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.

This is a little odd, but still good. The grape must is different, adds some interesting flavor to the yeast. Pours maroon with decent head. Finishes bitter but not as bitter as the 60-minute. Tap at Rehoboth brewpub.

Into a taster showing cranberry juice red. The nose shows a lot of random sweet wine (this could be red or white). The palate is full bodied and well carbonated rounded with a red wine bitterness at the end more so than an IPA bitterness. Wine fruit flavors show throughout with a lightly tannic texture. A strange combo but still approachable.

35.5 cl bottle @ hotel room, San Diego. Aroma is fruity with passionfruit, peach and toffee. Flavour has peaches, some cereal and minerals. Easy-going but nothing special. And where are the hops?

On tap at the brewpub. It’s a clear amber colored beer with a small beige head. It’s rather malty on the nose, with pale malts, caramel, bread and a good hoppy touch. Full body and a soft carbonation. Dry. Bread, caramel, pine cones, resins and some citrus peel in the flavor, lasting for a good while. A bit malty for my linings, but sure nice. 150621
