Poured a very smooth amber color. It was almost syrupy. Fine, creamy head, which left a decent lacing as the glass went down.

Smells a bit sweet, which is encouraging for an IPA, IMO, with just a little bitter smell to it. Hop aroma is strong, yet not overwhelming. There's more to this one that just the hops.

Very smooth in the mouth, likely due to the fine carbonation. A decent bitterness to it, yet not overpowering like you might expect with a DIPA.

Tasted exactly how it smelled, slightly sweet, yet not malty, a palatable amount of bitterness, and the expected hop flavor. It gathers a more "fresh" hop taste as it warms, and gets a very well-blended taste/feel to it. The sweetness of the malt seems to fit right in with the hops.

Very drinkable, despite the ABV. I must be careful with this one in the future.

Other thoughts: Beats the hell out of their 60 minute IPA, when it comes to flavor, IMO.

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.
