Dogfish Head Shelter Pale Ale

February 2nd, 2010
shelter-pale-ale Dogfish Head produces so many wildly crazy brews these days.  But it all started with Shelter Pale Ale.

A very approachable beer with good malt (caramel notes and biscuit)and just enough hops to balance it; 5% ABV and 30IBUs, caramel color and a nutty flavor.   Columbus and Willamette hops provide some citrus notes.

Current Beeradvocate rating: B-

My take: many people put this beer down because most of the DFH beers represent something much bigger.    This beer is very quaffable and close to a session beer if the alcohol was a little bit lower.   Easily, one of the easiest drinking beers around.
