bottled 4/17/08. very murky copper pour, nearly opaque. with more head it would be a 5, very appetizing appearance. but it still has a surprising amount of carb for the abv. nose def has a bit of alcohol sheeting the aromas, but there is actually a decent bouquet here. the usual hops, malt, bready yeast, but then there is actually a slightly funky, cheesy twang happening as well. this twang is also available in the taste and aftertaste, giving it notes reminiscent of a good sour. pretty odd.the taste is awesome bitter and resinous. the hops are so dense that funky, smokey, woody, and port like aspects begin to appear. not sure how long it will take me to finish this bottle, very heavy stuff. if anything ever deserved to be in a 7 oz bottle, this is it.

On look we’ve got a sparkling light copper colored beer with a short lived head. Massive floral bouquet and sweetness that would attract any AHB (africanized honey bee) within a 250 mile radius. The amount of fruit on the tongue is impressive. Orange, apricot, and other citrus notes are balanced with just the right amount of sugar. An extreme beer in a class of its own.

Orange color with a very distinctive concentrated sweet and floral aroma. To compare this to another beer might be wrong. It is in a league all its own. A mixture of citrus, apricots and sugary malt. Although it is extreme, it is somehow balanced. It is great the way it is. What an amazing beer.

12 oz. bottle from World Market, Newport News, VA (Bottled May 1, 2009 and tasted on September 22, 2009). Dark orange pour with little to no head. Rich, sweet pineapple, tangerine, and vanilla aroma. Taste is sugary, citrusy, and syrupy. Alcohol is noticeable even if Dogfish has cutback to 18% on the 2009 version. While I applaud the effort I can’t say that I really enjoyed this as much as some others. I hope to revisit 120 Minute with an aged bottle.

Shit. This is crazy. Shared with Cavie. I had about half a bottle. Maybe less. It’s crazy. Very sweet. Very thick and hoppy.

The beer is a fairly thick golden liquid with a good head. The hops dominate with a citric-orange flavor, but the malt isn’t terribly far behind with an excellent caramel sweetness. The beer is fairly sweet but, shockingly, never cloyingly so. I may not understand Sam Calagione and co., but they are very, very skilled brewers. This beer was very good, just not at all what I was expecting.
