I finally got to try Dogfish Head’s 120 Minute IPA.  It was good, But was disappointed by all the hype.

It poured a tawny red with a slight head that disapated in seconds,

Strong malt overwhelmed dries fruits, burnt sugar,  citrus, slight grass and alcohol aromas.

Kaboom! What a huge flavor for a lil 12oz beer: sweet malts, grapefruit, burnt sugar, grass and alcohol.  Each sip revealed new flavors!  I purchased a few bottles, and plan to shelve them for later dates, to let the flavors mellow and become more complex.

For being a beer that is supposed to be for Hopheads, I was disappointed.  The sweet maltyness overwhelmed the hops,  I perfer more bitterness to balance the beer some more.

I’ll look forward to trying again in 6 months or so.
