Dogfish Head is another brewery that gives its various locations the ability to experiment with smaller batches in its more community focused taprooms. One such project that has been repeated over the years is their Outdoor Shower. The summer tradition was revived again in Rehoboth Beach, DE.
Outdoor Shower is an American wheat ale with Amarillo and Cascade hops, pineapple, and green tea.
While the American wheat ale does make a great foundation for allowing flavors to come through, this beer has a lot going on with 2 hops, tea, and pineapple. The tea character is most noticeable in the slightly drying finish, which does balance well with the hops and the delicate sweetness created by the wheat and pineapple.
