Dogfish Head Liquid Truth Serum India Pale Ale.

Dogfish Head Liquid Truth Serum India Pale Ale. 7% Alc. by Vol.  65 IBU. "An IPA brewed with ALL the hops! 1: whole leaf, 2: liquefied, 3: pelletized , 4: powdered." Dogfish Head Brewery, Milton, Delaware.

Hazy, flashy yellow coloring, large and lasting ivory head.

In the nose: soft and flowery hop presence, splashes of citrus and pen. Lemon and grapefruit.

In the mouth: Big, bitter hop bite beats the drum up front. Just a little bit juicy, ending nice and dry. Tasty stuff, delightfully bitter, a good o' drinking' IPA. Medium bodied. Highly likable, for hopheads like me.

All the hops at play in this one. Well, all the types. I can't see where they tell us which ones. I'm not worried about that, doesn't matter, they all come together for a crisp, brisk, zesty package. Good IPA and I'm drinking it!

You can handle the truth!

MYTH: IBUs (hop bitterness) can only be achieved in the boil. TRUTH: Uh-uh!

The truth is, Dogfish Head has been doing innovative things in the world of hopping since we opened in the mid-90s. From our continual hopping method found in our 60 Minute, 90 Minute and 120 Minute IPAs to our latest innovation of post-boil hop additions found in our Liquid Truth Serum!

Our unique process involving pelletized, powdered, leaf and liquefied hops makes for a blissfully inefficient IPA that's truthfully hoppy without being deceptively bitter. You'll find the perfect match of citrusy and tropical notes, making for a zesty finish ... honest.
