I'm obviously not the first person to be posting about dogfish head IPA, but I went to the liqour store today (my girlfriend felt like Mike's hard ice tea, which they didn't have) and was thrilled to find that they now have dogfish head beer.
They don't have very many of them, so my choices were between the 90 minute IPA and the 60 minute IPA (since I've had most of the others and no 120 minute was available). Well I went with the 90 minute, and I'm drinking it now, and its simply wonderful.
The alcohol content is absolubtly perfectly balanced at 9% and the carbonation is sweet and mild enough to actually let you taste the beer. Its pretty hoppy (duh) and I probably wouldn't drink it every day (even if I could spend $9 per four pack every day), but just to sit down and enjoy a beer, and maybe a nice cigar (which reminds me I need to check on my humidor) its really a wonderful change of pace from the over carbonated relatively flavorless beers that flood the market. As with all dogfish head I've had, I highly reccomend it if you happen upon the opporitunity.
