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.

Pours a nice amber. A nice malt flavor with pine and a crisp finish. Easy drinking beer for an imperial. Very refreshing.

12 oz. bottle pours a clear reddish amber with medium sized creamy head that leaves good lacing. Aroma has floral hops, pine resin, orange marmalade, and sweet caramel. This may be the sweetest DIPA I've tried, but the sweetness is balanced. Each sip makes me look forward to the next one to see what else I might notice. Body is medium to full with lively carbonation yet a sticky mouthfeel. A classic which I hadn't revisited in way too long.

T sweet sticky bold, profile of caramel malt, candied citrus, resin, and maybe a touch of vanilla; dotted w/ zestiness and light bitterness; delicious
Mf full-bodied and satisfying; med to med-high carb; lightly creamy
O an excellent DIPA; has been one of my favorites in the style over the years- tried and true, and hits the spot every time

Can't say much more than what's already been said.
Note that, of the DFH "Minute IPAs," 90--with a 92 rating-- is second only to the Utopia Barrel-Aged 120!
Stovepipe can, stamped July 2026, purchased at Banks in Ocean View Delaware. This baby is fresh.
Pours an outrageously thick, towering, creamy white head the likes of which I've not seen on a beer in a long time.
Lacing is thick, super sticky and coats the entire top half of the glass. Wowza.
Aroma not as powerful as the pour. Just some faint pine, dank dark citrus, and toasty biscuit.
Taste is phenomenal. Sticky, sweet, resinous pine, mixed with orange marmalade; great old school hop bitterness, and the classic 'solid malt backbone.'
Delightful drinkability, as each sip coats the lips, tongue, and mouth with bitter, sticky, resinous goodness. Each sip invites one to pause and savor,and smile. Each sip beckons the next..
The medium body and carbonation makes for such pleasurable drinkability. Did somebody say 9%?
Give yourself 90 minutes, sip slowly, and enjoy this world-class American IPA .

This is an amazing Imperial IPA, which is so smooth - you can't get enough of it. Many Imperials are pushing the limits, ending up being way too thick and difficult to drink. Not this one. If Guinness is the nectar of Gods, this is the mead :)

(review from May 2024) Hopheads rejoice! Very well-balanced, complex fooler of a 9% double ipa with enough heft on the tongue to stand up 4 itself! 90 minutes indeed!

Look: It pours amber and has great clairty. It has an off white head with excellent head retention.
Aroma; It has some pine and herbal aromas up front. There are some floral notes as well.
Taste: It has some stone fruit and citrus with the pine and floral notes. It has a quite spicy mixture with the other elements.
Feel: It has a medium full body with a strong bitter finish. The bitter finish is strong, but not unpleasant.
Overall: Strong flavors and a great look make this a classic west coast IPA.
