Absolutely loved this beer. IPA is my favorite style, and this one is easily my favorite thus far. If you like IPA’s, you’ll love this one.

Hands down one of, if not the best IPA in America, Sam got it right on this one

What can I say I agree!! Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute I.I.PA., "perhaps the best I.P.A. in America." An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate. This beer is an excellent candidate for use with Randall The Enamel Animal! 90 ibu Tasting Notes: Brandied fruitcake, raisiney, citrusy. Food Pairing recommendations: Pork chops, beef, grilled fish, frites, focaccia, split pea soup, Stilton cheese & escargot. Glassware recommendation: Snifter Wine comparable: Sauvignon Blanc In case you care... the average 12 oz. serving has 294 calories.

This is my overall favorite beer. I always keep some 90 minute in my private stock at all times. The alcohol is hidden very nicely. DFH is pretty good at masking the alcohol. Starts out a bit hoppy and then finishes with a sweet aftertaste with a hint of apricot. Just the right amount of hops and malts. I highly reccomend this beer.

UPDATED: DEC 14, 2007 I was pleasantly surprised with this beer. More of a fan of stouts and doppelbocks but I can get this everywhere so I thought it time to give it a try. Poured much darker than I was expecting, a beautiful clear amber colof with a small head that faded into a 1/4 foamy ring. Pretty hoppy smell which I thought might turn me off to it but I was wrong. Very crisp, clean taste, moderately hoppy, with a nice malt base as well. Very piney and fresh smelling. I thoroughly enjoyed every drop of this beer and this is something that I will definitely be having again. This was a very good beer. RE-RATE This has become my favorite beer. It is easily accessible to me, tastes unbelievable every time I have it, and is worthy of this rating, in my opinion. Now, I have never had Dreadnaught and it may be better but as of now, it doesn’t get any better than this. I commend you, Dogfish Head, I commend you....

UPDATED: MAY 26, 2009 I’m a big lover of hoppy beers, and this one always comes to mind when I think of hops. Excellent when paired with a Don Pepin black label cigar.

This is the beer that got me hooked on micros. I’ve developed my palate of this brew. The complexities in the flavor of this beer become more evident every time I drink it and I am pretty sure other beers don’t taste the same to me anymore. I always sniff the beer for a couple minutes before taking my first sip as the aroma can only be described as "freshy goodness". I can often be found in a closet hiding with an empty bottle just sniffing away. sniffing, and drooling.

Phenomenal!!!!! that’s all i can say nothing bad at all! perfect beer!!!!!!!

This embodies what an American IPA is. Nice amber/reddish color, good nose, nice frothy white head. First sip begins with the malt followed shortly by the hops. This beer is so well-balanced that after 2 or 3 you still can determine what the brewewr was trying to do. If you have the ability to try this at the Rehoboth beach brewpub make sure it is on a Monday or Friday when they are serving through the ’Animal’, its the only way to drink it. Truly, one of my favorites...

This is by far my favorite everyday drink. This ale pours nicely and immediately gets your attention. The aroma is strong and sends your nose on a search for all the complexity in the mix. It is one of the best IPA’s out there, period. A full bodied ale that commands a little respect. It is a bit pricey, ranging from around 9 to 12 bux for the 4 pack. I think it’s worth it, it finishes leaving you wanting another one.
