On tap at MacNiven’s. Have you heard the saying that less is more? It is proven in this case. Less hops, less malt, less body, less bitterness, less of just about everything than its bigger brother 90 minute. BUT, somehow much more. Aroma is godly. Body is light and very smoothly drinkable. Taste is perfectly balanced. Very very classy brew.

Aug 20, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a clear, amber body topped by a medium, off-white head which mostly diminished to a light dusting of foam. Light effervescence played around in the glass for some time. Nice hops characteristic with some grapefruit notes to the nose. This is a medium bodied, moderately carbonated IPA with a medium mouthfeel punctuated by the typical hops bitterness. Overall profile is well balanced, favoring the dry, bitter hops, rounded out by slight malting. Hops aftertaste is minimal, favoring instead to show up in the oft-welcomed "hopurps." This is a fine, easy drinking IPA well worth your time and money.

Aug 20, 2008 Generous head, golden color with great lacing. Pale malt underneath the citrsuy hops aromas. Taste is less intense than the 90 Minute, yet still generously hoppy with a well-balanced malt offset. In the background are lemon and orange, and slight pine and pepper flavors. Lots of carbonation, crisp with a dry aftertaste that is dominated by the hops. Dogfish is great - wish they were on the West Coast.

Aug 17, 2008 The least continously hopped of Dogfish’s one-of-a-kind IPA’s (60,90,120), this beer is still crisp and well balanced, and has a long, drying, yet fresh and fruity finish. It makes an excellent session beer, being lively, herbal and full bodied. The intense grassy and floral hops carry notes of tropical citrus fruit and papaya, and in the aroma bring unique resiny
notes of lemon-pepper and chives. Excellently crafted, as all of Dogfish Head’s beers are, and one that I enjoy before a big summer dinner to work up a raging appetite.

Aug 15, 2008 12 oz bottle from premier gourmet in buffalo. pours light orange/golden with a persitant of white head. aromas of grapefruit and pale malt undertones. flavours are a big grapefruit hop punch held in check by the malt backbone. not overly bitter. best IPA i ever had for session purposes.
