This is part one of a two-part feature on IPAs. Found a couple recently that I really liked, and want to share with you. This first one is the 60 Minute IPA from Dogfish Head brewery of Milton, Delaware, USA.
BEER: Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA (Dogfish Head Brewery, Milton, DE, USA)
ABV: 6.0%
TYPE: India Pale Ale
SERVED: 355mL brown longneck bottle (6-pack bought at the LCBO) poured into a pint glass
APPEARANCE: Beautiful deep golden colour. Creamy white head that lingers well in the glass.
AROMA: Unmistakeable intense floral aroma of hops is the first thing to hit your nose. It's clear that this is a true, heavily-hopped IPA beer.
TASTE: Powerful and slightly bitter hoppy taste, with the distinctive oily mouthfeel of hops as well. Very nice malty flavour in the middle- to after-taste. Quite pleasant.
OVERALL: This is a fantastic example of an India Pale Ale. For anyone who enjoys Keith's and wants to know what a REAL India Pale Ale tastes like, give one of these a try. Incredible, and very drinkable. I'd highly recommend it. Due to the stronger flavour in this beer, it would go best with a stronger-flavoured food, like a strong cheese. 9.5/10

Yay, a new post - good to see you back at it! Being a Keith's fan myself, I'll definitely have to pick up some of these for a sampling.
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad that you're liking the reviews! I must say, I'm enjoying them as well. Not like I need a reason to try new beers, but it's a little extra encouragement I suppose.
