Name: 75 Minute IPA
Style: I.P.A.
Brewery: Dogfish Head Brewery website
Country:USA
Region: Milton, Delaware
ABV: 7.5% abv
How served: 750ml capped bottle poured into a Dogfish Head snifter.
My Overall Opinion: Very Good 
I paired this beer with: Hot chicken wings grilled with the “extra hot” sauce for dipping.
Tasted on: Wednesday February 27, 2013
Notes: A bottle conditioned India Pale Ale with Maple Syrup.
This beer poured a hazy golden amber color with a 2 finger off white head which left a thin lacing on the glass.
The nose was very pleasant with strong piney & citrus notes upfront with some mild caramel sweetness poking through.
The taste kicks off with a very pleasant yet intense grapefruit and piney notes which then transitions to sweeter tropical fruits and a mild caramel/ bready sweetness to balance this beer out, which kept the bitterness level from going over the top I only picked up a hint of the maple syrup. There was some mild warmth in the finish from the alcohol and this beer ended on the dry side.
This beer had a medium slick body and excellent carbonation level.
Overall the drinkability was fantastic and paired very well with my “extra” hot sauce as the hops helped intensify the heat I love, yet there was enough balance with the malts & maple syrup to “cool” things down. I’m looking forward to having this beer again as I’m now a fan of this brew!
