The Dogfish head 120 minute IPA is fucking burley. Now it is by no stretch the best tasting beer out there, but it is insane.
When you pour this beer it comes out a nice orange hue and you get the overpowering aroma of hops, and grapefruit. I know I’ve said previously that this or that beer is for hop heads but this beer is for hophead snobs. It’s surprisingly sweet for a beer with so much hops. Trust you can really only handle one of these beers in a sitting. The weird thing with the sweetness of this beer is you can really taste the alcohol; that may be because this beer has an insane 20% ABV. I would highly suggest you run out to your local beer distributor and find out if they carry this and hope that if they do you can catch while it’s out. Now remember this beer only comes out 3 times a year. So if you’re lucky enough to get it, I’d pick up a few. It says it ages well so while I had one, I’m saving one for 10 years down the road. I’d suggest you do the same. Don’t be a pussy and drink this beer!

At one of my favorite local watering holes among the 12 beer taps the one that I usually go for tends to be a little brewski that is an IPA (Cause I am the ultimate hophead) by a little company named Stone. Now Stone seems to be mostly known for their Arrogant Bastard Ale which to me doesn’t seem to hold a candle to this 6.9% ABV IPA. Once you go in for your first smell of this hoppy IPA you get hit with an overpowering smell of hops then after the beer settles you hints of a nice citrus smell.
Now that you’re finished with your smelling you indulge yourself with a few sips. At first you might be turned off since this is a bitter beer, unless that’s your kind of thing. Then with further examination you get a nice sweetness blend with the hops that resembles caramel. After you polish off this beer you feel satisfied, you realize that you can easily polish off a few more and it doesn’t leave you feeling full. Seriously, just do yourself a favor and get up on this beer.

Now this beer here, this is a beer for the books. The Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA comes in packs of 4, which tend to be more expensive then a normal 6 pack. Now don’t let the skimping of bottles fool you, this descendent beer packs a wallop with a 9% ABV. Upon pouring this orange/gold looking beer you get such a powerful aroma of citrus, and tropical fruits that you swear you are about to drink some perfume. You may find yourself having problems downing them one after another like a normal beer due to the robust hoppy taste. With the first sip you’re kind of stunned that you must take another sip; with this second sip your mouth dances with hops, citrus flavor with a bitter after taste. By the time you reach the fourth beer in the pack besides feeling pretty good you’ll start to feel your tongue rebelling against you from such a strong flavor that you’re kind of glad that it only has 4 beers in the pack. This is one beer I would say everyone must try; in fact you should go buy a pack right now and enjoy it because this is certainly one of the best beers out there for you to try.
