Aroma...aroma...aroma...aroma..... Bitter....bitt but, after the initial assault, the flavor settles down on your tongue like a chatty rapist...asking you if you liked the ordeal....strangely...I did...a lot!

I agree that it deserves top honors among the IPA’s. Was my favorite until I tried the Rogue Imperial IPA. I think it gives 90 Minute a run. But there can be no doubt that this beer has great flavor, great balance, great body, texture, aroma, everything. The finish is where 90 Minute and Rogue diverge, and I think its a coin flip between the two.

Bottle served in a tulip. Silky honey orange in color. Half head, half liquid. The way an IPA should be. Flavors are rich caramel, raisin, orange, and pineapple. Thick, creamy mouthfeel and mild carbonation on a soft delivery. This is followed by a waft of sweet malt, then a slightly bitter finish. Great balance between the malts and hops.

12oz. bottle. Amber in colour. Minimal head that quickly disappeared. Smells a bit like hoppy Drambuie. Caramel, and citrus hops. Full bodied. Again, I’ll stick with the Drambuie comparison with beautiful citrus (grapefruit) hops. Bitter finish. A favourite. In my top 10 for sure.

Didn’t like this beer that much. It was drinkable but the sweetness reminded me of the Ska Decadent IPA. Too sweet. Nice bitterness from the hops in the flavor and aftertaste but the sweetness ruined this beer for me.

12 oz bottle at 2.75$ @ Winooski. Pours clear amber with a medium head. Nose is hoppy. Very fruity, piny and a bit floral. Some alcohol and spices also. Nice complexity on the nose. Taste is quite bitter but with some mellow fruits at the same time. Finish is very bitter and fruity. Alcohol is quite present but goes well with the bitterness. A bit sweet but quite crisp and dry overall. I am a big fan of the 60 minute IPA but this is much better. A bit less drinkable but much more complex and rich.

Poured with a nice but non-lasting 2 finger head. Aroma of sweet hops and a matching taste. Very sweet citrus notes. I say citrus, but it actually tastes like there’s a lemon/orange peel in the beer. Nice taste, bittersweet palate. Overall, i’ve had better IIPA’s, but this isn’t bad
