Dogfish Head American Beauty

Dogfish Head American Beauty is an American Pale Ale. This Imperial Pale Ale is a part of their music series, this time around the beer is inspired by The Grateful Dead. Dogfish Head reached out to the Dead’s loyal fans for ingredient suggestions and after more than 1,500 offerings organic granola was chosen. We got to try this on tap at our DFH beer night at Your Pie and again in a bottle, I have to say I preferred the bottle version. It has a nice sweet & malt forward base I didn’t pick up on with the draft pour. Add a good punch of hops to balance and you have a very tasty beer. The 9% ABV is not exactly hidden, but it works well enough for me.
