look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5

Appearance: Dark straw/copper color with a soapy off-white head. Pretty much the same as their 60 Minute. Nice carbonation bubbles floating upwards.

Aroma: Lots of caramel malt and some bready notes with a piney hop presence. Not quite as aromatic as I expected but still smells great.

Taste: From beginning to end you get a great bitter hop bite. It's slightly spicy and piney with a dash of sweet hop flavor that impacts a real nice bitterness. Evenly matched with all those hops is a solid malt body. Caramel, bread, and some hints of roasted malt create a perfect structure for the hops to stand on. The 9% abv is so well hidden it has to be tasted to be believed. There is a slight warmth in the throat but that just adds to the enjoyment.

Mouthfeel: Damn near perfect. Medium bodied and drinkable. Very smooth with a nice level of effervescence.

Final Thoughts: If I could get DFH where I lived then this one would always be in my fridge. It would probably pair really well with most meaty dishes and works really well on it's own. Can't wait to get my hands on this one again!

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.
