Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: American Strong Ale
Milton, Delaware USA

On tap fresh @ the brewery and @ redlight redlight. Pours a deep hazy gold/amber with a small frothy off-white head. On the nose massive amounts of citrus and pine hops sitting atop a sweet honey-ish malt profile. In flavor, very sugary with strong citrus hops first, then a very long pine hop assault. Between the sweetness and the over the top hop flavors, its hard to taste the bitterness ending it, but I was left with the tingly mf of massive hop bitterness as the sweetness subsided. This created a drying sensation, but no doubt this is super sweet. Had enough carb to keep it from being overtly syrupy. Its quite an experience, and it seems well made and not a one off novelty, but its something I’m in no rush to revisit anytime soon.

hazy caramel color, thin tan head that quickly dissipates. some nice lacing. citrusy, piney hoppy nose, but not overtly overpowering. flavor of caramel, grapefruit, and a lovely alcohol hit which is not overpowering, nicely hiding the 21% abv. a great hop-head drink. gotta take out a third mortgage on the house to buy more bottles (at $9.99 per bottle) of this.

Floral aroma, you can also smell the alcohol. Great appearance, cloudy orange amber color with a one finger white head. Flavor is good, I wasn’t shocked by the alcohol but that may be because I was expecting something outrageous at 21%. Flavor isn’t too complex, a very thick mouth feel. Overall, not a bad beer. I’m glad I tried it and probably would again.

Pours a very cloudy orange, no head whatsoever. Aroma is pungently hoppy and floral. The taste... alcohol, hops, alcohol, a bit of sweetness like honey, alcohol, alcohol, and alcohol. Good, interesting, but the 90-minute is better. And cheaper.

12 oz bottle. Pours a very cloudy copper with a thin whispy head. So where do I begin, this is one big beer. Aroma of alcohol and citrus. Flavor is citrus, alcohol, and very sweet. I guess I gotta give props for making a somewhat drinkable beer at 21%, but it is almost too much.

Almost undrinkable. Actually completely undrinkable. Incredibly syrupy like drinking corn syrup. No hop aroma whatsoever. Taste is not pleasant at all. A complete novelty in mm opinion. Where are all the hops? Don’t waste your money!

Pours medium copper with no head. The nose is powerful pineapple and floral hops. The flavor goes overripe pineapple juice, honey and apricot. Viscous on the palate, and HOT!

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very complex aroma, velvet and alcohol. Tastes modest velvety, then intense hoppy and strong alcoholic, very intense. Very scratchy finish. Great experience! Thanks to jjpm74 for that bottle!
