75 Minute IPA
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

 

Pours a golden amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma is citrus, pine, and malt. Taste is citrus hops, caramel malt, and moderate bitterness. I get sweetness, but not maple. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. A balanced IPA with hop flavor and malt character that is on the sweet side. Maple flavor is not present.

750ml bottle poured into a Pizza Port can-style glass

o- floral hop character over biscuity malt, w/ light-med bitterness in the finish; no maple flavor detected, disappointing enough (that was my draw to this beer); light-med bodied w/ high carb (too much carb, imo); overall [while not terrible], an underwhelming experience that was far different than what I was anticipating

I don’t think I want to waste any time on this one… I had to look at the package to see if it had expired or anything… The sweetness reminds me of the old 90 minute cloying syrupy sweetness… but it does taste like one of those IPAs you buy and it tastes funny… And you look on the package to see that the best-enjoyed-by date is 2 years ago…

It’s just not balanced… There’s the extreme of the sweetness and then the bitterness is a totally different extreme… It’s like the syrup needs to be toned down and the sharp bitterness is simply one-dimensional

in a sense, the hoppiness has no depth and it pokes its head up out of the syrup every once in awhile then goes back to the ocean floor…

I’m sure it’s gonna be better as an ingredient in some beer bread

I think I like this more than 60... and 90 Minute IPA. More smooth, rich and sweet than 60 (I assume that's the maple syrup doing the work, although it doesn't "taste like maple," as others have noted)--and not quite as tart as 90. Less herbacious and less bitter than both. The hop profile is almost unassuming really, but it's there.

Nice creamy head that lasts. Smooth balanced with hops understated. 12 oz.can stamped Sept 2025. .I'ts july now. From variety pack. The sweetness is not overdone and the 7.5 abv is not pushy. A nice subtle mouthfeel. Nice alt IPA.

 

Really nice!

Dark gold pour (pushing amber), creamy light khaki head with staying power. Nose is maple, citrus, pine.

Taste shares caramel, medium kilned malt, soft pine oil, citrus, mild maple syrup. Mouthfeel is velvety as the label says. Finish is smooth with a lingering resiny hoppiness that is not overpowering, but does have some length.

 

Nice looking beer. Deep, golden color with a huge white head. The aroma of tropical fruits, malt, and a hint of maple syrup. Bitterness and malty sweetness are intertwined. Hops dominate in finish. Medium body, rather low carbonation. Great IPA.

 

Murky orange brown appearance with a foamy head and delicate consistent lacing. Malty, dank, piney, citrus, maple, grain notes. Full body, creamy all the way through. Delicious!

Quart can form the Gaithersburg, MD Alehouse The ale poured an amber color with an off-white foamy head and lacing. The aroma of grapefruit and pale malts was easily detected. The taste is clean with citrus (grapefruit mostly) and a pale malt backbone. The ale has a medium body and average-soft carbonation. Excellent ale, glad I have a quart.

Poured this from a bottle.
