One need not have consumed many bottles of Dogfish Head Punkin Ale to wonder: what exactly is a dogfish? Our Coastie friends inform us that the rather mean-looking fish is a small species of shark inhabiting the Western Atlantic Ocean.
With an alcohol content of seven percent, this ale lives up to its vicious imagery. The brew is created with wholesome holiday ingredients, as the bottle proudly declares.
Unfortunately, pumpkin is the only flavor readily apparent. While tasty, this is one ale that fails to distance itself from the pack of pumpkin-flavored beers making their annual appearance.
