Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA

I had a few of these outstanding copper-orange colored brews before Monday Night Football (check out the post under events) in DC this year. Being 9% ABV, a few of these will definitely put you in the mood to watch a live sporting event.

According to the label, the 90 Minute IPA “is an Imperial Indian Pale Ale featuring a single, constant 90 minute hop addition. It’s balanced by a ridiculous amount of English Two-row Barley. Then we dry hop it in every tank.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

The 90 Minute is a magnificent copper color with orange hues and a shallow, light tan head. The combination of citrus fruits and spices give this beer a distinctive flavor and a strong, spicy aroma. It is a bit tart as you first sip, but mellow and smooth towards the back end. I personally enjoy the aftertaste, but there is a definite alcohol presence. This is not a beer for the faint of heart.

Dogfish Head produces high quality, interesting beers, and the 90 Minute is no exception. This is one great tasting beer that will definitely get the party started.
