60 Minute IPA – Dogfish Head (Milton, DE, USA)

TL:DR – “super clean tangerine citrus w/ light malt backbone, stealth bitterness for an IPA”

60 Minute IPA – Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, 6% ABV, 12 fl.oz., (Milton, Delaware, USA)

  • Style: India Pale Ale
  • Taste: tangerine sweet barley malt clean non-bitter
  • Where I got it : World Market / Santa Monica
  • How much: $1.96 USD / $2.55 CAD – 12 fl.oz., March 2018
  • Do I love this enough to drink it again: No
  • Recommended: not especially
  • What made an impression: super clean

Visual: Pours translucent golden orange without much of a head, ringed retention, barely an island, a few bubbles here and there, uneventful.

Nose: citrusy hopped grainy barley malt, honey, musky. (lvl-3)-pungency.

Attack: light crisp, malty body

Mid-palate: (lvl-4-sweetness), juicy tangerine hop oils, sweet bready malt backbone

Finish: residual liquid barley malt, ultra-subtle bitterness, slight resiny.

Summary: So clean and smooth that it’s almost boring; Meaning, each sip is reliably balanced and serene. Nothing special visually or aromatically. Flavours won’t wow you.
