Colour of honey with a good pale head that leaves a slight lacing. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, honey. Slick and slightly  sticky mouthfeel, very well balanced on the palate, sweet with a balanced citrus bitterness that slowly swirls around the palate - long finish with several layers of hop character but never overwhelming. Taste is orange marmalade, pomelo, honey, papaya. I’m normally not a fan of IPAs but this was awesome.

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA has a medium, off-white head, an unclear, brilliant, amber-orange appearance, with thin, white lacing, and an enormous amount of bubbles all about. The aroma is very juicy up front (think of mango), with an underlying toasted barley malt note. Taste is of sweet, juicy hops, hop oil, some bitterness, and toasted barley malt. Mouthfeel is medium and a bit oily, and Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA finishes semi-dry, sweet, mildly alcohilic, and surprisingly easy drinking. Overall, this beer was not as bitter, rich, extreme, and hoppy as the hype led me to believe. That aside, I still think it is a wonderful beer to be able to sample. Overall, I rate this as outstanding. RJT

12oz bottle dated 4/1/13 poured into a snifter. Pours a clear, dark orange with a full two fingers of thick off-white head. Aroma of resins and citrus. Taste is medium bitter and light sweet. Boozy with citrus and caramel. Full nodied with a thick yet slick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, great. I could drink this everyday.

Really good DIPA, but I'm not as impressed with it as I was years ago(before trying a lot more DIPAs). More malty and less hoppy then I remembered. Still a really good beer though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Amazing beer, and a great IPA. Bought this after some debate to celebrate graduation, and couldn’t be happier with the result. Smooth, strong yet easy to drink with a fantastic taste.

Brilliant, relatively smooth with a little hoppy bite, complex but no overpowering elements...

Good looking amber brew with a off white thick head. Smells of citrus and a hint of booze. Taste is about the same with some malt characteristics popping in every once in a while. It is a good imperial IPA but not sure if I would say the best for the price tag it has. Due to there are IPA’s out there just as good if not better with better prices on them I think this was my first and last 90 Minute Imperial IPA..

A beer that definitely live up to the hype. A top 10 I P A. A little on the pricey side, but well worth. Superb!

Bottle. Pours a beautiful copper. Off-white head with some staying. Nose is light with malt and alcohol predominating. Taste is the perfect combination of malt, moderate bitterness and light hops. This is a great IPA.
