30 Minutes Too Long

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA:

Apparently Esquire called it "perhaps the best IPA in America."  I would look at the other half of the glass and say perhaps not.  Too fruity, and not nearly as delicious as the 60-minute version.  And to add expense to inadequacy, it was far more expensive.  I've had much worse, but I've had much better.  [My wife deemed it "not too bad," but wouldn't call it good either.]

  1. Apparently there's a 120 minute version that's only available on reserve.

    As for me, the less hoppy the better. My own beer barely has any, although I just started a stout that really grew into an adult after the (surprisingly amount of) hopping.

  2. I've only sampled the IPAs on tap at Dogfish itself -- are they much more expensive when served bottled elsewhere?

  3. At the grocery store where I was shopping, a 4-pack of the 90-minute IPA was $10; a 6-pack of the 60-minute IPA was $8-9.
