Whenever Dogfish Head President Sam Calagione and his neighborhood friends gather for drinks, they give each other a big ol' man-hug and order a round of 60 Minute IPA. A few years ago, Sam also ordered a glass of his favorite red wine and poured a little into each pint of 60 Minute. They all dug the combination of fruity complexity and pungent hoppiness, and the blend became a beloved tradition.
Sixty One captures that tradition in a bottle and marries two Dogfish Head innovations: beer/wine hybrids -- which Dogfish has focused on for well over a decade with beers like Midas Touch and Raison D'être -- and continually hopped IPAs.
The name Sixty One is a reminder that this beer is Dogfish Head’s best-selling 60 Minute IPA plus one new ingredient: syrah grape must from California. The label, painted by Sam, is a twist on a typical watercolor. Rather than using water, Sam mixed the green pigment with beer and the red pigment with wine. And because Sixty-One pairs so well with chocolate, he painted the browns on the label with melted chocolate.
Sixty One debuted in March 2013.

Pinkish orange pour from bottle. Winey notes obviously. Interesting blend of grapes and classic ipa

Odd, a marriage of IPA bitterness with vinous acidity in dire need of harmony, offering up grape and citrus and wort, leading to a mild, wine-tinted, buttery finish. Just doesn’t work, but at least it’s pretty.

On tap at Kings Beer & Wine. Reddish with a small head. Aroma and taste of hops, grapes and some malt. On the light side.

Pours a clear pinkish with a pink/white head. Little carbonation, thin head. Aroma of wine must. Tastes like an IPA with a nice smokey hop flavor. Palate includes grapes and resin. Novel.

Draft. A- Berry. A- Ruby color, clear liquid, pink head. T- Caramel, berry, mild tannic acid. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly astringent finish. O- Okay. Not really fruit beer or IPA. It's more like a cheap wine in my opinion. Meh.
