The last on air tasting. Bittersweet...no not the beer...the event. 

Smell-Citrusy. Grapefruit perhaps?

Taste-That same smell is the first thing that hits your lips. From there, the piney hops pop then fade into a malty finish. It's a nice transition.

Mouthfeel-Lighter than you'd expect from an IPA...also smoother. Goes down real easily.

Drinkability-I don't think I enjoyed the first offering I had from Laughing Dog but this is definitely something I could get get into. Lots of hop taste without being overwhelming and I enjoyed the finish.

Tasting Notes:
(Formerly Tail Wagger Black IPA). A Big Bold Hoppy IPA that finishes with a dark twist. True to its IPA roots Dogzilla has a massive hop presence that is Piney and Citrusy. A malty backbone, along with the dark malt gives it a bit of a roasty finish. 6.9% ABV.

Food Pairing:
Thick and solid foods like shepards pie or chicken and dumplings.
