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 a 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 18% ABV and 120 IBU’s, you can see why they call this the Holy Grail for Hopheads.

The Pour - Pours a cloudy copper color with a tan head that vanishes. Good lacing.

Taste - Wow! Very sweet, dark fruits same as the nose.
Mouth Feel - Low carbonation, syrupy. Full bodied and a some alcohol burn.
