Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Milton, Delaware USA

Clear amber with a decent white head. Piney, citrusy aroma is very pleasing and not overpowering. Flavor is hoppy without tasting like your tongue is going to fall off. Very pleasant and drinkable. Aftertaste is very clean and crisp. Not an IPA guy but this is good.

Now this IPA was a little more manageable. I thought the aroma of warm coffee grind was a welcome change from the typical hop/pine scent. The taste also didn’t kick my ass, which I was appreciative of.

12oz. bottle from Publix. Pours a clear, orange-amber. Slight bubbling carbonation throughout. Small white head. Aroma is mostly just sweet hops. Maybe some citrus. Flavor is some nice slightly bittersweet/ piney hops. Medium-light mouthfeel. Bit of a bitter aftertaste. Very good, drinkable IPA. A great intro IPA. A great session beer.

The hops are amazing. Of course Dogfish puts out some of the best IPAs, but this still deserves a note. A strong woody profile that just dominates.

Bottled on 12-11-08. Pour into Stella glass. Slight head diminishing to very thin head. Clear medium amber color. Okay, this aroma is not like I’ve encountered in my recent foray into APAs and IPAs. I do not like this smell! Yeasty to me. More "woody" aroma and bitter taste than the Libery Ale, Odell, Goose Island and Bridgeport IPAs. It gets better with each taste, but overall give me the other ones anyday. I read where someone said only get it on tap, that if bottled it gets bad - well this one is 2 1/2 months from bottled date, maybe that has something to do with my experience. Purchased room temperature from a store one week ago and it has bee in 38-40 degree fridge temperature since. I’d like to give a better rating, as I do enjoy beer, but this one is at the bottom of the category for me at this time. Maybe next time...Okay next time was today. Even worse than before - never again. if I got a bad batch, or is out of date, I do not consider that my responsibility. Why spend my hard-earned $$$ on this crap?

It is okay, but not when comparing it to others in it’s category. Yes, it’s good but when it goes against others in the IPA group. It falls to middle ground. Hope you have a good day!

A really good very hoppy ipa and the abv is nicely low considering that the taste is this powerful. Straightforward and damn good.

Bottle, pint glass, approx. 40deg F Its a refreshing but possibly a little over-hopped for most as you start the lose the malt flavor. A very nice palate cleanser with heavily spiced foods. Bitterness is is balanced with a nice sweet/malty taste that lingers on the front of the tongue. Its a good IPA but not a great one considering the price. It has no major flaws and is easy drinking.
