Beer Review 10: Dogfish Head Pangaea


Today's beer review is another great achievement by the folks at Dogfish Head. Today I had the Pangaea, and I must say this beer made my evening. I cracked into this beer this evening and from the first sip I was hooked! Pangaea explodes in you mouth tantalizing your taste buds, leaving you wanting to savor every sip you take. 
Pangaea, for those who don't know or didn't pay attention in geography class, Pangaea was the name of given to all the continents before they broke apart to form what we now know as the 7 continents. Other things you need to know about this fine brew is that the people at Dogfish use one ingredient from each continent to make this beer, and if you want to know what they are you can visit their site. Furthermore, Pangaea is bottled at 7 % abv and its packaged in a 750 ml bottle. This beer is a seasonal beer for dogfish so its not available year round so keep your eye out for this brew. Moreover, this beer is worth the price tag of $9.99, so don't be afraid to spend your money on this beer, you will be rewarded. Also, make sure to enjoy this beer from a snifter glass to enhance all the flavor this beer has to offer. Pangaea makes a great year round beer and it pairs well with many meals.

Color: Golden honey with an amber hue at the core. It forms a thin white head thats disapates quickly and has minimal lacing.

Nose: Sweet and crisp. Ginger hits your nose at the forefront along with subtle honey notes. In the background you get an array of spices.

Palate: Medium body beer with lots of complexity. Layered with plenty of flavor and exotic spice. A gental sweetness dances on your tounge,

Finish: Not to long not to short.... just right . The ginger reappears at the end along with some yeast.

Rating: 93 out 100
