Commercial Description:
Too extreme to be called beer? Brewed to a colossal 45°P, boiled for a full 2 hours while being continually hopped with high alpha American hops, dry-hopped every day in the fermenter for a month, and aged for a month on whole leaf hops, 120 Minute IPA is by far the strongest IPA ever brewed. And at 21% ABV and 120 IBU’s, you can see why we are calling this the Holy Grail for Hopheads.

On tap in a sniffer. Pours slighty hazy with nice lacing.sweet malt and grapefruit on the nose. Super sweet with an alcohol bite. Always a good beer to start a night off with.

NOW THIS IS AN IPA, after having the 90 i was expecting not to like this beer but i had to give it a shot and i am glad i did. i expected the same unbalanced characteristics that the 90 had but i was wrong, this beer is amazing, almost 22% but it is barley noticable. great hop profile.

Bottle from winter, late 2008/early 2009. Pours copper-orange, with a thin beige head, good lasting lacing. Strong alcohol aroma, with caramel, grapefruit, heavy pine resin, peach, hay, and an earthy, fungal undertone. Medium body, low carbonation, somewhat sticky, but smooth and dry. Very sweet malt flavor up front, caramel, bread, apple, and a strong alcohol, pine and hay finish. Slightly more sweet than bitter in the aftertaste. This is a huge, wild and burly beer.

Play it again, Sam. The massive number of hop additions and whatever other strange alchemy Dogfish Head did to this beer created a surprising beast of a beer. My best description would be to call this beer a light, carbonated port wine. It does not tastes bitter. It is almost syrupy sweet, and there is a definite raisin flavor. Yet, the hop flavor shines, harnessing the sweetness and making the beer very drinkable - albeit in sips rather than gulps. I need to find more.

I found it awesomely delicious. Well worth the $10 I paid for each bottle. I had my dad try it but he found it a bit much for him so lucky me...I got both!

Here’s the thing about this beer: I am damn glad there are people out there willing to push the envelop and make interesting, wicked strong beers. I have seen reviews saying the color isn’t appealing because it’s orange, too sweet, etc. and IMO those are people that aren’t disturbed enough to be alowed to drink this beer. I am going to have another just to double-check though.
