Into the Petals & Nettles: Dogfish Head’s Botanical Ale for 2027

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton, Delaware is already looking ahead to 2027 with a new limited‑release ale that showcases the brewery’s signature creativity and culinary‑inspired brewing philosophy. Into the Petals & Nettles is a 5.5% botanical ale brewed with chamomile, jasmine, hyssop herb, and lemon balm leaf, an aromatic blend designed to evoke the feeling of wandering through a sunlit spring meadow.

This upcoming release continues Dogfish Head’s long tradition of crafting beers that highlight unique ingredients and expressive botanical character. Into the Petals & Nettles layers floral hops with honey biscuit malt, creating a soft, sunny foundation that supports the beer’s bouquet of herbs and flowers. Chamomile contributes gentle sweetness, jasmine adds perfumed depth, hyssop introduces subtle herbal complexity, and lemon balm leaf brightens the profile with a refreshing citrus‑tinged lift.

At 5.5% ABV, Into the Petals & Nettles is designed to be sessionable while still offering a rich sensory experience. Drinkers can expect a beer that balances delicate floral tones with crisp drinkability, making it ideal for warm‑weather sipping, outdoor gatherings, and moments when a lighter yet flavorful ale fits the mood.

The beer will be packaged in 12‑oz cans, featuring Dogfish Head’s vibrant botanical artwork, bright flowers, lush greenery, and a lively meadow motif that reflects the beer’s aromatic personality. As with many Dogfish Head releases, the label emphasizes real ingredients, adventurous brewing processes, and the brewery’s commitment to crafting beers with stories behind them.

Although full release details for 2027 are still forthcoming, Into the Petals & Nettles is already shaping up to be one of Dogfish Head’s most anticipated future offerings. With its botanical blend, floral hop character, and honey‑kissed malt profile, this ale promises to deliver a refreshing, aromatic, and distinctly Dogfish Head experience.
