Dogfish Head - Ryehobeth(Brewpub Exclusive) Review

Type: Rye Brewpub rarity

ABV: 5.5%

Sight: Subdued, but still a flashy golden yellow with nice orange flashes in the light. The head pours thin and bright white with very light glass lacing.


Aroma: Very light nose with subtle hints of citrus and light rye essence. All in all very mild smells from within.

Taste: Biscuit and light orange are upfront with a mild spice from the rye. There is very little hop presence, which usually would be a bad thing to me, but not in the brew. It helps the flavors flow to a finish that is very easy with a little more citrus and maybe a hint of clove or corriander.

Overall: Very easy and enjoyable on the palate. Light but still enough character balance between the rye and citrus to give it a complex feel. The ingredients mix well with each other and balance nicely. Mouthfeel is ultra light with no significant aftertaste at all.

Score: 8.0/10
