Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

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

4 12oz bottles. Pours a white head that disappears quite quickly, good full flavour. Solid IPA.

Not much aroma at all. nice golden honey in colour with nice whit lacing. Nice citrus hoppy flavour. Overall a nice refreshing beer, good sumer drink.

12oz bottle. Pours clear orange with average white head. Creamy mostly lasting foam. Aroma is not so exciting as in other good IPA: softy malty, mostly hoppy. Aniway, nothing so intense to make me benevolent towards this beer. The flavor is quite better but it misses some more bitterness and spiciness. Medium body and light carbonation. Really easy to drink but still missing temperament.

Bottle. Pours orange-gold with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, pine, malt. Flavor follows suit, with wonderful bitter hops that don’t overwhelm. Well-balanced, medium bodied, with a crisp, bitter finish. Great IPA.

Light honey brown body with a good sized nipple cap floating on top. Hoppy hop citrus aroma with pine and some nut malts are smooth but not that prominent, aroma is good but not making me drool. Taste seems light for an American IPA put still tasty. Very malty and thick. Lots of great caramel malts, good hop mostly of the pine variety but no spice or real bitterness. The alcohol seems to prominent for just IPA. Good beer highly drinkable but there a far better IPA’s out there this was to light tasting and not as hoppy or as bitter as I was expecting.

Well. What the hell. I’ve sure had some inconsistencies with this brewery lately and tonight is not exception ... or is it? Maybe I’m tasting what I’m supposed to taste. Either way, I am not amused.
Poured out an orangy brew with a very small and disappointing sized head - pretty much only enough to stick to the rim. The aroma is very unispiring - this is barely an IPA imo. Sweet malts -caramel mostly, the usual hops of citrus, grapefruit, pines, orange, etc. I htink it’s the malt bill thata fails for me here - no connection between the malts and hops. Not appealing one bit. The taste is not a good thing at all - sure, there are citrus stuff but it’s not upfront at all. Caramel malts are funny, hard pine and medicinal (faint), more malts now but it’s very hard to explain why I dislike this so much. Odd roast to the malts might be what is so perplexing here. Ok bitterness when warmer. I will search out another bottle just in case I got hosed here. Not impressed one bit. Not really a 2.3 beer but most definelty a 2.3 IPA.

Bottle dispensed, this nectar is my "go-to brew", a daily vice that permits me joyous relief from the drudgery of life. Pine, citrus--these smells, already well-described by my rating predecessors here waft to my overly large nostrils. Taste matches the heady aroma, and washes away any doubt of this beer’s intrinsic value, and its impeccable reputation. For those poor souls who cannot obtain this gem, I weep for thee.

POurs orange. Nose is loads of citrus and sweet malts. Flavor is big citrus hops, bitter hop bite, caramel malt and some pine. I really like this IPA.
