Dog on a skateboard Review

When I first tried Dog on a Skateboard, I was excited by the name, can art and my love for dogs, but the beer left me feeling underwhelmed. In the glass, it had a light amber color and a thick, frothy head, suggesting some promise. However, the moment I took a sip, I noticed one of the thinnest bodies I’ve ever encountered in a beer. The bitterness had an odd twang that detracted from any potential enjoyment, making it hard to appreciate the hoppy elements touted by the brewery.

Twice Brewed Brewing Co. has been crafting beers since 2017 at their eco-friendly brewery located near Hadrian’s Wall. Their mission is to create a wide range of ales and lagers that cater to different tastes, which is commendable. Unfortunately, Dog on a Skateboard doesn’t quite hit the mark. While it’s marketed as a hazy IPA, the lack of depth and character makes it feel more like a missed opportunity than an innovative offering.

The brewery promotes this beer as being brewed with cutting-edge hop products to deliver big bright flavors with minimal bitterness. However, I found the bitterness to be jarring rather than refreshing, leaving a lingering aftertaste that was less than pleasant. I was hoping for a more vibrant and flavorful experience, especially given the tropical and stone fruit notes mentioned by the producers.

Alcohpol

Overall, Dog on a Skateboard is a vegan-friendly, low-alcohol beer that might appeal to those who prioritize low calories over flavor. While Twice Brewed aims to create something special, this particular offering feels like it needs more development. It’s a shame, as I really wanted to enjoy this beer, but the reality is that I was left disappointed.
