May 26, 2009 Canals in Lawrenceville comes through again. Bomber. Initially hazy mahogany pour that settles beneath a medium dusky tan head. Sweet and somewhat piney aroma. Flavors of toffee, milk chocolate, grapefruit, vanilla and light caramel. Silky texture and a predominantly malty finish with a bitter kick of hops enticing you into another sip. Yet another label of lunacy from the comic marketing geniuses at Lagunitas but this goofball label is wrapped around a really well-crafted beer.

May 26, 2009 Updated: May 30, 200922oz bomber. Hazy orange-amber color, soapy head. Aroma is IIPA-like and hoppy, with a caramel edge. The taste is all out APA, with some bonus Amarillo, I’d presume, hop dosings. Quite excellent, capture that earthy, biscuity essence of the APA and tweaks it up a notch. Great balance. Top notch. Even better on tap, where I thought it’s body was even fuller.

May 26, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of big tropical fruit hops with rich, caramel malt, both toasted and juicy-sweet. Flavor again very tropical, maybe peachy, semi-resinous, with a continued rich malt presence, more toffee now, maybe a slight herbal presence coming from somewhere as well. Nice, better-than-solid stuff (which could easily be called an IPA).

May 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with a small white head. Aroma of resiny hops, citrus, banana, and grassy hops. Yum-o! Flavor is initially bitter, resiny hops with a sweet fruity and slightly malty finish. Very similar to Hop Stoopid in flavor profile from my recollection. Super tasty!

May 26, 2009 Bright clear coppery red with a bit of white head. Aroma is beautifully hoppy with tangerine notes. Taste is also tangerine with a bit of fruit punch. Very nicely carbonated, right up front, and it doesn’t overwhelm the palate. $4/22oz

Very nice nose. Hoppy sweet grapefruit aroms. Tastes like it smells, is a bit bitter and metallic in the dry finish. More of an IPA.

May 26, 2009 22 oz bottle. Light amber color with a strong, fluffy white head. Sweet hoppy IPA nose. Taste is not nearly as sweet as on the nose. Sharp and bitter is first impression. Yeasty. More sweetness jumps out as my mouth grew accustomed to the brew, and as the glass emptied/brew warmed. Very drinkable.

May 26, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a light golden amber with a light off tan wispy head. Heavy hop nose with a slightly sweet smell. Medium body. Good hop taste not overpowering, a good balance with the malt flavor.
