Jun 27, 2009 22oz bottle. A really nice IPA, once I got past the typical Lagunitas thin body and really filtered texture. Dark gold color with a lasting white head. Lots of fruity hops in the aroma, with peach, grapefruit, mango, and some pine resin. The flavor has a lot of the same fruity hops with a dry, toasty malt flavor and medium bitterness. Really drinkable stuff, and a much better hop profile than their regular IPA. Lagunitas is so close to making a lot of great beers, but they always have some minor drawbacks.

Jun 26, 2009 Tap @ Map Room. Pours golden orange with white head. Awesome aroma of citrus and pine. Citrus hops dominate the flavor, very well done.

Jun 25, 2009 Might need to qualify this rating and re-rate later, because I had this on a 95 degree and very humid evening while sitting outside just sweating. Anyway, it was refreshing as hell and tasted oh so good. Pours a slightly amber clear orange with thick off-white head. Aroma strong of citrus hops, mostly grapefruit, pine, and ever so slight malt. Flavor matches well, very clean, medium bodied and easy to drink. Wonderful for those hot days.

Jun 23, 2009 Tap at Bistro. Aroma is plant-like and very chlorofilled. Taste is tart like unripe green grape peels. Hops are shallow and tart like the regular IPA. Way forgettable.

Jun 23, 2009 Golden brown topped by a medium sized white head. Citric hop aroma with some underlying pine and tropical fruit notes. Moderate bitterness balanced by some biscuit-like malts. Not as much ’juicy’ hop flavor as the aroma suggests. Body is a little on the thin side.

Jun 23, 2009 Draft at Map Room. Pours a nice golden orange with a creamy head. Nose is nice and citrusy some pine. On taste, much the same. Very hop forward and robust. Again, lots of citrus and pine notes, finish is quite dry. Very clean and tasty. Very nice.

Jun 21, 2009 Drank it at Ramenen’s beer festival. Definitely Lagunitas makes my kind of brews. The best of the afternoon! Pours a beautiful orange/golden color. Light bodied, fresh mouthfeel. Nice maltiness well balanced my the perfect usage of hops. Crisp, clean an a great long finish.
