Blend two Dogfish Head favorites, add maple syrup and carbonate the mixture naturally. What do you get? 75 Minute IPA.
The carbon dioxide trapped during bottle conditioning gives 75 Minute IPA a soft and velvety mouthfeel. Dry-hopped with whole-leaf Cascades, this complex IPA has been known to inspire pilgrimages to our brewpub.

I've been on a DFH kick lately, grabbed this, two 4 packs of Aprihop, and a Red and White all in the same run.
A: Pours with a huge eggshell white head, probably around 3-4 fingers into my DFH goblet. Awesome lacing, the head is sticking around to make this settled beer look like it's going to be a kicker. Beautiful hazed gold-amber color, not quite opaque but you can't see much through this brew.
S: Hops right off the bat, followed by a nice maple and honey sweetness. Caramel notes, a tiny bit of pine possibly? Oh yea, and hops, definitely no shortage of the hops.
T: While I was expecting something along the lines of a 90 Minute bite with a bit more 60 smoothness- I almost feel if this is more along the palate lines of Aprihop in the sense that it definitely tastes like an IPA, but it doesn't quite have that huge hop bite to it. Definitely tasting the signature DFH honey notes, great hop flavor that is side by side with this maple/caramel sweetness. I like to think of it almost like a sweet and salty combo, but it's sweet and hoppy instead. There is some malty goodness, and a nice splash of pine flavor that almost skates across all of the other flavors. I feel like there is some orange or grapefruit, maybe even an unripened pineapple taste hidden somewhere in here that will come out more as the brew warms to room temp.
M: Medium bodied, not a huge bite but very smooth, somewhat of a dry finish though. Makes me want to eat fresh hops just to keep the initial flavor linger.
O: A winner in my book from DFH, I am definitely interested to see how this one will age. I almost prefer it to the 90 minute if I were to choose a DFH IPA to drink- mainly because it's supposed to have those naturally sweet flavors instead of just popping up in the "in your face" IPA.

Murky orange brown appearance with a foamy head and delicate consistent lacing. Malty, dank, piney, citrus, maple, grain notes. Full body, creamy all the way through. Delicious!

Quart can form the Gaithersburg, MD Alehouse The ale poured an amber color with an off-white foamy head and lacing. The aroma of grapefruit and pale malts was easily detected. The taste is clean with citrus (grapefruit mostly) and a pale malt backbone. The ale has a medium body and average-soft carbonation. Excellent ale, glad I have a quart.

Reminded of this beer by the How many Beers of Fame have you reviewed? post. Reviewed from memory, have probably had about a six-pack in my life. This is fine, but does not live up to the hype.

Clear, bright amber coloring, beautiful bone white head, lasting long, looking lovely.
Aroma: Ah! Citrus and pine aplenty. Gorgeous. A little tropical fruit, melon and pineapple in this nose. Orange and lime, too. Ah, I say again.
Taste: Boom! Just what we want from an IPA, but creamy and smooth and just delightful. Bittersweet notes blast the palate, followed by malty sweetness. None too caustic, this IPA, it's smooth and palatable as can be.
I peeked at the label. Maple syrup? Not getting that yet. Huh.
Hop bitterness is restrained, but enjoyable. Delicious. Tasty. I'm loving it. I'm liking this so much, it's time to find out more about it. Okay, so…."A bottle conditioned India Pale Ale with maple syrup." 7.5% ABV. There are some situations when 90 is too much. There are other situations when 60 is too little. There are many situations when 75 is just right. Bottle-conditioned with pure maple syrup for complexity and dry-hopped out the bejeezum boards."
