Commercial Description:
This hoppy sweet amber was the original ale brewed at the first Lagunitas brewery in West Marin. The original, actually, was a fair example of 'Odious Ale-ism'. Sometimes it was wonderful, sometimes it took the enamel off your teeth. Well, we are better brewers now, and it has become a tasty Cal State Fair award winner!

A hazy pale amber beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is lightly grassy, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as hints of grass and fruit, and with prunes in the aftertaste. I had expected more.

Draught at Alioto’s, San Francisco (as Alioto’s Private Ale). Amber colour, clear, small head. Perfumy and lightly roasty. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Medium bitterness. A drinkable and well balanced beer, perhaps with overly simple malt character.

Cloudy mahogany body with small beige head. Aroma is sweet – cherry, chocolate, and caramel. Taste is moderately sweet up front, mostly chocolate but also cherry. Floral and earthy hops kick in around mid-taste, lasting throughout the swallow. Interestingly, even at the end, the chocolate is definitely present. Medium-bodied.
