Initially I was a little put off by the name--I think creativity is a large part of brewing good beer--but I was very impressed upon pour. It had a clear, deep amber color with a very thick, creamy, off-white head that lasted for a long time. The hops gave the beer a distinctly citrus aroma, very reminiscent of grapefruit.

IPA has a nice, bitter aftertaste (good in my opinion), but it was lacking any sort of a foretaste. A relatively light-tasting beer, interesting considering its alcohol content, was complemented by a mild malt. Altogether, the beer finished very quickly, good if you intend to drink a lot of it, but not for the price (I expect a little more body out of a high hop, high alcohol brew). I was happy with the lack of an alcohol burn.

If you are looking for something to drink with bold-flavored food, this is not it. But if your looking for something to sip on with a light snack or seafood (we had crab) this is for you.

I'm Chris, I'm a biochemist, I have terrible spelling and an unrelenting passion for beer. This is the first post and the first beer of hundreds I have decided to review, hopefully turning my passion into an unbiased (kinda) resource for other beer-enthusiasts. Better pictures to come.

I have never heard of Drake's Brewing before, let alone Denogginizer - I was pleasantly surprised. The name? At 9.75%, fitting. 

On pour, it had a strong, good quality head. Initially, this brew was a bit intense, but after a while in the glass it became a nice bright IPA with a strong kick. A mild malty flavor tries its best to balance the overpowering hoppy character of the beer (personally, I love bitter beers). If you are looking for something easy to drink and cheap stay well away from this one. But if you like a good kick in the throat and you are looking for something for a special occasion, this is a drink for you. 

Overall Rating: B+

Sorry about the crummy picture, better to come.
