Dogfish Head Squall IPA

American craft beer number 216 is another beer purchased for another ridiculously hot evening in Florida. Squall IPA by Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales can be purchased back home but is a bit more pricey and I haven’t seen it fresh.

Squall is a touch better than an average IPA. It has the makings but just doesn’t pull everything together nicely for me. Hops are good but I don’t know if it is the combination or what. I just can’t put my finger on it. In spite of most beer drinkers liking this beer, I do not. Enjoy!
