pair it with a meal – but could go well with apricots or chocolate. I enjoyed it on it’s own after dinner. Drink it. Enjooooooooy……
