Everything about it is huge. It is like what Napa Valley is like for Cabs. Big and bold.
Smell - all you can smell is yummy hops.
Appearance - deep copper.
Taste - hops, fruit, and caramel.
The hops in this beer are a good mix of citrus, floral, and pine.
The draft was just much smoother and flavorful (if you can imagine achieving that seemingly contradictory balance) than out of the bottle.

I'll have to try the DF90 to see what you mean by "overpowering spicy hops". The Dogfish Head IPA was a bit too much on the hops or did not have the correct hops for my likeing. I don't care for a brew that finishes too bitter. I don't mind a good bite from hops I just don't want that bitterness to be the last thing I taste. I prefer a good stout, english pale ale, but I'm trying to branch out and try some other flavors. Believe me it's not an easy thing in S'pot/Bossier.

Sorry Guiss, it was Flying Dog IPA that I was talking about.
If you remind me before the MS game, I will try to bring some DH90 with me for the tailgate.

DH90 is a great beer. It sucks that we cant get it here. Russian River is beginning to bottle Pliny the Elder, which is an awesome beer (#9 overall at beeradvocate.com), but I doubt that'll make it to Louisiana either.
I'm very happy that somehow a local distributor got a hold of Troegs, though. Troegs is a great brewery in PA, which claims it only sends its beers within 5 hours of the brewery. So I dont know how we have it down here. But the Dreamweaver Wheat is a spicy, hoppy wheat- much better than Blue Moon or Abita Wheat. And their Hopback Amber is a super hoppy Amber... Also, their Nugget Nectar is pretty close to the DH90.
As much as I wish we had Dogfish Head here, I'm glad we at least have Troegs. (Which you can get at either Martin Wine Cellar, or Stein's Deli... maybe Acquistapces in Covington too).
Oh, also, I've been seeing a LOT of the Bear Republic bombers. Pick some up, they are great. I was at their brewpub, and I can say their beers are delicious. The stout is like a smoky stout, instead of the chocolate or coffee stouts that make up the majority.

Found and tried the Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron in Atlanta! Color is between black and caramel brown. You definitely can taste the wood from the fermentation vessels. Comeon guys, join the newly created beer club social group!
