60 Minute IPA

Tap to rate

The flagship of the Dogfish Head portfolio and one of the most influential American IPAs ever brewed — continuously hopped over a full 60-minute boil for a smooth, integrated bitterness that never turns harsh. Grapefruit, citrus, and pine over a clean, light malt base. Endlessly drinkable, deceptively complex.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright grapefruit and orange citrus, layered beneath herbal pine and resinous hop character. A clean, neutral malt foundation allows the hop aromatics to shine without competing aromatic noise. The overall impression is fresh, fruited, and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with grapefruit and orange flavors establishing themselves immediately on the palate. Mid-palate builds with piney hop bitterness and light malt sweetness in balance, creating a smooth integration rather than sharp edges. The 60-minute hopping schedule delivers restrained yet confident bitterness that lingers without harshness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
