JaPe (69), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 9, 2008 Nice, IPA. Tastes of Hops, but not overly bitter. I almost taste lemons in it. I like that it is VERY drinkable , some ipas come off as harsh and bitter to my palette. But this is very welcoming. WolfsBlood84 (103), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Jun 7, 2008 12 oz. Bottle - Pours an opaque goldish/amber with sizeable white head and small lacing. Aroma is earthy, citrusy, foral hops with a small sweetly smelling maltiness in the background. Taste is same, well-balanced, and smooth. Upfront tingly citrusy hops that give way to a smooth maltiness and slight piney aftertaste. Good, easily obtainable, not too expensive IPA for nice summer thirst-quenching. nworb190 (3), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA does not count Jun 6, 2008 Bottle. Aroma: As expected, hoppy, slight citrus. Good aroma but not great. Appearance: Beatiful dark copper, light to medium head that holds. This has good (extra) carbonation (personal preference). Very nice looking beer. Palate: Clean and smooth - nothing lingering. Flavor: Balanced, smooth, hint of sweetness. A-/B+ for flavor. Overall: Excellent IPA. My first Dogfish experience was a winner. I’m off to try the 90 minute IPA. I like the Sweetwater IPA slightly better because: higher ABV, better aroma and $1 cheaper per 6PK. calgone (17), Athens, Georgia, USA Jun 5, 2008 Bottled. Nice copper color. Lovely hop aroma. Grassy smell. Not too bitter. Not too full bodied feeling. Tastes very floral, sweet and refreshing. Definitely a favorite. RONCOD (104), Uledi, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 5, 2008 Nice amber color with a foamy head. The aroma was kind of spicy and it had a very strong hops finish to it. ILoveNewBeer (113), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jun 5, 2008 I am a HUGE fan of the 120 min and I have tried the 60 (obviously) and the 90. Something about Dogfish and the way they do their beer is amazing.
Good frothy head. Copper in color. I can smell the hops. There was a smell that after I read the description I nailed it to Pine, I like it. killjoy966 (215), Washington, USA Jun 3, 2008 Pours a copper color that turns brass-y gold in the light. Smells spicy, like peppers or maybe even a salsa. Palette matches the aroma with a pleasantly prickly mouthfeel. Only thing that loses points for me is the citrusy finish. Tastes a bit tangy, almost sour when I let it linger in my mouth for a while. Overall a solid IPA. djavatar (3), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA does not count Jun 3, 2008 I’m quite the fan of IPA’s and this 60 minute IPA from Dogfish is no slouch. Quite hoppy but its not over kill leaving you with some other flavors.
