FLYING FISH BREWING

ABBEY DUBBEL

Winner of the silver medal at the 2008 Great American Beer Festival, this Belgian-style Abbey Dubbel is an exceptionally complex beer with many interwoven flavors. This classic-style Abbey beer features an immense head with a fruity nose and a generous body. Malty in the middle, the beer features a clean, almondy dry finish and a slight alcohol warmth. More like a wine than a beer—it has a lot of the qualities of a fine Burgundy.

Beer writer Michael Jackson has praised the Flying Fish Dubbel as "a wonderful example of the style."

Hops: Styrian Golding

Swing Session Saison

Victory Brewing                    

Swing. It’s a lively jazz rhythm, a vigorous sway, a change of view or even a roll in the proverbial hay. Now, it also means the welcome jolt of joy you’ll experience upon your first sip of this session saison. Swing into spring with taste!

Composition

Malt:

German malt and grains (Rye, oats and wheat).

Hops: Hopped with German and American hops. Spiced with peppercorns, orange peel and fresh lemon zest. Belgian saison yeasts.

ABV: 4.5%

Flavor

With its citrus swagger and spicy refreshment, Swing Session Saison offers you a jazzy jolt of joy. This Belgian-style ale is bracing but benign and enlivens any experience.

Raison d'Etre

Dogfish Head in Delaware

A deep mahogany, Belgian-style brown ale brewed with beet sugar, raisins and Belgian-style yeast.

We began brewing this one at our pub in 1996 (we began packaging and selling it sometime in 1998) as the answer to the question, "What beer should I enjoy with a wood-grilled steak?" Raison D'Etre fits the bill. It's as tasty and complex as a fine red wine.

Aprihop

Dogfish Head in Delaware

Our fruit beer for hopheads!

Aprihop is an American IPA brewed with Pilsner and Crystal malts. It's massively hopped -- in the continuous fashion, of course! -- and the flavor is complemented by the addition of apricots.

After fermentation, the beer is dry hopped with irresponsible amounts of Amarillo hops. The beer has a hoppy aroma, with the apricots playing a supporting role.

The flavor is rich with late hop flavors, and its bitterness is tempered by just the right amount of malt sweetness and fruity undertones from the apricots.


HOW TO TASTE A BEER

  • LOOK at the color and head.  Colors range from yellow to black. Is the head full? Bubbly or flat?

  • SMELL the bouquet.  Is it fruity?  Is it flowery?  Is it spicy?  Does it smell like bread, yeasty?

  • TASTE.  Is it bitter (hops)? Is it sweet (malt)? Is it fruity? Is there a particular spice flavor to it?

  • FEEL the body of the beer. Swirl it in your mouth. Is it thin or chewy?  Bubbly or smooth?

  • FINISH.  Does it linger on the palate? Is it clean and pleasant? Does it invite a second taste?
