Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

OK, I know I've been a little obsessed with DFH lately, but I can't help the fact that they make really good beer. Any way, this nice brew was a very good desert after a nice pasta dinner. I drank it while doing some other writings, on paper even! My eyes are a little burnt out from screens. The 60 minuter is far less intense than the 120 minuter, but that doesn't detract from the quality of either beer. This brew had a very light golden color for an IPA, but still had a typical scent with strong hops. On top of the hop scent, there was a hint of sweet malt that really had me giddy to have the first sip. There was definitely a nice beginning bitterness from the hops, quickly followed by a subtle sweet malt flavor that disappeared leaving a slight hoppy after taste. In the long run, there wasn't much of a lingering flavor making it very crisp.

Beermigos Rating: Burger and a Brew. This was a very lively beer, had some nice tastes to it, but really seemed like it would go well with cheddar and beef. Fairly high in alcohol content, but not quite the absurdity of the 120 minute IPA.
