Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Milton, Delaware USA

Aroma is actually sort of light. Lemon and pepper. The flavour has so much more going on. Lots of sweetness. Lots of bitterness. Iced tea, barbecue sauce, grapes. Reminiscent of fine wine. Medium to heavy body, finishes dry.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is a clear gold color, a light yellow copper held to the light with a slight white head with nice lacing. The smell is of hops, sweet hops with some piney flavor. The taste is subtle hops, not slamming into the taste buds but gently letting your mouth and tongue get used to the hoppyness. Again there is a hint of pine and some grains feel as well. The mouth feel is the best I have had in an Imperial IPA. Just the right balance lets this beer let you enjoy this beer without biting to hard back. Not heavy on the pallet and is nice and smooth. Some the thickest lacing I have seem on an IPA, Nice!

This has to be one of the best beers I have ever experienced. Smooth and crisp. The taste is superb!

the color is that of a white zinfandel wine and the head was a bubbly white head that faded rather quickly. the aroma is on par with a super flavor coming in behind it. it is not overpowering and a new beer drinker could probally enjoy this one. bubbles rise continuing in a glass. the abv is perfect for this style of beer. good brew for this style and would almost agree as being one of the greatest ipa’s but we all know there is one better, but i really enjoyed this one. good job dogfish!

Appearance - pours a nice translucent gold with a thick head that disappears quickly. Lacing is there, and heavy. Smell - not as hop infested as I had expected, maybe not even as much as it’s little brother, the 60 minute. Citrus, sweet smell. Taste/Mouthfeel - not nearly as scary as I had feared. Quite tasty actually with the hops of course up front. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. This hides it’s relatively high alcohol content pretty well so I recommend you be careful here.

chocolate and roasted malt nose, clear dark orange in appearance. Bit too chocolatey for me but it hangs around the palate for a good long time and warms as it goes down.

Flavorful mix of hops and malt, excellent nose and a beautiful outer shell. 90 minute a local rider.

beautiful golden amber somewhat hazy colour that belies it’s potency.......aroma is somewhat subdued but there are hints of hops and large volumes of malt.......overall a nicely balanced brew......the brewmasters have done a wonderful job of creating a very creamy mouthfeel with a sweet, nutty, and malty finish.......actually had this while eating fritos ( odd but it works!)
