Lagunitas A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Petaluma, California USA

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a fluffy white head that leaves a little bit of lacing. Citrus and floral aroma with some sweet bubblegum mixed it. The flavor is mostly sweet malt and caramel, the bitterness is there but not what I expected from the aroma. Medium body with average carbonation and a creamy mouth feel. This is a good beer but I would classify this more as an American Pale, I’ve had Pales that had more hop flavor and bitterness. Very good and drinkable though.

Bottle. Pours golden, with a moderate foamy white head. Aroma is a nice mix of malt and resiny sweet hops (grapefruit and orange). Flavor is resiny citrus hops (but actual fresh orange flavor, not just the citrus hop bitterness), good deal of malt backing, some yeast spiciness. Excellent: solid IPA (leaning towards double IPA), plus enough different to keep it interesting.

12 fl oz brown bottle. Golden colour, a one finger sized head of white foam on top. Good lacing. Great citrus aroma, orange and grapefruit up front, some sweetness. Some fruitiness in the mouth, juicy, bitter orange, dash of lemon, balanced malt. Dry finish, moderate citrusy hop aftertaste. Medium body with average ammount of carbonation, good drinkability. I may have liked this more than most, but I fell no real need to apoligize for it. Or... did I just... err, I’ll just have another...

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow-golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet malt and pine hops. Fruits, bit of spices and liquorice as well, although fairly faint. A tad cloying. Flavour is sweet malt and pine hops as well. A bit cloying. Finish is hoppy, but not very bitter. Slightly oily palate. Not bad, but I’ve had better. 15-08-09.

Shared a 12 oz. with MereLikesBeer. This stuff is great. Pours a light amber, with small head. The aroma is of hops, with some great orange and grapefruit notes. I love a good citrusy IPA. This actually reminds me alot of my go to, Two Hearted. Really epic stuff. Cheers!

I shared a bottle of this with BeerBaron617, and am disappointed a bit about not having my own bottle..or for that matter, several more bottles. This beer is pretty darn great. It poured a nice clear dark yellow with a thin white head. It’s aroma is very sweet, orange juice with maybe grape juice too. It’s delicious! Taste is really great, oranges immediately, very citrus. Tasty!!!!!!!

12 oz bottle. Pours a very light golden with a moderate white head- some sticky lace and mod carbonation. Aroma is typical of lagunitas these days- tons of dank resinous tropical fruit type hops- mango is pretty dominant with some light wheat hints. Flavor is mango- tropical fruits, orange zest, some mint and pine- very clean some light crackery malts, and a slightly strange slight slick and almost astringent aftertaste. Pretty good overall- just something off about the mouth feel and finish.

12oz bottle-pours a little rich white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is citrus-orange/pineapple, some malt. Taste is citrus-orange/pineapple, sweet caramel grain/malt, some alcohol. Medium body. Soft/OK carbonation. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing this.
