Dry Dock

Kevin DeLange already owned a small homebrew store when in 2005 he decided to add a microbrewery with its own tiny taproom. Such was the success of this move that in 2009 the taproom and brewery relocated to a bigger space a few doors down on the same strip mall, its popularity immensely boosted through being named Small Company of the Year at the 2009 Great American Beer Festival. Some of Dry Dock’s individual beers were honoured at the same time, including this one which won a gold medal in the class. I caught up with it at the following year’s GABF, where it won a silver medal.

The beer is a lovely pale amber with a bubbly white head and a -tinged, biscuity, creamy and sweet aroma. There’s a delicious bite to the biscuit malt palate which also has spicy summer fruit, oranges and crisp nutty tones around the edges. A nicely dry and crisp malt finish has ripe notes, leaving a substantial but refreshing impression.
