There is not much to review this. Big brother of 60 minute. Big in bitterness, aroma, alcohol and body.

Just making minor changes to my 60 Min review.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a large snifter.

Golden color. Very very clear appearance. Finger thick head of white color. Stands as a thin disc. Excellent lacing. Good number of bubbles.

Aroma: Piney hops with a lot of herbal weed presence. Smells a lot like wild weeds in the jungle and that is its point of distinction. If you give this to some beer novice, i am sure he won't drink it just after smelling it. I like the aroma. It is inviting, one-of-a-kind and intoxicating at the same time. Not a very strong aroma but very subtle and complex. You know, it could be any weed, but it is hops.

Taste: Malts upfront and bitter afterwards. Aftertaste is bitter in a distinct way. It really is a different brew. Very unlike any other IPA that i have tried so far, and i have tried quite a few. Not a lot of bitterness but for an AIPA it is just adequate. Dry bitter finish.

Mouth feel: Medium feel. Hop derived astringency that is mild for an hop lover and would be unbearable for a hopophobiac (that is a term i just coined). Moderate carbonation.

I like it just for its distinctiveness and i am ready to try its big brother that is waiting in my fridge.

Style: 4.5
Personal: 4.5

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Poured in draft into snifter.

A: Dark golden color with nice fluffy white head that leaves nice lacing behind.

S: Lots of hops and earthiness mixed with light sweet malts.

T: Pine and citrus flavors from the hops balanced nicely with the richness and sweetness from the malts. This is my kind of IPA. More going on here than just hop bomb.

M: Nice body and good carbonation. Refreshing to drink...

O: Fantasic beer. Makes me reconsider drinking IPA more often.

Serving type: on-tap

I don't consider myself a beer reviewer, but I figured I would put down my honest opinion as it seems to be the thing to do. Bear in mind this is my first day on BA.

To be honest I don't care for IPA's, most of the I don't go back for a second one,the only reason I am drinking them regularly these days is in the hope of "refining my palete." That being said I find myself enjoying this beer enough to the point of helping myself to a secnod one.

The main problem I have with most IPA's is they linger to much on my palate with a bitter aftertaste, 60 minute doesn't do that. It's bitter up front then tapers off leaving me wanting another sip.

All in all, I will keep drinking this beer and I think it will make a good stepping stone for me to keep drinking IPA's.
