Honestly... I continue to think.. year in and year out that this is one of the best beers I have ever tasted... I even limit myself to getting a pint only now and then... so that I don’t get used to it... Whenever I am at the British Beer Company in Pembroke... I always ask for one (most of the time they have it)... Great Beer... great everything about it... The Prefect Imperial IPA!

Simply put, amazing. On others’ scales, the American Bud is "full-bodied," which alternatively lacks any direction or description. Moving on, Imperial IPAs dominate my taste buds, especially when DFH taps into some high quality hops! With these rising hops prices, its great to have such a distinct process as the constant 90 minute hop addition, as it makes beer delicious to smell, taste, savor, and when possible, share.

I have had this beer many times and it is definitely one of my favorite DIPAs. Citrusy and malty sweet, the balance becomes more bitter (and therefore better balanced) as it warms and you drink. Outstanding!

My first sip was something magical. It was like kissing a girl for the first time. Sensations raced through my veins, and like Remy in Ratatouille describes it, "flavors exploded in my mouth". A parade of tastes marching on my tongue. Pairs very well with dishes with garlic and strong flavors. I’m going to attempt pairing this with Kalbi (Korean BBQ). Charcuterie would also work well I think.

I have enjoyed this beer numerous times both in the bottle and on tap. I find that each time I drink this beer i discover a new flavor to latch onto also this is dependent on what i’m eating. But the maltiness is perfect with a good sweetness in the hops and great texture and color. Just a perfect offering from my favorite beer company

I agree that it deserves top honors among the IPA’s. Was my favorite until I tried the Rogue Imperial IPA. I think it gives 90 Minute a run. But there can be no doubt that this beer has great flavor, great balance, great body, texture, aroma, everything. The finish is where 90 Minute and Rogue diverge, and I think its a coin flip between the two.

This is the beer that changed my life as a beer drinker, was a canoe beer drinker before. This beer made me see the errors of my ways. If there is a perfect beer this is it. The perfect balance of malts without being overly sweet and the perfect hop bitterness without puckering your backside. Had on draught and bottle in fact if i were cut i think i would bleed 90 minute IIPA. Can’t get enough
