Festina Peche

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Festina peche

• Brewery: DogFish Head Brewing Company (Delaware)

• Style: Berliner Weisse

• ABV: 4.5

• IBU: 8

• Pour Color: A nice golden slightly green color and with the slightest fog to the glass.

      Just as the Face opens the bottle I get a nice scent off this one. A nice peach scent is easily smelled before it's poured. The pour came out golden and slightly hazy. It still can be seen through easy. The head was about a finger high for a few seconds before it disappeared. The scent off the glass was a little more of a fresh sour dough and peach mix. This one is a sour wheat beer and tastes like it. The peach though really makes a weird balance that seems to work. The echo of the wheat on the after taste is my favorite part of this one. Really a decent summer seasonal. 
      This one is a nice little seasonal that some really wouldn't enjoy. The sour is certainly in the taste of this one. While to me Apollo was overpoweringly sour, I didn't get that from this sour beer. It had enough bread and peach to give it a crispness and a balance. That nice peach flavor makes it quite refreshing for a summer swim in.

Tweason'ale

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Tweason'ale

• Brewery: Dogfish Head Brewing Company (Delaware)

• Style: Fruit/Gluten free Beer

• ABV: 6.0%

• IBU:15

• Pour Color: A dark golden color almost a bronze. Light travels through.

      Seeing this one poured was strange. Very carbonated compared to most beers. Also had no head what so ever. These I'm sure are a constant when you're making a grain less beer. The scent of this one was so weird. You get a yeast and a slight raisin scent. The taste is very strange too. The yeast is a strong part of the flavor. It also does have a slight malty flavor to it. A wheat flavor comes through with the raisin tone. The honey made this one slightly over sweet. The strawberry came through slightly but not very much. I found it drinkable and better then some beers that over do the fruit flavor.
      This is my first venture into gluten free beer. This mustache has a strong tolerance to gluten in most it's forms. The Face chose this one cause he has friends who can't drink beer. A strange blend of flavors in this one. Probably not the type of thing I'll be soaked in again. Although I get told all the time gluten free beers suck and are undrinkable. This one I actually found to be decent.

Chateau Jiahu

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Chateau Jiahu

• Brewery: Dogfish Head Brewing Company

• Style: Spiced Beer

• ABV: 10%

• IBU: 10

• Pour Color: A golden easily seen through glass of beer.

      This is a dogfish beer/fruit hybrid based on the oldest known fermenting recipe. It poured golden and clear. The head was nice fluffy and thick. It would be that way for awhile before being a film at the top the rest of the glass. The scent off the top is a nice caramel liquor scent. Just by smell you know this is a heavy hitter. The tastes are a mix of everything. The mix of honey and grape are amazing. A real fruity quality also gives you something different. Not a normal beer but something amazing none the less!
      This is another Dogfish invention of amazement. You think it's a beer or a wine or even a liquor... It's all of em and none of them at the same time. Hints of honey and tastes of apple and grape are just amazingly mixed. Sweet and strong this is the first beer I had that has legs when you swirl the glass. Just go get it. My description can't do this one justice go get one.

Aprihop

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Aprihop

• Brewery: DogFish Head (Delaware)

• Style: IPA

• ABV: 7%

• IBU: 50

• Pour Color: A bronze color, transparent

      I saw the dogfish head logo and knew it was good! The Face poured and it was actually kind of uneventful. Not really a head on it and a bronze color to it. The scents coming off the glass were apricot and hops. The second it hit the follicles I knew this wasn't just a fruit beer. Apricot isn't the star of this one but only a flower in the flavor bouquet that blooms. Both bitter and slightly sweet this one is another great beer. It proves again that Dogfish Head is amazing at making beer. 
      Dogfish Head and IPA always means I gotta try it. This is a hop heads kind of beer while also being a spring kind of beer. It blows me away how this one can feed you so much hop and finish it off with a sweet apricot taste. This is another one that I have to say, if you ain't tried it go get one now! Can't wait to see if it's better off the tap!

Noble Rot

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Noble Rot

• Brewery: Dogfish Head Brewing (Delaware)

• Style: ???... Saison?

• ABV: 9%

• IBU: 18

• Pour Color: A nice golden color, Almost a white sparkling wine look to it

      

      This one has a nice smell of fruit and a nice frothy head. Seemed extremely fizzy on the pour too. Face lifts it to me and... What the hell? I ordered a beer Face! This this is something completely different. This one drinks like a nice easy going wine. The grape taste is there, and having been soaked in a few wines, I can tell you this beer has that nice wine taste. The malts must be what makes the wine not have the after taste on the follicles you get from some wines. I really think this strange brew is comparable to some semi-sweet whites. 
      My local place, Custom Brewcrafters, makes a beer from 3 brothers brewery Riesling grapes that has a sort of flavor like this one. There's though is only a light beer so that the Riesling shines. This beer really is an amazing beer. I have tasted nothing like it and it really makes me re-evaluate wine in general. On top of that call it Noble Rot... Just amazing.

60Min IPA

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: 60 Minute IPA

• Brewery: DogFish Head (Delaware)

• Style: I.P.A

• ABV: 6%

• IBU: 60

• Pour Color: A transparent amber color

     The head started out high and fluffy after a sip or two it disappeared though. Real easy to stay curled through. You can clearly smell the hops right out the bottle and that doesn't stop after a taste. The mix of hops is nice and crisp. Unlike other beers I have reviewed, this one doesn't stop with the hops. Even after the swallow a strong hop taste is present. Chewing down hops is easy for a mustache like me so this one is really a delicious beer.
      Dogfish head was the first beer company that made me wonder if there is a hop limit to the madness. The 60min is so great I thought why not try the 90min. That one was good to. 120min and boom! That one took drinking once or twice before I could enjoy it fully... Drinking that beer is a chore in itself. This one though is the most refreshing and easy sipping version of the dogfish head I.P.A. variety.
