Back in the 90’s, Sam was struck by a cooking show demo teaching viewers how to properly season soup through a process of continuous peppering. As it stewed and simmered, the chef added pepper in small but consistent doses, bringing through a unique bold taste and intense savory notes. If it worked for soup, why not beer?! Inspiration sparked and Sam knew that Dogfish needed to bring this idea of continuous dosing to our hop additions in the brewhouse.
Enter our thrift store electric football game. If rigged at just the right angle over the brew kettle, and covered with hops instead of small dancing football players, the vibrating playing field would perfectly shake and shimmy the hops cascading down into the boiling wort at a consistent rate. Continual hopping was born!
Continual hopping provided a beautiful balance to our Imperial IPA - allowing us to add a foolhardy amount of hops throughout the boil without making 90 Minute crushingly bitter. With rich pine and fruity citrus hop aromas and a strong malt backbone, 90 Minute IPA created pungent, unapologetic flavor that led Esquire to call it “perhaps the best IPA in America.”

12 February 2022. At Winter Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks for hosting, Tim, and cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy bright orange, stable, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of rye bread, fresh granola out of the oven, peanut, biscuit, orange peel, mango, honey, pine needle, vague sweat, yeast. Taste has sweet mango, orange & pineapple as well as bittersweet citrus peel in a very strong malt body of biscuit, hard caramel, peanut and rye bread, with yeasty effect. Dry, bitter, piney and resinous hoppy finish, lingering citrus peel, unripe mango and sweet biscuity maltiness; fairly hidden gin-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. As 'classic' as it comes, amazing!

Rocky off white head stayed on a deep amber hazy unclear body. Pine, syrup, malt & resinous aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth & soft with a dry clean back. Malt, jam, syrup & caramel tastes with an incredibly bitter tangy overly hopped finish. Outstanding
Thursday night cuvée with the OG Dogfish Head 90 Minute and the Veil's Freaky Friday rendition! Reminiscent of trips on the Amtrak to Baltimore or DC. Lots of nostalgia, and a fantastic coming together. Malty, sweet, and hoppy. Taste like 2015.

Brewery tick. Sort of expected a bw but guess that's just the 120. Copper, clear, a bit of coarse white head. Nose is caramel. Sweet, malty, bitter, lots of caramel, some baked stone fruit, some booze. Did not disappoint, very nice.

355ml bottle. Opalescent, dark orangey, golden to amber colour wiht average, thick, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Piney, resinous, and citrusy fruity, hoppy, aroma, notes of pineapple with a minimal touch of white jelly bears, some lemon and grapefruit, pale and caramel malty background, a touch of almond. Taste is sweet-ish, pale and caramel malty, fruity and citrusy, minimally piney and grassy hoppy, hoppy notes take some time to slowly build up to full shape via melon and the addition of lemon, orange, mandarine, grapefruit, pineapple, a touch of strawberry, lychee, to finally cultivate a plethora of fruitiness; quite some hop bitterness appears in the finish as the fruity flavous slowly fade out; a minimally warming, alcoholic touch in the finish can't be denied. Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Flattering sweetness, displays a wide spectrum of fruity (and resinous) hop flavours. Ultimately addictive, my glass is empty before I was able to capture the full complexity of this beer - tremendous.

Deep amber with a frothy, white head. The aroma is dank pine with pear juice, butterscotch and light citrus notes underneath. Taste is bittersweet up front with the malty sweetness very nicely balancing the hops. Bitter the rest of the way. Finishes with a modest warmth. Full bodied. Nice!
