Dogfish Head’s 60-Minute IPA

Billed as “continuously hopped” and i’m not sure what that’s supposed to do for the beer, but i’ve had hoppier. A little tangy on the beer side of the equation, almost like you can taste the stainless steel it was brewed in. The hop side of the formula is bright but blunt, gets citrus on you and grasps at the tart ring but that’s just out of its clutches.

A sweet lemony flavor, think Lemonheads not Sour Patches. Halfway through the pint, the sweetness grows up and leaves the hops behind. At 6% alk this won’t brew your brain, but still strong enough to respect. By no means a terrible thing, but nothing here really stands out. Aftertaste fades too quickly and the body is light. Tastes like it would make a great pairing with white fish for dinner, but not a beer adventure on its own. I’ll call this one at 5.2, for being unremarkable yet $10 bux a six, and that’s on sale.
