Dogfish Head has been brewing off-centered ales for off-centered people since 1995, with inspiration from every facet of life - the spice cabinet, music, even art.

What you have here is a serious India Pale Ale shacking up and hunkering down with mango and apricots. At the same time! Romantic Chemistry is brewed with an intermingling of mangos, apricots and ginger, and then dry-hopped with three varieties of hops to deliver a tropical fruit aroma and a hop-forward finish.

It’s fruity, it’s hoppy, it’s tasty!

12 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Clear golden amber with a finger of off-white head. Cool label art. Aromas of grapefruit citrus, floral notes, light ginger. Tastes of stone fruit, citrus, hint of ginger, candied fruit, malt, light floral. Medium body with a semi-dry finish. Solid IPA but expected a bit more to it.

Draft at Sunset Grill and Tap. 2/24/2016. Almost a completely clear light gold color, with fast dying white head. Aroma is rotten mangos, ginger root and apricot juice.

Is this supposed to have a funky yeast character? Because I get lasting funky mango and apricot throughout the sip with ginger root in the finish. I get very little bitterness but a mild lingering funk after the swallow. Medium in Body, mild carbonation.
