Lagunitas Censored (Kronik)

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: American Strong Ale
Petaluma, California USA

Has a chocolaty aroma when you twist off the cap on this stubby 12 oz bottle. Color is that of darker iced tea. Taste is a little on the strong side. Yes it has those copper ale hints but the alky bitter bite just overwehlms this brew. The alky listed here is 5.9% but oin the bottle it is 7.7%. Seems more like the 7.7% in the flavors. most of the ASAs I’ve had have not been to enjoyable. This one is right there with the rest. Decently creamy carbonation. The flavors of this brew are a little too much for my girlie taste buds. Finish is lingering medium mild bitterness that hangs for quite a while on the back of the palate. As good as Legacy Hedonism, Flying Dog Imperial Porter and Great Lakes Nosferatu.

Bottle. Pous a brilliant copper with a small but lasting off-white head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is caramel malt, floral hops, pine hops, and sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a well balanced bitterness. Very good every day beer.

Bottle. Butter caramel, peach, and malt aroma - hint of alcohol. Amber color with a small head. Caramel malt flavor - moderate pine hops with a hint of alcohol. A nice, easy-drinking beer.

Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a small light tan head. Mild malts and some hops are present although nothing is profound in the smell. Maybe a little sweet citrus is present as well. The taste is much livelier, with a profound malty sweetness, with more of a hoppy finish. This beer is very well balanced in its flavor characters and very rich and full on the palate. Just a slight bitterness in the aftertaste which was more sweet.

Thanks to Juancho. Pours into a "copper" color with a medium head. Very well balanced between the malt and the hops, and it hides very well the high alcohol content.

Clear, light copper co;or with a big off-white head. . Strong malt flavor, heavily hopped, well balanced. Long lingering, hoppy aftertaste. The head faded slowly.

On tap at Taco Mac. Pored to a deep amber color with thick off-white head that lasted long and left very good lacing up and down the glass. Pleasant malty aroma blended with a touch of citrusy hops. Mouthfeel was full and tingly, and the taste was a continuation of the malt-hop blend. This all led to a finish that was long and good. This was another very fine offering by Lagunitas.

Citrus hops and some crystal malts in the aroma. I’m ready for this one. Pours a light amber. Sweet caramel malts, with spicy hops, northwestern hop flavor.
