Dogfish Head Squall IPA

Appearance:Poured a hazy orange color with little head in a big brandy snifter. The head was light tan that didn't last very long.
Aroma: Dominant smell was orange. I also got hints of pine and perfume like aroma.
Taste: Mild bitterness with a grapefruit bite in the front and middle. It finished off with a malty caramel taste. There was a lot of other stuff going on in this taste that I couldn't pinpoint.
Overall: 90/100

For those who have tried this, Did you like it?

I wasn't impressed with it. Had it about a year ago last January while I was out in Florida. Hop presence was pretty low. Possibly got a bottle that had been sitting for a while. Picked it up at a bit warehouse type store in the Ft. Meyers area although they did have a big craft brew selection.

I liked it, that was breakfast on Big Brew day(and led to my downward spiral that day). It was malty, not crazy hoppy, like DFH's beers tend to be.
