Dogfish Head Brewdolph's Holiday

Returning for the second year, albeit a little late. This year’s batch is stronger than last year’s and took a good bit longer to ferment, so we were unable to tap for the holidays. So in the post-holiday spirit, we renamed this one Brewdolph’s Holiday, now that he’s got a chance to sit back and relax. Based on the great Golden Ales of Belgium, this pale but complex elixir was made with Pilsner Malt and a good portion of Pear Juice to add a crisp fruity wine-like finish. The real twinkle in Brewdolph’s nose is contributed by a special blend of spices – Cardamom, Cinnamon, Bourbon Vanilla Bean, and dried Habanero, which really puts Brewdolph in a holiday mood with an extra spicy kick. Bold notes of yeast derived fruit and Pear upfront which gives way to spicy complexity with intense heat that hits you in the back of the throat, perfect for warming the belly on a cold December night. This is a great versatile beer for pairing with a variety of items from our menu. Every glass will come garnished with a glowing red Cherry to symbolize the nose of the little Reindeer that could.
