| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Tap at Rattle n Hum: Slight haze to the effervescent golden pour topped by a white film of head. Fresh aroma- straight forward cascade/centennial herbaceousness with mild pale malt undertones. A bit prickly in carbonation (I’d prefer less CO2) Decent flavor- it does have a touch of saccharine like suggestions in it’s sweetness with a citric hop character. Some perfumy orange notes and a mild cookie malt background. Not bad. kassner (468), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Bottle from 3 Sons. Very fragrant hops, golden cloudy color, not much head or hops but fragrance and taste were great, with a hint of Belgian Bockyhorsey (2552), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Goof earthly pine and floral notes on the nose. Orange body with thin white head. Good grapefruit flavor with some sticky cirtus resin lingering on palate. Cool and crisp on palate. Good refreshing brew. TomDecapolis (3203), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Tap at Goodnight Irene’s in Wildwood NJ. Pours a lightly hazy golden with a medium creamy white head that laced. Aroma of American hops...great floral, orange, light grapfruit notes and lemon coming through. Malt sweetness with a touch of caramel and Cheerios is there in the nose. Flavor of the same fresh American hops. Orange, floral and very light pine. Wheat and cereal grains
coming through on the malt side. Hop flavor is strong...bitterness is there but nit overpowering at all. Braudog (3773), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Bottle. Poured golden-orange with a thin but standing head of solid foam. The aroma is of fresh-cut citrus, floral and sweet. It drinks with a distinct American hoppiness, but seems based in a light American wheat underneath. This is 7.3%!? Holy cow. That’s kinda dangerous in such a "light" (in body) beer -- nice summer alternative for the uber-hopheads who don’t want to down an IIPA on the beach.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 13, 2009 bottle- wow- another one from laguinitas that does not disappoint- very similar in profile to the hop stoopid- great pine, mango, tangerine citrus flavors overwhelm, balanced by a nice substantial malt body- extremely drinkable.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 12, 2009 Bitter like an IPA should be: full of nice piney, grapefruity and aspirin notes. Sweet like a MW IPA - sweeter than your usual. Pours copper with thin head. Finish is sweet. Pwn3d (1088), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 12, 2009 Draft pint @ RnH.Pours a hazed, orange-gold with off-white head atop. wheat, citrus and pine hops blended together to make one hell of a nose. wheat flavors with fresh hop taste of flowers, citrus fruits and pine. Medium-bodied. Best consumed slowly as a sipper. My favorite laguinitas by far.
