Hair of the Dog Ruth

3.6/5

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours hazy amber-orange color with a 2 finger white head with very good retention and nice lacing. Aromas of citrus, floral, caramel, and spicy yeast. Taste of citrus, and floral with some spiciness, then a nice clean bitterness on the finish that lingers for a bit, but has good balance. A slight amount of alcohol warming noticed after the finish. Has a fairly light body feel with medium carbonation. Overall I would say this is a solid pale ale, with good mouthfeel and taste.

I was amazingly lucky to find the Hair of the Dog beers in Indiana because they only distribute locally normally which is Oregon and surrounding states. This was pretty good, but I am really excited to try "Adam" and "Fred" soon, which are some of the highest rate beers on ratebeer.
