Dread Pirate Robert Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) I tried Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA for the first time this past weekend, and I have to say: f***ing WOW. This ale is without question the best IPA I have ever tried. It simply rocks. A Truly Outstanding Beer. Try it, the first chance you get. But be careful. The sweet light taste is dangerously deceptive. At 9% alcohol, one could easily get into trouble drinking this delicious beer.

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Unbelievably, I've yet to try this one, even though it's a benchmark IPA. I think the exhorbitant price has scared me off each time. Maybe the next time I go shopping I'll take the plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out of state this weekend and tried some new beers that I can't find in my area at a bar with a good selection. Tried several good beers that were new to me. This was my favorite. I was tempted to just stick with this one, it was so good, but my mission was to try as many new ones as I could (within reason without getting totally shitfaced -- and that is hard to do when one is drinking high gravity ales. I must confess that I got pretty shitfaced in the end anyway.) Edited June 27, 2006 by Drunk Pirate Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it is DEFINITELY worth 10 bucks for a four pack. Hey, do the math. At 9% alcohol, that is a lot of bang for the money. Btw . . at this bar, there was one beer on the menu for SIXTY DOLLARS for a single large bottle. Don't remember what it was, something I've never heard of, something foreign, french or belgian, something like that. I like trying new beers, but that was ridiculous. Didn't try that one. The bartendress said they had never actually sold one of those, so far. Edited June 27, 2006 by Drunk Pirate Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_Once Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Just had this beverage. Great tasting IPA with all the flavors blending nicely. Very drinkable for a 9%abv. $9.50 for a four pack from Whole Foods. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
