As I’ve stated before, I am a huge fan of the beer that Dogfish Head brews. And with IPA’s being my favorite style of beer, I knew I was in for a treat with this one. Luckily, and not surprisingly at all, I was not disappointed in the slightest. The 60 Minute IPA is a very well balanced, and delicious brew.

I poured into a tulip glass, and was greeted with a deep gold and amber color. There was not much head at all, perhaps a half-inch or so. It is definitely a fairly clear brew, with only carbonation bubbles clouding it up.

The 60 Minute IPA has a very distinct aroma to it, which left me very excited to take my first sip. It has a very piney smell to it, along with a variety of fruits. Citrus played a huge role in the design of this beer, with lemons and oranges providing very subtle undertones to the more apparent hoppy aroma.

The taste follows suit quite nicely with the aroma. I thought it was going to be a bit hoppier, but was actually pleasantly surprised to be sipping on a smoother IPA. I was a bit amazed at how easy it went down. The same citrusy notes apparent in the smell were made very clear in the taste as well.

I’ll be completely honest; I could drink this everyday and be pretty content. There is nothing absolutely incredible that stands out about it, but it is a very solid, very drinkable IPA. I may not have enjoyed your Raison D’Etra, but good job on this one Dogfish. Next up, 90 Minute…
