Dogfish Head Craft Brewery Namaste
Aroma: “Herbal and perfumey, with strong, floral coriander and subtle lemongrass and citrus notes backed up by malt sweetness. A really unusual, kind of heavy aroma, but super complex. There’s some funky lemon and a touch of smokiness.”
Flavor: “Spicy, herbal, peppery-like flavors up front with moderate malt sweetness balanced by bitterness that lingers on the palate. Very light, smoky phenolics and mild tartness. Perfect body. Beer finishes dry after a nice, velvety front.”
Overall: “Overall, not a bad beer. Interesting, enjoyable, crisp, and refreshing. A unique take on a wit, with a robust profile of spices adding to the complexity. Nice hops and subtle herbal notes.”
