Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA, an Imperial/Double IPA by Dogfish Head Brewery12 ounce. Pours the color of a newly minted penny. The head is a light cream color, frothy, an inch thick, and leaves sheets of lacing behind. Lively carbonation fuels smells of sweet, summer grass; citrus; other fruits; lightly buttered, toasted grain; and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is complex and balanced. Orange is primary, with a grapefruit edge. Just slightly acidic. The flavor mellows as it progresses, but lasts. For a high "alcohol by volume" beer (9%), there is surprisingly little alcohol flavor on the finish.
This Imperial India Pale Ale is not quite as "harsh" on the initial draught like some IPAs. It is acidic, but not overly so. Excellent. I could just keep drinking this.
