Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

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

Gold in color with a medium white head. Aroma is ofgrapefruit, pine and nuts. Taste is moderately hoppy with some citrus and caramel.

Hopheads delight. Thick, white head with a dominant hop aroma. Hop flavor and bitterness dominates over malt. Reletively enjoyable.

Nice aroma, a great blend of graininess and hoppiness. Great appearance, looks like an IPA should. Excellent flavor. All around, a suberbly crafted beer.

Hazy golden blonde yellow in color with a small fluffy tight off-white head that fades to a skim always present and minimal spotty lace. Smell is quite nice, grassy all the way, lots of freshness, grains, field grains and leaves, fresh cut hay, a touch highly sweet in some citrusy lemon peels with a lightly toasted bread like backing. Nice smellin' IPA. Taste is smooth and calm with a creamy start, gains a solid medium feel and bold filling hoppyness thats easily bittered up front and a bit juicy and pulpy. Hops are nicely blended in with mild grasses and bitterness, comes across fresh and lightly dried with very small hints of pine, soft earth, and citrus. Finish has alot of complexity with some hop resin bitterness and toasty maltedness, some of which really sticks around long after each sip becoming slightly drying. Nothing to strong mind you, all very mild and easy, but flavorful and enjoyable. Very nice feel, a nice crescendo of creamy to pulpy, to nearly full, to a nice easy fine finish with lingering bitter tones and a small dryness late. A nice IPA, one to keep around for a quick hop fix.

Hoppy ohh hell yeah hoppy, nice orange haze colour, crisp refreshing. my summer beer, when i can get it

12oz bottle, dated 11-08-08. Number 700, and a bit of a let down honestly. Maybe this is just not at all my style, but I found this way mellow and off balance toward crystal malt flavor. Pours a clear dark gold with a large white head. Sweet malty aroma with some yeasty, floral, and sweet grapefruit hop touches. Sweet flavor with lots of crystal malt (a bit tea-ish), sweet fruit like orange and melon that seem to me coming from the hops, but the hops only really make themselves known with a mildly sharp bitterness way back in the finish, in an oddly disconnected fashion from the rest of the flavor sequencing. Light to medium bodied. I want to try this on tap now to make sure that this bottle wasn’t bad, but it is under two months old, so I’m a bit worried. (2.9) Rerate: 12oz bottle again. Still too sweet and fruity, without enough hops, but certainly not something that i would turn down in a pinch.

Nice copper color and small white head. Hoppy, spicy, grapefruit aroma followed by a powerful hop explosion in the mouth with a grapfruit tang in the finish. I have not had this in a long time and now realize that this is a damn good IPA. The 90 and 120 get all the credit (and deservedly so) but this beer is damn good.

Lots of hops (duh) in the nose and flavor. Nice copper color, velvety texture. Not quite as good as the 90 minute, but worth a try nonetheless.
