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.

Pours orange with almost no head. Aroma is hops, sweet fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is over the top sweetness and bitterness. Alcohol is covered up well by the immense sweetness but I wouldn’t call this one balanced by a long shot. Interesting beer that is fun to try. I’ll like to see how the one in my celler tastes after five years probally like sugar water.

I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to rate this one...Pours amber/orange with very little head. Aroma smells strongly of apricots...sweet w/ alcohol. Taste is very interesting...less beer tasting, more apricot liqueur. Alcohol is apparent but not obvious (as I would expect from 21%). Nice mouth feel that finishes mostly clean ( a tad bitterness lingers). A very good beer that , at 21%, is deceptively drinkable. Impressive but also potentially dangerous:)

Since the hops take a backseat to the sweet (and very drinkable) alcohol I wouldn’t say this was the ’Holy Grail’. However this beer was delicious and will quickly put you in a good mood.

Love the aroma and the color. For the hoppy description of the brewing it really didn’t deliver the bite I was expecting. It was a little syrupier (add that to websters) than I’m used to on the palate, but the flavor was very complex with plenty of fruits to find. It grew on me as I drank it more and more. Hope that wasn’t just the 21% clouding my judgement.
