Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA - USA (ABV 9%)

This is one terrific beer, a smooth Imperial IPA with a terrific malt base supporting a generous, without being overpowering, hoppy flavour. Brewed in Milton, Delaware the "90minute" refers to the boil time of the wort in which the hops (Amarillo, Simcoe &Warrior) are continuously added. The beer is also dry hopped following this process.

It pours a golden amber colour and has a fantastic hop aroma, I got citrus with some grassiness. It is wonderfully smooth on the palate and the malt backbone wonderfully balances this beer. It is not overly bitter or overly hoppy but the flavour does linger.

I love IPA's and found this USA brewed Imperial IPA  a superb example of the kind of beer I love.
