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.

It has been a long time since I have found a five but this is it. Pours with a two-finger, bubbly white head that fades slowly and leaves a nice lace. Clear amber color. Good carbonation. Nose is sweet, gingery. Starts with a perfect mix of malt and hops and finishes smooth and sweet NOT a session beer . . . savor this beer. Medium bodied. This is the best IPA brewed in the States. Worth $10.99 for a 12oz bottle.

Split the 12 oz with a friend. I’ve had this a number of times, but it’s always superb. Opened up with an aroma that was piney, but also had this interesting sour fruit quality. Taste is syrupy and malty, but also very tangy upfront. Unbelievably thick feeling, if the look of the foam didn’t give any indication. The hops come in a lot more as you swallow, but it’s really just the flavor of them. 120 IBUs here are hardly noticable cause the beer is so smooth. However, the hops have a strong flavor and the finish just tastes unbelievably great. It’s hard to think of any aspect of this beer that I don’t enjoy, I couldn’t believe the taste when I first tried it. If you like sweeter beers, you HAVE to try this. If 6 packs of this were made, and they were remotely affordable, I would always have this in my fridge.

What can I say? Not my favorite style, but I couldn’t imagine anyone doing it better. The hops aren’t even as intrusive as the regular arrogant bastard, but the flavor is incredible. Everything is beautifully balanced; its strength is masked by the wonderful choice of hops and the perfect amount of carbonation...
