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.

#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.

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?

"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

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.

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

Both have a nice burn to them, but very differently. Boozy, malty, hoppy. The beer, not the salsa. #DEDM Day 15

Wow! From Aug. 2019, poured thick and looked like an apple cider. Not sure how to describe, reminds me of a Barleywine, interesting.

Bottled 09/13/19. Maybe needed to age more. A little bit more alcohol burn than some other vintages.

(Extreme Beer Box) Citrus and caramel. Some dark fruit. Moderate bitter finish. The 17’ is surprisingly similar. Bitterness turning to astringency. The 16’ is almost a completely different beer. Sweet. Brown sugar and dried fruit. Moderately astringent

I think the 2019 batch might be one of the punchier batches. Despite being 4 years old, it still has a bite but I do love finding vintage 120 minutes.
