| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2009 Bottle - Clear, light amber pour with a small white head. It’s potent on the nose, with a lovely blend of pine hops, citrus, and some honey. There’s lots of hops flavor--big surprise, I know--with with a decent amount of malt to back it up. Love the citrus hop flavor. It’s medium-bodied and pretty dry, just a nice overall brew. I tend to overlook Lagunitas sometimes because they’re so cheap...is that messed up or what? I need to sample more of their stuff. JaBier (1294), Capital City, Ohio, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 7, 2009 Sampled as a bonus beer at the Sierra Nevada tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 7/2/09. Clear copper pour with a big off-white head. Aroma is a ton of grapefruity hops and a bit of sweet malt. Hop flavor is grapefruity and spicy with a nice malt balance. Pretty straightforward, but I’m not complaining. Lagunitas continues to impress. gsmitty80 (653), Washington DC, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jul 7, 2009 I was very suprised by the bitterness and cask barrel taste that i got from this beer. Very milky ipa with a hop kick but with alot of premature flavors. tomhenderson (129), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 7, 2009 12 oz bottle from Mike. Wow, what a hop bomb. Aroma and flavor are similar with an amazing amount of pine and grapefruity hops, yet supported by enough bready malt to keep it interesting. Too bad it’s a seasonal cuz I’d like to enjoy this year ’round!

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2009 draft @ redlight redlight. Nice citrusy nose, a lot of tangerine on the nose. Pours blonde with a solid white head. Solid hop flavors, citrus with a sticky pine in the end, light and refreshing. Man these guys do hoppy so well! hellbilly (1566), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 6, 2009 hazy golden colored pour with a soapy white head and ladder-like rings of lace.
the aroma and flavor are a bit sweet and pretty much simply described as ’lagunitas’. citrus pine and grass mix with some pale malt and spice. it might be sad to be able to pigeonhole a brewery like that if the final product wasn’t so damn tasty!
medium bodied, crisp, clean and refreshing. 8/3/7/4/16/3.8 BeerandBlues2 (3237), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

Aroma is average malt (bread, cereal), heavy hops (citrus, pine, grass), average yeast (earth, sweat) with notes of orange peel. Medium bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.
