Bottled on 1/04/11. A nice fresh example review.

Pours medium amber into my DFH signature glass. This white head forms and lingers, quite possibly due to the glass. Smell is a nice healthy dose of grapefruit hops.

Taste is dominated by hops. Grapefruit mostly, with some pine, and even citrus. A perfect beer for hop lovers. Just enough bready malt in the background to balance this one out. Finishes nicely, not too sweet or particularly dry.

After every sip your mouth is left coated with hop resin, awesome. Bitterness on the sides of the tongue is a welcome feeling for this hop head. Goes down quickly. Average ABV and tons of hop flavor make this beer incredibly drinkable. An almost perfect IPA at this level of freshness.

60 Minute IPA is a hazy, light amber color with about a half inch of foam, clnging nicely to the glass. Very carbonated, with no pieces of sediment visible. The aroma evokes the scent of sweet baked goods, along with a pleasing pine fragrance. With a sip, I find it toasty, bready, as well as nutty, buttery, and sweet. The lemon/citrus hop flavors come in and initially are not too bitter...until the finish kicks in with a harsher and dryer wave washing over the palate. It's a medium feeling beer and totally drinkable. An iconic IPA, this is one of the beers that made me fall in love with the style and craft beer in general. For fans of the style with a bit of a malt balance, it's the 'all day' IPA before Founders coined the term.
