Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale - Dogfish Head

Forums:

Not sure if any of you beer lovers have seen this out in the wild yet but check it out.  I'm a little biased because I work for Boston Beer Co. (who owns DFH) but it's a tasty Pale Ale great for spring and summer right around the corner. Enjoy

1 for 3, 2 for 5?

"Juicy" ales are the worst.  Just a way to put a spin on nasty brewing.  Now if they had a Baltic porter. . .

Spammy posts are pretty bad too.

The packaging is stale as fuck

not sure about the beer

>> Spammy posts 

Now that is funny. There are, like, what: six and a half people left posting on this cover band tribute board? And you are complaining that someone is posting a beer like he's out hustling his unauthorized t shirts? 
 

But, please, let's have another non-spammy thread linking nugs.net subscription promos. Sure. 

My problem with "juicy" ales :

 They are more likely to include lactose because it's a non fermentable sugar.  They want to up the creamy and sweet to balance out the bitter and foulness.   
Now I'm not lactose intolerant that I know of , but these beers often trash my gut and turn a night of celebration into a next day of digestive torture.  
Since alcoholic drinks are exempt from listing ingredients in the US , lots of people are at risk.  I for one would love to see "includes lactose " listed with the other government warnings.  

>>>>The packaging is stale as fuck

Agreed.   Very D+C - what's Mayer's take? 

DFH did a GD-themed ale before IIRC.

^^ Trailhead, if beer is messing up your digestion, I bet "hazy" is your problem more than "juicy". a friend has a similar problem and it's yeast that sets him off. stick to filtered beer.
