Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Hoppy Goodness
Simply put, Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA is one of my favorite examples of the American IPA style. The hop
bill is a classic US style mix of citrus, earthy, and floral hops. To add to the greatness of the beer
and provide an interesting mix of bitter,aroma, and flavor hop characteristics, Dogfish head uses a
device that continually adds small amounts of hops over short intervals to the boil. At home you can either
attempt to make one of these things or, better yet, just stand there a pitch a few hops in every so often.
Malt is not particularly prominent in this beer, but is not completely lost or overwhelmed by the hops either.
The Thomas Fawcett amber malt adds just a bit of interest.

Notes
*Continuous Hopping - Dogfish Head uses a device to slowly add a measured amount of hops over time
into the boil rather than adding the whole addition at once. This is a good brew to have a buddy handy
to toss in the hops, pre-measured in their own dish, throughout the boil. It is a good technique and the
commercial example of this beer is one of my very favorite IPAs.
