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. Editors note: ABV reduced down to 18% in 2009.

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.

Enjoyed at cellar temp. Pours a golden orange. Nose is intense, banana comes to mind, as well as citrus and pine. Taste is wild, as expected. Shockingly sweet, perhaps too sweet, maybe to counterbalance the alcohol. Hops are present but not as much as expected, the alcohol was promininent. Finishes sweet, very mild bitterness. After finishing the bottle, i was a wee-bit dizzy, lol. Overall impressed with the beer, will definetly try again, i feel this beer is the extreme, and you must appreciate it.

Draft at the Anvil-Houston TX. Glowing orange color, filtered and no head. Sweet sticky taste with a nose of ripe fruit and stale flowers. Obviously very alcoholic and a nice sipper.

Snifter draft pours golden in color with a light head. Big sweet aroma with a slight bit of resin, citrus and pine. Extreme sweetness when you sip it with a nice alcohol burn. Surprisingly not a aggressively hopped so as to pull the enamel off your teeth. It is more subdued from what I remember. Was so proud when my wife downed it in a short time in front of a bar of beer geeks. I was told by a few guys that she is a keeper. That’s my girl.

Smells very sweet and piney. A beautiful hazy orange/gold in color. It is initially very sweet then transitions into a piney/citrus hop kick it the tongue that lingers...so good! The abv reveals itself as it finishes with a great warming in the throat. I would have another, but I think im too drunk to walk to the fridge!

On tap at the Draft Magazine PBS Beer Festival. Pours a hazy amber with a thin tan head. The nose is sweet citrus and caramel malt. The taste is brown sugar, rock candy, and candied citrus. Medium mouthfeel. Good, but way too sweet for me. I’m glad I got to try a sample rather than wasting a 10 spot on a bottle.
