Dogfish Head Ryehoboth

Despite previously reviewing the beer, my palette has evolved enough that I thought re-reviewing Dogfish Head Ryehoboth when I was at the Rehoboth brew pub was worthwhile. The beer pours a golden color with a frothy white head. The aroma consists mostly of rye and light hints of lemon. The taste is dry but smooth with some lemon flavor and big rye accents. There are bits of pine hops come forward on the finish. The alcohol content is 5.5% ABV. I really enjoyed the Ryehoboth, as it is a delicious and refreshing brew with a very smooth finish. It seems that this beer appeals to a wide variety of beer drinkers and is an excellent summer beer.

Dogfish Head Brew Pub- Rehoboth Beach


While on vacation, a group of us went to the Dogfish Head Brew Pub in Rehoboth Beach. The first beer I had was Ryehoboth, which was exclusive to the Brew Pub. The beer is light gold in color with a creamy, thick head. There was no aroma with this beer, which didn't surprise me too much because mose rye beers do not have an aroma. It had a light rye taste with a creamy after taste. The alcohol content is 5.5%. I was surprised at this beer, as I was not expecting much out of a rye beer and did not expect it to be so creamy. I thought it was pretty smooth drinking and very enjoyable.


At the Dogfish Head Brew Pub, they had a special brew of Whusahht IPA. This IPA is an imperial black IPA. The color is dark brown with a thick head. There is an overpowering floral aroma, which led me to bevieve that this was going to be a really hoppy beer. However, it has a thick creamy taste. The finish is very clean with a warming hop accent. The alcohol content is 8.5% ABV. Despite thinking that this beer was going extremely hoppy, I was pleasantly surprised and I thoroughly enjoyed the Whusahht IPA. The imperial black IPA was a new style to me, and I would like to try additional imperial black IPAs.
