I just had my first Dogfish Head 60 Min IPA wow imported beers are expensive $6.75 CAD very very tasty though

[RommelMagic]

Yes, a great beer indeed. I actually haven't had one in a while. It's kinda different to hear it called an import. A guy in my club goes to the original Rehoboth, DE place about every month as he travels for work. He says they've had beers there that aren't distributed. One he said was horrible. I forget what it was. OK, I'm rambling.

My notes say i loved the 90min IPA better,the 60min IPA was good though.I hope to someday try the 75min/120min IPA's they make.

Yah at the brew pub, that have the small 5 barrel "experimental" batches to test out new recipes. Some really good, and some not so much. The last one I had was Arms Akimbo or something, had a licorice flavour I did not care for. I'm going tonight for brew club, hopefully it will be a good one.

I really like the 60 and 90 minute IPA's. The 120 is cloyingly sweet. Sure, it's heavily hopped, but I personally did not enjoy it because of the excessive sweetness.

DFH isn't cheap anywhere. Of the 'minute' series I like the 90 the best. If you can find it I'd highly recommend picking up a bottle. The 120 minute and World Wide Stout IMO aren't anything to get excited over despite their high price tag even here in the US.

These are beers that really need to be laid down though. I had a WWS at the night before night before dinner DFH puts on here locally, (Sam is from western MA) so he comes home for the holidays and parties pretty good. He broke out some 3 year old WWS and it was moons better than the bottles I have had from the packy. The 120 can definitely seem cloying, I usually split a bottle with a buddy and drink it as if it were a sherry in a snifter and slow. Forget it is even a triple IPA or even beer, and it is quite enjoyable- plenty of citrus as it warms. Now the palo santo maron, that is a whole different level of amazing. And dont get me started on the Fort...

I have yet to have 60 min or 90 min...I guess it's sort of a fight I am putting up for the price...Why should I spend 9.99/6 pk or 15/4 pk when there are so many other GREAT IPAs at 6.99-7.99/pkOne day I will splurge and start out with the 90 min...but until then I will support other breweries who make just as good of beer at a better price.

I can see those two improving vastly with age. I might have to add them to my commercial beers to age collection. I find the WWS to be overly alcoholic tasting and the 120 min to be very cloying.I'd agree with Palo Santo and Fort being in a different category all together. Those are great beers and really show how far the envelope can be pushed. My wife in particular will get in 'the line' for the DFH booth at GABF over and over and over to try all the oddities DFH brings to the table.

WOW $9.99 I payed $6.75 CAD per bottle

WOW $9.99 I payed $6.75 CAD per bottle

hahaha....well at least I don't have to pay $6.5/bottle for LaBattIs this inline with other US imported microbrews?

I have had 120 aged for over 5 years. (My wife bought me 6 bottles - I drank one a year). I never noticed it getting better with age - but then I never really liked it to begin with. The DFH 90 is superb. I'll buy a single bottle once in awhile, but it is too pricey to drink often. We have a great beer store here that will sell everything by the bottle and has the best selection I have ever seen. Something I would never buy is much more digestable when you're only shelling out a couple of bucks to try it.

Add my vote to the 90 min tally. Really in a class of it's own.

75 is nice I've had it on cask a couple times. I used to like the 90 but find it too cloying in bottle nowadays, the draft is still fine though.

Getting beer to Canada from the US is a GIANT pain in the ass.It is also expensive.You Canucks should get on your gubbermint to make it easier for us to get our beer to the Great White North.MolBasser
