Dogfish Head Squall IPA Review

Author // Devon

On a beer run to pick up some beer to have with some BBQ we saw this new beer from Dogfish Head. While the name may imply a totally new beer the actual reality is this is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned version of their 90 Minute IPA. Dogfish Head beers tend to have fairly strong yeast notes to begin with so we weren't sure how this would be. The short answer it's good. It doesn't blow our minds but it's worth a try. The Squall IPA feels a bit hotter than regular 90 min IPA, this may be a product of the bottle conditioning. There is a predictable sweetness that comes with many Dogfish beers but it's not overwhelmingly sweet. A nice balance of hop flavors helps round of the overall flavor of the beer.  We're not sure we'd buy this again over regular 90 Minute but it's worth buying a bottle to give it a go.
