Hellhound On My Ale

IPA - Imperial / Double

2011 marks the 100th birthday of Mississippi Delta bluesman Robert Johnson who, according to legend, sold his soul down at the crossroads in a midnight bargain and changed music forever. Working again with our friends at Sony Legacy (yup, the same folks we did our Miles Davis-inspired Bitches Brew with), Dogfish Head pays tribute to this blues legend by gettin the hellhounds off his trail and into this finely-crafted ale. Hellhound is a super-hoppy ale that hits 100 IBUs in the brewhouse, 10.0 ABV, 10.0 SRM in color, and dry-hopped with 100% centennial hops at a rate of 100 kilos per 100 barrel brew-length. Can you tell we at Dogfish are stoked for this mighty musical centennial? To accentuate and magnify the citrusy notes of the centennial hops (and as a shout out to Robert Johnsons mentor Blind Lemon Jefferson) we add dried lemon peel and flesh to the whirlpool.

I don’t always check in a beer I drank 10 years ago but when I do it is because it’s named after a cool Robert Johnson song.

4-24-14 20:05 @ lizard - Orange color with little white head. Citrus and grapefruit aroma. Very strong fruity taste, lemon and grapefruit. Hop bomb that hides the alcohol well. Enjoyed it a lot.
