2022--Beer #2: Walking Run (Dogfish Head Craft Brewery)

12/14/2022

Thank you to Heather for providing today's beer, Walking Run! Walking Run (5.6% ABV) is a New England Style Pale Ale brewed with English malt, wheat malt, and flaked oats paired with citrus and tropical hops. It's a great beer for an active lifestyle, whether it be walking or running. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery opened up in Milton, Delaware back in 1995. As of 2019 Dogfish Head Craft Brewery teamed up with the new owners, the Boston Beer Company.

Mandon is back for day 2! At first glance the can art is dope. It’s what I picture Heather looking like as she blazes a trail through Ridgeview. For myself (Brandon) this one just doesn’t do it for me. Seems like a citrus lite beer but to be fair I’m not a huge fan of pale ales. Madison, however, did enjoy it. Not one she’d buy for the house but would order at a brewery or maybe a sunny kayaking trip. The light citrusy taste would pair well with an outdoorsy summers day. Composite score 2.75/5.

Good festive evening to all! Today, we greatly anticipated coming home to partake in this joyous beer exchange after a long day at work. Heidi says the can art "is cute" and makes her smile! Keith wonders if the runner is wearing any pants?? Beer is very pleasant for a lower ABV, easy drinker with a fresh, clean finish. Nothing remarkable about the flavor except for a mild citrus ending but could definitely polish off a few of these on a hot summer day, especially while kayaking. We might not RUN for another one but we would WALK for another one! Both agree it's a very pleasant pale ale. We rate this beer a 3 out of 5. Cheers!

I loved the can! Makes me laugh! My knee says don’t run but I can walk fast, however if I did this my family would take a picture and make a mean meme haha! The beer was a nice light IPA that says summer to me. Bring it to the pool!! I liked it and rate it a 4. Cheers all!

Hello once again everybody! Night #2 calls for some exercise with Walking Run from Dogfish Head. Let’s get right to it with the rating of 3.0 out of 5 for me on this one. Walking Run seems like the type of beer that I’d enjoy the more I drink of it. The real showstopper of this beer is the can artwork. The flexed arms, stiff knee, and angle of the hips…I can just visualize the skeleton man walk-running perfectly. For the beer itself, I initially get light crisp malty taste followed by a weak hoppy flavor. It left a film on my teeth after swallowing that I’d describe as chewy feeling almost. I personally wouldn’t order this beer at a dinner or bar but I would buy a 12-pack/case for a party or day of drinking. Overall, a beer I’m glad I got to experience! 🍻🍻

Good tidings all! After a long night of running around and finishing my outdoor lights, this beer was refreshing. I taste the maltiness, but fail to get much citrus at all as provided in the description by Dogfish. The beautiful orange hue tricked me into thinking that I would get more tropical notes. I rate this a 3 out of 5. Pale ales aren't usually my favorite, but I do agree that this is definitely a relax around a pool/throw corn hole type of beer. Cheers! 🍻🎄🎅

Christmas greetings for day2! I like our tongue tickler today, I do get the citrus notes, this is one I could drink a lot off, most low octanes go weak and frail to me, not this one. A flavorful hoppy note hits as the mouthful finishes, I like that. Summer and Cornhole, and pool were aforementioned in others notes and I can agree to that…now onto the can art of the someone taking mask wearing to a whole new level! A chubby skeleton scorching a trail, as he blazes a path back to Dogfish for a few more of this good one! 4.0/5…cheers too all!

Thankful today as my blood work came back with no issues, good I had the foresight to schedule annual physical before the Brewstravaganza began! Margie is reviewing the can art – text says Maine style Pale Ale, not Northeast. I don’t know what to make of that. Fire! Is it a man or a woman? Running towards hell because he / she was bad? This beer is about as unfiltered as Margie’s review. We’re drinking that shit (floaties) she says. More malt than hop, goes down nice. I would drink that; I am drinking that. I like that. Could be a nice kayaking beer. MarRon rates 4.0 out of 5. Cheers!

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Totally crushable and refreshing; would be a great companion on a hot summer day. A very balanced beer, not overly hazy or bitter. It’s a 4 out of 5 for me!😊

Hello all better late than never…this beer was a pleasant refreshment after doing some last minute shopping? 😅 Low abv but filled with pretty good citrus flavor! Definitely a beer I could consume for a long day of drinking. Only critique was the large amount of sediment collecting at the bottom making it a grainy last sip. 3 out of 5!
