120 Minute IPA (2019)

IPA - Quadruple

Too extreme to be called beer? Brewed to a colossal 45°P, boiled for a full 2 hours while being continually hopped with high alpha American hops, dry-hopped every day in the fermenter for a month, and aged for a month on whole leaf hops, 120 Minute IPA is by far the strongest IPA ever brewed. And at 21% ABV and 120 IBU’s, you can see why we are calling this the Holy Grail for Hopheads.

What a treat, and on tap. It's pretty special. A prepandemic 120. Beautiful day for biking. Sunshine, light breeze, and 67 degrees.

Awesome 120 minute. Super malty, the booze doesn’t punch. Can’t wait to try the other 2 in a few more years!

Next up is the 2019 version. This was a fantastic year for 120 minute. Whether it was the recipe, brewing process, or perhaps the cellar aging, this brew tasted a lot less boozy and a lot more smooth. Also had a nice hop bitterness on the backend.

"What you have here is the holy grail for hopheads." Still have a hard time watching these get old, but it's worth it, this one is like hoppy moonshine, jet fuel has got nothing on this, prost

So much better than the last 120 I had many years ago. This is a hoppy, boozy bomb. Malty too. Nice sipper - not sure if 18% or 21% ABV, but either way a doozy. Why I’m I doing this might before St Patrick’s Day?

#8 from Extreme Beer box. I’m a little disappointed that I got one of these instead of a stout. I pretty much got the box for the stouts, plus I’ve had this before (even the same 2019 vintage.). Oh well, it’s still a really good beer, so c’est la vie.

Candied sugar and booze in the nose. Low carb mouthfeel. Malty sweetness, subtle earthy hops, warming alcohol.

Walked into the beer store and saw the 120 IPA sitting there. Picked up the bottle and to my surprise it was a ‘19’. The flavor! This beer is delicious! WOW!

Does not age perfectly. It is still an IPA, still hoppy and sweet, but notes of acidity, vinegar and bitterness are a bit too harsh. Not my cup of beer.

3 years of aging turned thousands into a beautiful beer. Unique taste of pine and honey. Hardly any hops remaining

Waiting for my Tavour shipment, all I've got left in the fridge is the high octane stuff. Some would view that as a problem, others a challenge. It's all beer. Cheers!

This one has been sitting in our Florida beer cupboard at around 80 degrees for about 3 years. Turned opaque and cloudy an boozy. Molasses and bitter and Cognac spirit.

Aging does mellow the strong hoppy bite as the body is both hoppy and syrupy sweet. The balance helps but the beer is still undeniably all hop and boozy bite. A sipping beer.
