60,75,90,120 min ipa's are all really malty


I don't think the 60 is very malty. 90 is malty, and at 9%, it's kind of hard not to be. Don't remember 75 minute being too malty. I haven't had it in a while, and am still wanting to try 120 minute.

Also, I really like Lagunitas beers. They brew fine beers. I like the IPA, Hop Stoopid, Little sumpin sumpin, Pils, Night Time, and Lagunitas Sucks! is probably one of my favorite IPA's.

I've read their book. They didn't start turning real profits until mid-late 2000's. The story is really fascinating, and scary if you are looking to start your own business. However, they started in the early-mid 90's when craft brew was not highly sought after. Stories about jumping from bank to bank once their credit limit was maxed out. Owning 20 credit cards and every month transferring over to the one with a lower interest rate. Then the stories of the undercover sting, and the raids, and the government idiots trying to over regulate them. It's a good read.

Not like the others, but for the style I think it is.

There are a lot of DIPAs near or above 9% that are still very aromatic, relatively light-bodied, that aren't malty.

Blend of 60 and 90 with maple syrup added. I found it cloyingly sweet.

Hard to even call that one an IPA, so malty and boozy.
