Notes:
Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute IPA "perhaps the best IPA in America." An imperial IPA best savored from a snifter, 90 Minute has a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate.

90 Minute IPA was the first beer we continuously hopped, allowing for a pungent -- but not crushing -- hop flavor.

4.08/5  rDev -4.9%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured out of a 12 oz brown bottle into a large snifter glass. No visible freshness or bottling date.

A - Aggressive pour yields a finger of frothy tope head. Dissipates after a minute or so and leaves pretty spotty lacing. Film of microbubbles remains throughout. Body is dried apricot and muddy orange with pinkish highlights.

S - Piney, grapefruit, some medicinal qualities and even a faint hint of incense/nag champa

T - Bitterness and pine resin up front. A touch of juiciness and stronger citrus elements. Malty finish with lingering bittersweet.

M - Pleasant, resinous and sticky. Medium bodied with decent carbonation.

Overall, an excellent example of the style. Powerful, but complex and balanced.

Poured the 90 Minute Imperial IPA in to a Belgian Tulip.

A - Poured aggressively with a two and a half finger of off white head. The color is light amber that you can see right through.

S - Initially getting some light pine, a little grapefruit, with more roasted malt than I was expecting. Kind of curious about this one.

T - I'm kind of shocked, this beer has a ton of flavor, way more than the smell. Getting more malt than expected here as well. Lots of roasted goodness comes through. Yes, there is some hops and grapefruit, but not what I was expecting. Good, Yes . I'm just not sure about the flavor profile. Think malt first, then comes the hops and bitterness.
Yeah, I love it.

M - A thick beer here, medium leaning towards a heavy. I know this beer has some calories to it. Smooth of course, and finishes nicely.

O - Wow, Impressed in good way. Recommended! Cheers!

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA has a medium, off-white head, an unclear, brilliant, amber-orange appearance, with thin, white lacing, and an enormous amount of bubbles all about. The aroma is very juicy up front (think of mango), with an underlying toasted barley malt note. Taste is of sweet, juicy hops, hop oil, some bitterness, and toasted barley malt. Mouthfeel is medium and a bit oily, and Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA finishes semi-dry, sweet, mildly alcohilic, and surprisingly easy drinking. Overall, this beer was not as bitter, rich, extreme, and hoppy as the hype led me to believe. That aside, I still think it is a wonderful beer to be able to sample. Overall, I rate this as outstanding.
