Inspired by the ocean that connects us, Vibrant P’Ocean is a complex, ruby-colored ale with tart, dry flavors of jammy berries and floral lemon. To create this trans-oceanic potion, we carefully combined two unique base beers – one developed by Rodenbach and the other by our brewers here in Milton.
Rodenbach’s portion – a two-year, foeder-aged sour from its legendary, standing oak casks – was brewed in Belgium before making its 3,400-mile (or 1,000-nautical league) voyage to Delaware.
From there, it was blended with our portion – a kettle sour brewed with pilsner malt, malted wheat, elderberry, elderflower, sliced lemons and Belgian fleur-de-sel.
“We are absolutely honored to be the first to collaborate and create a beer in partnership with Rodenbach, the world’s most well-respected maker of sour beers,” says Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione. “I’m proud to say that our teams contributed equally on every creative facet of this beer – from the brainstorm to the brew to calibrating the vibrant, red hue of the beer though specific grain and fruit blends. We really took our time and focused on creating a mouth-puckeringly magical drinking experience.”

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Herbal and fruity aroma with jammy red berries, elderflower, soft wheaty pale malt. Flavour is mild tart with some sweetness. Body is medium. Pleasant, bit modest overall, expected more.

(Can) Clear reddish amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of dark berries, raspberries, elderflower, oak wood and a touch of vinegar. Fruity, tart taste with dark berries, elderberries, raspberry balsamic vinegar, almonds, elderflower and bay leaf. No bitterness. Light body, dry. Doesn't really reach the height and complexity I was hoping for, but it's tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

12oz can. Deep ruby copper in color, lovely. Its sweet and sour 😋 has the distinct rodenbach sour. Sweet and tart with light lemon on the finish.The berry portion reminds me of super diluted cherry cough drops.Its refreshing but a bit thin. It makes me want a rodenbach grand cru...drool...
