Wow! This is a nice IPA! It first goes down smooth, but the maltiness is quickly replaced by the strong hops which stick around for a long-lasting aftertaste. I haven't yet had the 120 minute, but this is the hoppiest beer I've ever had that has remained balanced and natural-tasting. Most highly recommended.

High Class stuff. Not my style, cause I’m not into bitter ales, but its a very smooth bitter high class ale that got me feeling real good in short order.

Beautiful hoppy citrusy aroma. Makes my mouth water. Dark gold/light amber appearance...a little murkey, with a small amount of manilla head. The flavor is a massive onslaught of hops and absolutely no malt taste. Bitter and dry aftertaste. Sits nicely on the palate and you really don't get the full balance until swallowing. Very good IPA.

My favorite beer at the 2004 SE gathering. Very hoppy aroma. Crisp, clean hop flavor throughout with a lingering bitterness on the tongue. Wonderful!

This beer wants to grap your tastebuds by the scruff of the neck, shake ’em up, then take ’em out back and fight them. This one will get your attention. Very rich mouthfeel that stand up to all those hops. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but some about this beer seems like the work of a skilled homebrewer as opposed to a commercial brewer.

Just came across this at the local store. I am an English Bitter fan, and this beer bowled me over with quality. Lots of hops, but not the kind that constricts the back of the throat, but the kind that refreshes your soul. Lots of body and remarkably smooth for 9%. Drink it in a hot attic while writing poetry! It’s good to see that I am not the only one who had a $*!@ of a time getting the cork out. I will pursue other Dogfish brews!

Aroma...aroma...aroma...aroma..... Bitter....bitt but, after the initial assault, the flavor settles down on your tongue like a chatty rapist...asking you if you liked the ordeal....strangely...I did...a lot!

Can’t believe I never rated the 90 Min. It’s still one of my favorites to date. Deep orange, creamy white head. Nose is rich pine, spruce, spiced grapefruit, caramel, and a hint of earth. Bitter citric hops and sweet malt chime in with big flavors that provide great balance. Full bodied, syrupy, soft carbonation, bitter-sweet finish. Soooo freakin good.
