Dogfish Head is an East Coast brewery that is hard to avoid these days. Features in the New Yorker and on the Discovery Channel speak to the effectiveness of the marketing department. With a reputation of hoppy beers, I had to jump in and try for myself.
The 60 Minute IPA is copper in color, lighter in color than many IPAs. The aroma is a little underwhelming - no big floral Cascade nose. Its a little fruity in the aroma with a touch of malty sweetness.
Don't let the nose fool you - the hops are there. A combination of Warrior, Amarillo and a "mystery" hop give it a bitter start and a dry finish. There's enough malt body to offer a hint of balance, but this beer is about the hops. As a devout hop head, that's just what I like.
