Finally i am having a dogfish head brew.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a large snifter.

Golden color. Very clear appearance. Half finger thick head of white color. Stands as a thin disc. Excellent lacing. Small 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.

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA has a thick, creamy, slightly off-white head, and a clear, fairly bubbly, golden appearance, with substantial lacing left behind. The aroma is of sweet, sugary medium-roasted barley malt, with a faint presence of hop oil. Taste is of those things, plus the beer has a strong, yet not harsh, hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium and soft, and Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA finishes dry, refreshing, and easy drinking. Overall, I prefer a harsher hop attack, but this beer is still most excellent.
