Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
Beer-a-Day #193
Esquire Magazine calls [Dogfish Head] 90 Minute IPA., “perhaps the best I.P.A. in America.” An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate.
I talked about the 60 Minute IPA recently, so this is the same, only more so. Right? About one-and-a-half times more.
Pretty golden color, not unlike a bock. Big floral and spice hop aroma. Lotsa hops there, with a hint of oakiness. This wouldn’t be bad to cellar. Delicious. As I get further into it, the better it gets.

Beer-a-Day #349 Belgica—the Roman name the Low Countries—is a marriage of the best in American and Belgian brewing traditions. Belgian pilsner malt, a generous amount of American and European hops and a unique Belgian yeast strain combine to give Belgica big notes of citrus and spice, creating a lively concoction perfect for spring in the

Beer-a-Day #327 Ten years ago we brewed our first batch of Shoals Pale Ale, our American interpretation of the traditional British ESB (Extra Special Bitter) style. At the time, it was widely considered to be darned hoppy. However, a funny thing happened over the last decade – our Shoals Pale Ale didn’t change; beer lovers

Beer-a-Day #326 Medium amber with a little chill haze. Big hop aroma, with grapefruit and toast. Big hop flavor and delicious. They should just call this “hop head’s delight”.

Beer-a-Day #317 I was at my favorite retailer recently and I was able to score seven craft beers in cans. I declare a “Can Week”! (But, sadly, this is the end.)

Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA

Beer-a-Day #289 Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale is a big American IPA; bold, assertive and full of flavor and aromas highlighting the complex citrus, pine and herbal character of whole-cone American hops. I’d been hearing a lot about this beer, but I wasn’t seeing it at any of my local retailers. I’m glad it came into
Victory HopDevil

Beer-a-Day #278 Menacingly delicious, with the powerful, aromatic punch of whole flower American hops backed up by rich, German malts. HopDevil Ale offers a roller coaster ride of flavor, coasting to a smooth finish that satisfies fully. I am an unapologetic hop-head. How could I not get something called “HopDevil”? Deep amber with a thick

Beer-a-Day #268 This tribute to West Coast-style American IPAs is loaded with American hops from start to finish balanced by a touch of malty sweetness. Orangish-amber with a thick head. Very sharp grapefruity aroma. Nice bite. Good stuff.

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

Beer-a-Day #259 A full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin and brown sugar. We brew our Punkin Ale with pumpkin meat, organic brown sugar and spices. This is the perfect beer to warm-up with, as the season cools. I’m pretty ambivalent about flavored or fruit beer, but for some reason I love me some

Beer-a-Day #257 Lucky Kat purrs as he pours with a grin on his mangy face and a grin in his searching eye. He sits on the fence he calls home, dividing up from down. Is he an imperial beast or a pale soul from the east? Only he knows and we know only this: if
