Its with great pride and an even greater sense of accomplishment that Dog on the Road Brewing proudly present our very first beer, Ruff.
Rather than have to warn friends and family each time we gave them a beer, we thought it would be best to just come out and admit up front that we, like many homebrewers before us, had probably just brewed up 20 litres of shit beer! With that in mind, and as a tip of the cap to Kwak, the name Ruff was born
The beer itself is very tasty, but a little on the light side when it comes to alcohol levels. This was probably a combination of the equipment we used as well as the many mistakes we made on the first brew. However, with all that in mind, its a flavoursome little beer!
Beer Details:
| Original Gravity | 1.048 |
| Specific Gravity | 1.020 |
| ABV | 3.6% |
Tasting Notes:
Strong Belgian Ale it ‘aint… from an ABV standpoint at least. While the beer doesn’t pack the 8% punch that we were going for, it does deliver on taste. The beer is quite sweet, and has a very distinctive caramel taste. In a triangle test with Kwak, the difference is obvious. Ruff lacks the spicy finish and crisp aftertaste of Kwak. However, as a stand alone beer, its not half bad
