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.

A - crystal clear golden copper, one thumb of creamy white head retained well, nice sticky lacing
S - resiny, herbal, floral hop highlights, roasty almost burnt malt
T - dank and resiny hops dominate, with florals adding to the bigness of the hop profile, roasty malt gives it some balance, with light spiciness and sweet alcohol to finish
M - low carbonation, smooth and surprisingly not much bitter or dry given the hoppiness, not quite what I was expecting
D - this has a great hop profile that you don't taste often, and the malt is strong enough to hold its own, the high alcohol is very well hidden, only small knock is the feel is not what I like in an IPA but not a bad feel, overall a unique and very drinkable double IPA

Copper body topped with a long lasting fluffy white head. Aroma: very floral, lots of malt & hops & some citrus.. Flavors: a perfect balance of hop bitterness & malt sweetness with some biscuit & a hint citrus. Feel: plenty of carbonation, crisp. It’s 9% is well hidden. Overall:one of the few iPAs is actually enjoy, excellent.

I've drank this brew many times and apparently never rated it. I found a fresh 19.2 oz can at the bottle shop and bought a few. Poured into my favorite tulip a deep amber tone, light fluffy head. Aroma is mild but quite present, mostly malty. First taste is so full and amazing. VERY balanced and full of a variety of notes. Savoring all of that . . .mmm and then the feel is medium to sticky with a yummy biscuit crisp finish. THIS is one of THE most balanced American IPAs ever produced.

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.
