Partial Transcript: "On tap -- 90 Minute Imperial IPA

Hi, I'm James Knott. Today we are talking about 90 Minute Imperial IPA from the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Delaware. It was released in 2001 and has been reviewed more than any other beer on beeradvocate.com.

This imperial IPA, also called double IPA, is 9 percent ABV, 90 IBUs and the brewery recommends drinking it out of a snifter. They suggest that there are flavors like brandied fruitcake, raisin and citrus.

Dogfish Head uses a process called Continual hopping in which they add hops to the boil continuously for 90 minutes -- hence the name.

In 2003, Dogfish Head released two sister beers called 60 & 120 Minute IPA. The 60 & 90 are both year-round releases, while the 120 minute IPA is only brewed three times per year.

Q&A

90 Minute IPA gets a (???) on the BBA Scale. Which do you prefer? 60 -- 90 -- or 120 minute IPA? Let us know in the comment section. Thanks for watching. I'm James Knott and this is your Better Beer Authority."

I'm a huge HUGE ipa/dipa fan but this beer is the most overrated beer ever!! It has generic hop bitterness, I couldn't pick out any clear scents or flavors from the hops at all. Thumbs down from me. And I have tried it twice!

@Toolminion1 Which IPAs do you like?

[TheTechNerdShow]

I love the 90min IPA but my favorite has to be my local Yazoo Sly Rye Porter.

[AgileHProductions]

@TheTechNerdShow Where is that?

[honda217]

dogfish head as a beer that has 12% alc?

[AgileHProductions]

@honda217 120 minute IPA is 18%. I think Palo Santo Marron might be 11%.

I do not always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA

@strangeones4 If I had to guess I'd say DFH uses primarily English hop varieties rather than West Coast in this particular beer. Extremely pungent but not astringently bitter which is what makes this beer so great. Piney/earthy rather than heavy citrus. First time I had it was with a BBQ pulled pork sandwich with slaw on top and beef stew, and was blown away by how great it tasted.

@GetOffMyLawn2012 it is still very subjective... But wow one a lunch time?

[Ballroombreaker1]

This beer is good no doubt.. My favorite though is Anderson Valley Hop Ottin.. It's so florally it's ridiculous, and it's equally as smooth along with a nice ABV.

I absolutely hate every IPA I've ever had, but this is the only one I can drink
