Day 138 - Dolly Varden India Pale Ale



Metolius Brewing Co. - Dolly Varden India Pale Ale
Portland, OR (USA)
ABV 5.5%* Calories 160*


From Belgium IPA back to good old fashioned American IPA - this Dolly Varden (named after the trout/char pictured on the bottle art) had a nice initial scent and taste. Fairly hoppy, the bitterness stayed in your mouth - there was a small amount of citrus flavor but not nearly enough to balance out the bitterness. I wouldn't put this up there with my favorite IPA's - definitely not an overachiever.
