UPDATED: JUN 9, 2019 September 8, 2018 - at Beavertown Extravaganza 2018 - draught sample. Clear light amber, smallish off-white head. Simple aroma - roasted coffee beans, light balancing bitterness, not sweet, no alcohol. Taste follows, dry nutshell bitterness - again, simple and balanced. Light body, modest carbonation, medium dry roasty finish. Just okay.

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2019 Draft at the source. As Little Dog. Hazy yellow, white head. Grains, mildly fruity, bread, light malt. Refreshing.

UPDATED: JAN 13, 2019 Light amber pour with white head. Light malt and bread aroma. Malty taste, almost but not quite sweet. Unusual but pleasant from HOTD

12 oz at the brewpub. This is light amber with a light haze in the body and a firm head on top. Aromas of cedar, stone fruit, bread are here. The palate is big considering it's a mere 3.2%. Good carbonation level helps that out for sure. A little bit of candied sugar suggestions are in the flavor, but there's no way that was actually used. It finishes just medium dry with a pleasant hop bite. It's woody with notes of pear skin. Hair of the Dog has long been making beers that aren't true to their styles and excelling at it. This is another example.
