Lagunitas Censored (Kronik)

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

Reddish, copper color. Smell of malt, earth, honey, caramel and brown sugar. Taste of malt, sugar, caramel, leafs, flowers and minor hops. Thanks brewblackhole.

Sugary sweet malt and flowery hop in aroma, taste is like sucker sugar poured into wort that fades into a cherry sucker aftertaste and some hop bitterness in the finish,kind of confusing,not sure what the brewer was going for, its tolerable

Bottle from jake65 - thanks! Stone-ish combination of hops and malt in the nose - emphasis on the sticky hops. Pours copper-amber with a lacing eggshell head. Very bitter taste, light grass and bread notes with prominent caramel. Touches of sweet flashing around, but, on the whole, rather dry. Body is medium-full and hoppy/dry. Dark, eathy, nutty finish. Straightforward, well-made, and enjoyable.

Censored? I’m not sure what a copper ale is supposed to taste like but the hops and malts seem to battle each other from start to finish in this one. Not sure about this one.

Tasty! Pours a deep copper with a small creamy head. Malt and sweet in the aroma. Not especially heacvy on the palate, but well balanced. A lot of flavor. Some sweetness for sure (brown sugar, caramel?). Big malt. Finishes fairly smooth for the high alcohol content.

Pours copper with small to med. head. Nice malty ASA with average hop kick. Well balanced with medium body and citrus finish. A good beer

Re sampled 2/4/2009; A little stale and chewy but rounded out well with a good compliment of hops. although a little soapy. Big caramel sweetness.

Draft at Jerry’s. Copper indeed with good, foamy white head / Malt, hop and citrus nose / Medium, malty body, somewhat sweet, with chewy, hoppy finish / Forward sour malt and caramel flavors with undertones of orange peel and lemon and candied sugar finish / Better classified as an amber ale. Great balance - substantial while light and refreshing.
