Dogfish Head – A First Look at Hellbound On My Ale
Dogfish Head Just released info on their second beer in collaboration with Sony Legacy (A music dvision) called Hellbound On My Ale.
Here is the info, this beer should be dropping in May according to this info page. http://bit.ly/dNj4ri
“2011 marks the 100th birthday of Mississippi Delta bluesman Robert Johnson who, according to legend, sold his soul down at the crossroads in a midnight bargain and changed music forever. Working again with our friends at Sony Legacy (yup, the same folks we did our Miles Davis-inspired Bitches Brew with), Dogfish Head pays tribute to this blues legend by gettin the hellhounds off his trail and into this finely-crafted ale.
Hellhound is a super-hoppy ale that hits 100 IBUs in the brewhouse, 10.0 ABV, 10.0 SRM in color, and dry-hopped with 100% centennial hops at a rate of 100 kilos per 100 barrel brew-length. Can you tell we at Dogfish are stoked for this mighty musical centennial? To accentuate and magnify the citrusy notes of the centennial hops (and as a shout out to Robert Johnsons mentor Blind Lemon Jefferson) we add dried lemon peel and flesh to the whirlpool.”

Absoultley perfect, this is a beer you drink outside with a fire and a nice cigar on a warm spring night.
