30 Minute Light IPA is the new "little sibling" to Dogfish Head's 60 Minute, 90 Minute and 120 Minute IPAs, and it offers a less bitter, more aromatic experience for easier drinking. Described as crisp and crushable with a fruity, balanced hop profile, 30 Minute Light IPA is continually hopped for 30 minutes to achieve its tropical aroma with notes of pineapple, coconut, mango and citrus.
Many of those who began Dry January faltered by Quitter's Day, and this light new option is an enticing choice for those who are re-examining their relationship with alcohol—after all, the 30 Minute Light IPA contains just 95 calories and zero grams of fat per 12-ounce serving, and comes in at 4% ABV.
