Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

While this is indeed a good beer, I feel the 60 Minute is a bit over rated, and I tend to rate higher than most members. I buy and enjoy this beer, but generally prefer the beers from Bells Brewery.

Poured from bottle. Golden very clear with almost no head disappearing immidiately. Lots of hops in the aroma. Not as bitter as I expected and comlex hop aroma almost reminiscent of liquorice and wild west coast (of SA aka fynbos) flowers. Long hoppy finish. A remarkable beer.

From a bottle. Nice orange-yellow with slow rising low carbonation. Generous white frothy head produces decent lacing. The aroma is very spicey, herby, grassy. there’s loads of quality hops in here. The flavour continues to deliver with more spices and herbs, sweet lemon citrus, with a suprising grapefruity backend that mixed extremely well with the bitterness. There are touches of caramel and honey in there. It’s complex! Very smooth palate, with slight fizz beside the bitter hops, biting at your tongue and cheeks.

amber copper pour with a small white head. awsome hop aroma and taste. not over hopped just to be hoppy. slight bitter finish. great IPA

Poured from bottle into Pint Glass. Pours a nice golden amber with a great one inch white frothy head that dissipates into a fine layer atop the glass. As you drink this it leaves a nice lacing along the glass. Not much of an aroma on this but picked up some slight floral hints and a bit of caramel. Taste is very nice, citrusy with caramel flavors with some lingering light bitterness. This is a medium-bodied beer with a fresh crispness. Very nice beer.

good taste if your into hoppy beers. Good win a rasta cigar.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

strong hop nose. flavours of citrus and hop combine for a pleasant hop experience. expected more hop profile, but quite drinkable overall.

“Off-centered ales for off-centered people.”

Make no doubt about the Dogfish Head creed; they mean it. As a result, Sam Calagione and Dogfish have pushed the brewing boundary from day one and the Extreme Train hasn’t stopped chugging since. Love them or hate them, there is no doubt that what Dogfish does, very few have ever tried and/or succeeded at.

Sparkling orange with burnt amber and copper highlights, her beauty is a beacon of light shining through the darkness of boring, bland beers. A crowning jewel of a head tops her livery in cottony white while trails of lace decorate her person. Up to this point, I have only savored their 90 Minute IPA so I was unsure what to expect of her nose. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised. Breathing deep her floral nose are lavender and fresh spring pollen tinged with honey. Rounding out her full yet delicate nose are orange juice, pulp, sweet pink grapefruit, lemon, and wet, freshly cut summer grass. Enveloped in her wonderful aromas, I delve into the awaiting brew which is clean, crisp, and vivifying. Lemon and grass tingle on top of my tongue while soft honey infused with flowers and herbs coats my cheeks and tongue. Further in, faint tropical notes of melon and kiwi sweeten the party while a delicious array of sweet summer grass, lemon, lavender, pollen, and honey continue their chorus of perfect quaffabiility. As I quickly near the end of my glass, some crunchy bread crust rounds out the picture, and as the last drop touches my lips, I go to my fridge and grab another.

Yes, Kristyn, Dogfish Head really does make a session beer. I have had a good majority of their beers and many a session IPA over the last few years; hands down, their 60 Minute IPA is one of the best and easily one of my favorite. For the hops novice, it also makes an excellent introduction to said beer style.
