| Smell | The aroma is a little less hoppy than I expected, but still nice with faint citrus notes and hints of pine. | ||||
| Appearance | Poured a clear, orangeish amber with a modest head. | ||||
| Taste | Awesome hoppy, bitter grapefruit, pine and sweet malt flavors, but the alcohol burn is quite noticeable. Despite the burn, I enjoyed it thoroughly and will order it again if I see it. | ||||
| Comments | My beer mongers say not much of this beer makes it to the east coast, so I feel fortunate to have found it on tap. I like the portrait of the hophead guy on the label. | ||||

How would you compare this to Dogfish 90?
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying a DFH 90 as I write this. I would have to go with Hoptimim oven DFH 90. Hoptimum has great flavor, but the alcohol is quite noticeable. The alcohol is well hidden in DFH 90, but the flavors I like in a big IPA are not quite as intense.
