    Damn dude, that is some shit. 18%
    alcohol and a whole lot of flavor. It's crazy. I just snagged a 4 pack when I was down there. They say it ages really well so I am going to drink 3 and save one for a while, if that's possible

    90 Minute is great. 120 is good, but an entirely different beast. Very sweet and obviously the alcohol hits hard.

    Thanks for the info. Good for you that your wife drinks beer. Mine does not. :cry: I'll still try to grab a bottle if I can.

    I was very underwhelmed by it. Here's my review:

    http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10099/67219/?ba=adam42381

    Appearance 4.5/5: Pours a clear medium amber color with orange highlights and a fluffy 3 finger off-white head. Excellent head retention and nice lacing.

    Smell 3.5/5: Lemon is the dominant aroma but there are hints of pine, bready grains and malt in the background.

    Taste 3/5: Lemon zest and bready malt up front followed by piney hops in the middle before finishing with a blast of bitter lemon peel. Aftertaste is bitter with a touch of maltiness. The malt presence is more than I expected from a DIPA brewed with lemons. The 10% ABV is well-masked.

    Mouthfeel 2/5: Light-to-medium-bodied with a fairly low amount of carbonation. This is much lighter and thinner than I would have liked.

    Drinkability 3/5: Average drinkability. This isn't something I'm going to savor to the last drop. The alcohol is well-hidden so it could sneak up on you if you decide to finish the whole 750ml bottle by yourself (I'm splitting the bottle 60/40 with the wife this evening).

    Overall 3.1/5: Average beer overall. I had high hopes for this beer and those hopes were heightened when I saw how beautifully it poured. Unfortunately, things went down hill from there. The smell was slightly above average and the taste was nothing more than average. Pair that with a below average body for a DIPA and you get what I consider to be an average beer at best. Dogfish Head is one of my favorite breweries and this is one of the few times that they've not met or exceeded my expectations.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    My wife didn't really like beer until about a year or so ago. I've been into craft beer for about 6 years and I always had her try a sip of whatever I was drinking. Typically she didn't like any of them. She would drink the occasional light beer or Blue Moon, but she didn't like anything I was drinking. I finally had her try Chimay Blue and she loved it. Since then, she's been expanding her palate and she really enjoys beer. She still doesn't care for stouts or double IPAs, but she likes or at least tolerates most other styles at this point.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    My wife is running a half marathon on Sunday in St. Pete so we're heading up there tomorrow morning. We'll be stopping at a great little spot called Peg's Cantina in Gulfport. It's one of my favorite places and they brew some fantastic beers.

    We'll also be making our quarterly - give or take - trip to Cigar City Brewing in Tampa. Probably my favorite brewery anywhere and they have a great tasting room.

    Adam, how do I get Cigar City up here? They don't sell it anywhere around me and all I read about on BA is people love it.

    My local Total Wine store gets pretty much everything they bottle except for their brewery only releases.Their regular lineup is currently only available in a few southern states and I think the Philly area. On BeerAdvocate there's always a lot of Cigar City trading going on. I don't do any trading myself as the shipping costs are quite high and packaging can be a pain. As you may be aware, it's illegal to ship beer, but it's definitely done quite frequently.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Damn. Yeah, I don't like doing the trading/shipping thing either. I gotta taste that Cigar City lineup. I haven't been down to Tampa/Ybor City in like 3 years and didn't get it when I had the chance.

    We are slowly getting cigar city in the Atlanta area. I've had their IPA and their "Maduro" a brown.

    Both were great examples of their respective styles.

    Fishfinder just says where it's been delivered. I highly doubt there is any 120 minute left on shelves.
