60 Minute IPA - Dogfish Head Craft Brewery - Milton, DE

60 Minute IPA Stats

ABV: 6.0%
IBUs: 60
fl. oz.: 12

Now here is a nice tasting IPA from Dogfish Head. My previous sampling of Dogfish left me unimpressed, but this one is quality.

I did a little research and found that the beer's name refers to the process by which hops are continually added to the wort for 60 minutes during the brewing process. My research did not take me so far as to bother learning what wort is. Maybe next time.

At any rate, I give it an A- for its nice hoppiness; I guess that's the best word I can use to describe the 60 Minute IPA: it's just a really nice beer. You know, the kind of beer you bring home to meet Mom and Dad and sister Alice, and even Grandma if she's around.

Raison D'Etre - Dogfish Head Craft Brewery - Milton, DE

Raison D'Etre Stats
Alcohol by volume: 8%
Fluid ounces: 12
Number I could drink before becoming a social embarrassment: 3
If I were civilized, I would drink this with: T-bone steak
What I actually drank this with: Leftover cheesecake

Fact: Raison D'Etre is a French phrase which means "reason for being". While, to me, this beer is not my reason for being, it's not a bad little brew. It's a Belgian-style ale brewed by Dogfish Head, and according to the bottle, I should be tasting beet sugars and raisins. Well, my palette must not be sophisticated enough, because I tasted beer.

I'll give it an A-, because it was nice to drink, but it gave me a headache, because its fruity flavor encouraged me to drink it too fast.
