Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute IPA "perhaps the best IPA in America." An imperial IPA best savored from a snifter, 90 Minute has a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate.
90 Minute IPA was the first beer we continuously hopped, allowing for a pungent -- but not crushing -- hop flavor.

I love this beer. Have picked it up a few times this year, and will definately be grabbing it again in the future. Its so drinkable for such a big and hoppy beer, which is no small feat. Had this one simultaneously with BWFH a few weeks back at a little session with fellow BAs raider and chonyr. the BWFH just didnt compare to this fine double IPA.
Appearance
A nice clear amber ale poured with a 1/2 finger light tan head. Intricate, fine lacings were produced by this finely carbonated ale.
Aroma
What a big, rich, and resinous ale. Pine and grapefruit almost cover sweet caramel malts, and a touch of toast, with a hint of nuttiness.
Taste
What a big, sweet, bitter, and resinous ale. The sweet, buttery caramel, toasty, and nutty malts are smothered in resinous, hoppy flavours of pine and grapefruit peel. Interesting pineapple-like flavours become more evident as this ale is enjoyed.
Mouthfeel
What a big, sweet, and bitter balanced DIPA. This is a full bodied, almost creamy, astringent ale. Theres a little alcohol heat in the finish, but its amazingly well hid in this brew. The light carbonation nicely accentuates this brew, preventing it from being cloying.
Drinkability
This is an amazingly drinkable full bodied, richly malted, and heavily hopped DIPA. The wonderful balance between rich malts and resinous hops actually allow this big beer to be a great, decadent session brew. Ill be enjoying this one again.

Such a dependable beer. Really good for being available across the country. Hop forward but mellowed quickly with malt and yeast backing. ABV also mellowed with great pairing of hops and yeast. Smooth but demanding respect.

Poured slightly dark orange with a off white head from a 12 oz bottle. Hazy to clear with the foamy head disapating to lace. Aromas are strongly floral with sweet malt. The flavors are heavy hop with malty sweetness. Aftertaste is drying and spicy, with warming alcohol. Very good

It’s not the best in the world, but it’s darn good and lives up to its ranking.

It’s not the best IPA in America but it is very good. Nice malty backbone but I do get the 9% ABV. Would pick up again but it has a lot of competition.

Really good, but world class is a stretch. Looks great with a nice color, ok head, nice lacing. Unremarkable nose. The best feature is a taste that combines maltiness without sugariness with hoppiness without bitterness, all of which pleasantly lingers on the palate.
