Pours a deep honey amber with a 1/2 finger soapy white head. Decent lacing. Smells of strong floral hops and sweet malt. Dry hopping is pretty obvious here. Flavor is hops up front (duh) with a pleasant malty sweetness. This is more balanced than I had expected. Medium mouthfeel that coats the tongue and finishes sweet with a teeny bitter kick. The high abv% is expertly hidden here. This would be the perfect accompaniment for a nice bloody steak. Awesome.

This beer was surprisingly sweet. It reminded me very much of Dogfish’s Raison D’etre. When I tried it beer for the first time I found myself savoring it so much that it went from ice cold out of the liquor store cooler to room temperature in my hand. Where that can be a killer with some beers this one took on a whole new interesting flavor, resembling the drinking of a really nice liquor neat. If one does not normally like the intense bitterness that IPAs offer, this is definitely worth a try. Not your common IPA by any means, but definitely now one of my favorites.

2006 Bottle - Pours a vibrant orange with a medium, lasting off-white head...aroma is big ass bourbon and candy malt, rich pit fruit...flavour is similar but the hops have disappeared over time, replaces with a sweet, dried fruit pungency...I love this beer fresh, it’s a rich hop/malt bomb...but with almost 3 years in the bottle, it has evolved into something more resembling a cloying American Strong...delicious...

Again I have to say I am not an IPA fan. That being said 90 min has good fruit forward flavor with aromas of malted hops. A little orange or lemon on the finish.

Fantastic beer. Pours a bold, dark golden yellow with a light cream head. Dry, citrusy aroma. Taste is slightly bitter, dry, with strong citrus accents, especially grapefruits and Meyer lemons. Finish is powerful but clean. As double IPA’s go, Dogfish Head 90 Minute is near the top. Although I personally prefer Stoudt’s double IPA, 90 Minute is an excellent double.

An amazing brew, and my personal favorite. I only drink this with a good meal, typically a nice steak or burger. An excellent citrus flavor and smooth finish.

Medium amber with a small white head that fizzes out rather quickly. Excellent hop aroma with a reduced malty taste thanks to the dry hopping. Nice balance with a lingering alcohol finish. An excellent IPA that ranks near the top.

"perhaps the best I.P.A. in America." I agree. Despite it being the only one I’ve tried. Excellent beer I would love to have again when I return to the States because unfortunately though, beer selection in Canada is atrocious.
