Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Milton, Delaware USA

12oz bottle. Clear, golden color with quick fading white head. Pronounced hop aroma and flavor. This is a quality IPA but not very complex.

Crystal clear deep orange pour with a foamy, disappearing head. The aroma is sharp hops, grassy and floral. The taste is all hops off the bat, with a solid malt backbone that keeps the palate fresh. I like this IPA, almost as much as I like the 90 minute. But the 120 minute is in a league of its own.

(10/21/08) Draught at Earth Bread + Brewery in Philadelphia. Clear deep golden color with a white head. Aroma of hops, some flower, citric notes and a bit of caramel malt. Sweetish malty flavor with a bit of caramel and a bit of cookies continues bitter and hoppy with some grapefruit notes. Medium-bodied. A nice IPA.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aromas of pine, cutrus, and hops. Flavors are the same, obviously heavy on the hops with a minimal malt backbone.

Pours a golden straw color with a substantial foamy head. Smell is of citrusy hops with mild floral notes as well. The taste is initially of citrus, specifically oranges and grapefruit. Some malts kick in after rolling it around and provide some sweetness to balance the hops. The finish is a very smooth blend of all of these elements. This is a very smooth brew even with the large amount of hops; very balanced. I could have several of these and not get tired of it. Very well done. A rather different IPA and I would have to say one of my favorites. Reviewed on: 06-08-2007

Pours a clear golden color with a rapidly diminishing head which is all but gone before I get the glass within sniffing distance. Gentle aromas of citrus and piney hops. Hops right up front on the palette lead into a slightly sweet finish with more hops and a long lasting bitter finish. While not nearly as complex as their 90 minute, this does provide an easy drinking alternative, though at 6%, maybe not the session beer they claim it to be, but it’s still quite quaffable.

Over hyped IPA . Good copper color a crisp smooth hop balance. Just noe a WOW for me.

Pours coppery brown with a thick creamy head. Smells citrusy and piney with some malty sweetness present as well. Tastes smooth and bitter with a load of piney hops, some sweet grainy malts. Very drinkable, full flavored, and balanced. This is a beer I drink whenever I see it.
