American IPA 7 º 65 IBU

Dogfish Head

Liquid Truth Serum is a vibrant American IPA that showcases Dogfish Head’s innovative post-boil hopping techniques. Utilizing a unique blend of pelletized, powdered, leaf, and liquefied hops, this 7% ABV ale delivers a concentrated burst of sensory complexity. The profile is saturated with bright citrus zest and lush tropical fruit, underpinned by a lean, grainy malt backbone. On the palate, the experience is intensely hoppy, featuring vivid notes of grapefruit and pineapple that lead into a crisp, zesty finish. Despite its hop-forward nature, the bitterness remains smooth and integrated, resulting in a remarkably approachable and aromatic expression of the style.

Appearance. Color is a radiant medium gold with brilliant clarity. Pours with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Intense and multifaceted hop aroma leads with dominant notes of grapefruit, orange peel, and fresh mango. Secondary layers of pine resin and a subtle floral quality emerge as the beer warms. Low, clean, cracker-like maltiness provides a supportive base without overshadowing the hop profile.

Taste. The flavor profile is a parade of hop-derived character, highlighting citrusy tangerine and tropical pineapple. A clean, grainy malt sweetness briefly appears before being overtaken by a firm, yet smooth, hop bitterness. The finish is medium-dry and zesty, leaving a lingering impression of citrus oils and a clean, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture from the various hop formats. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 7% ABV without any harshness or astringency.
