HOPIQ TAKE

90 Minute IPA if you want a hop showcase that doesn't punch you in the face, Overdose if you want aggressive bitterness with more muscle. Both clock in at nearly identical ABV, but those 10 IBU points matter here—Dogfish's continuous-hopping process smooths things out into something almost drinkable multiple times in a row, while Opperbacco's unapologetic bite lingers. Pick based on whether you're settling in for a session or making a statement.

TASTING NOTES

90 Minute IPA

HoppyCitrusyResinous

90 Minute is deceptively smooth for a 9% Imperial IPA. The continuous hopping creates this weird magic where bitterness feels diffused rather than sharp—citrus and pine come through clean without that harsh metallic edge you'd expect. It's got body, yeah, but it drinks lighter than the ABV suggests. The finish is almost creamy, which honestly caught me off guard the first time.

Overdose

HoppyBitterBoozy

Overdose hits differently. This one's got a resinous, almost herbal bitterness that sits on your tongue and doesn't apologize. You taste the 90 IBU immediately and feel it linger. There's pine and grapefruit underneath, but they're secondary to that assertive bitterness. It's heavier in the mouth too—denser, more substantial. This is a beer you're actively drinking, not just consuming.
