I bought a pack of these at Lone Hill Liquors in Glendora, CA several months ago, and I've already consumed half of them, so I have a pretty good idea of what to expect: a very hoppy, very richly flavored beer that's about as good as it gets for me in the dIPA world.

Poured into my Stone IRS tulip glass, this poured an impeccably clean amber with a very typically thin but even head.

The odor was an appetizing mix of piney hops and burnt toffee.

The flavor mirrored the odor, although the "burnt toffee" effect came with just the slightest hint of toasted coffee beans, along with the strong, burning presence of alcohol.

I'm partial to single IPA's, but I've tried the 60, 90, and 120 minute varieties of Dogfish Head, and in every case, I appreciated and enjoyed what they had to offer. The 60 is still my favorite, but you really can't go wrong with any of there; it all depends on how much alcohol and how much hoppiness suits your tastes.

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.

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.
