Dogfish Head/The Flaming Lips Collab ‘Dragons & YumYums’ Pale Ale

BuffaloJern Leave a comment

Dragons & YumYums: 6.5 – A few things to note before reviewing. Yes that collab is with the band, and this is a pale ale brewed with a combination of dragon fruit, yumberry, passionfruit, pear juice, and black carrot juice. Which coupled with the art implies that a lot is going on; however, and this is critical – this is NOT a sour.

There is a whiff of bitter, but overall it’s just over the top tropical. With that combo of ingredients and the color of the beer you’d expect it, but it’s truly a sour w/o the sour and just a nice pale ale stuffed with tropical fruit. It’s complex and delicious, and has a theme song?

Price Average: $14 for 6-pack

Summer Vacation: Beer Camp 2016

BuffaloJern Leave a comment

Alright campers, time to end our Summer Vacation beer specials with a trip to beer camp. In previous years Beer Camp was an interesting idea where a bunch of breweries collaborated to make a 12 pack of unique beers. This time the field has expanded to include 30+ breweries but for only 6 beers! A fact that may actually come back to haunt this sampler like the ghost stories of our youth.

Dogfish Head Hellhound On My Ale

Hellhound: 2.0 – I’ll be honest – I don’t like this beer. I mean other beers have been able to use lemon to mostly middling results, but while this is certainly potent flavoring and it doesn’t become overwhelmingly lemon either something is wrong. It’s just not really the right mix of sweet/bitter/sour. However you get this in a shandy, and it shines like a diamond. (Honestly Mixability here would be a 7.5)

Dogfish Head Miles Davis Bitches Brew

Miles Davis Bitches Brew: 8.0 – This is a combo of honey beer, some roots, and an imperial stout – and I normally give Dogfish some ‘commentary’ on making weird beers just because they can. Not so here – this is a complex flavorful brew that has some real dark weight to it. I can’t complain though because it just tastes so good. (And yes I did mix it with the album)
