Imperial Dog

22 fl oz bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and solid hoppy. Bitter and citrusy. Bitter, soapy and grapefruity to pinewood. Dry and bitter finish.

Bottled. Light grass aroma. Salty oysterlike to balance the grassy hops. Kind of like miso soup, sea weed - weird. Light body. mhhhhh

Some earthy and biscuity malts with light herbal hops and a bit of citrus. Has a nice dry, bitter finish. Not over the top and definitely mislabeled (not imperial in any way) but it’s very drinkable IPA.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Gilly's, 2/25/10

Aroma: Nose is mostly citrus hops along with some toast, malts, and some orange
Appearance: Hazy dark orange color, creamy beige head with good retention and lots of lace
Flavor: Has a nice dry feel to it, toasted malts, mild sweetness, balanced by a decent hop bitterness
Palate: Fairly smooth and palatable, the mouthfeel is solid, a bit on the chewy side, medium (plus) body
Overall Impression: I've never had anything from Pub Dog, but I have had stuff from Clay Pipe, anyway, this beer is pretty solid. A nice IPA with a good nose, and a nice flavor to it. Nothing too crazy but it works pretty well with my taste. Good to see some new bottled beers from my state showing up on shelves.

**Just submitted a Photo for this one as well, as it was missing one.
