Lagunitas Dogtown Pale Ale

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

aroma is sour wheat, sawdust and slighly acid. appears amber, small white head, flavor is "homebrew" like. sawdust, slight fruity notes (peach or apricot), kinda blanced mid, but strong hops.

Pours a golden amber color with a lingering off-white froth. Aroma is very strong hops consisting of pine. pineapple and citrus. Some definite sweet caramel malts in there as well. Flavor starts out very sweet and mildly hoppy. The hops then become much stronger and more bitter as they overwhelm that pineapple juice sweetness that started. Finishes with a nice hop oil flavor that just sits on the tongue for awhile. Medium-full body and average carbonation. This beer was like Sierra Nevada but malltier and better balanced. I was very surprised about this beer, excellent stuff.

12oz bottle. Filtered golden-orange color with a nice frothy head. Sweet piny aroma. Spicy, earthy hop notes, with a somewhat watery malt base. Lemony finish, certainly a healthy hop bill. I don’t find the taste of this beer particularly pleasing. Sub par for Lagunitas.

12 oz bottle pours deep golden almost orange in color with a rocky head. Great citrus aroma (love the simcoe). Slightly sweet body with a light bitterness that is grassy. Nice middle of the road pale ale.

Golden orange color with a small soapy head. Nice nose of caramelized pears, and the dusty sort of fresh ground malt that I adore. Medium mouthfeel, with some citrus, some spicy piney hops, and apricots. Highly quaffable due to the texture.

Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Solid and strong pale ale, that really blends the lines between a regular pale and an IPA. Pours with a white fizzy head with a clear color that can best be described as scotch with a dash of water. Hops and hops and hops in the aroma, both spicy and dank, with some light caramelized malt. Taste is very sweet with melons, pears, and apricots. Water like mouthfeel, lightly fizzy.

on tap-pours a thin white head that laces and amber color. Aroma is grapefruit. Taste is nice grapefruit, medium malt-caramel. Bitter then offset by sweet. Mild/minimum carbonation.

Bottle at Gavlen Bar, Copenhagen. I wrote down it was Pale Ale at 6.4%, but the label was different. Pretty sure it is this. Drank with Reakt sat at the bar and the two of us just stared at the beer in wonder. Gold, slight haze. Ang warned me this was good and it is. Wow. The hop, intense, really flavourful hop. Decent pale malts. Sherberty hop finish. Automatically one of my favourite all time US beers. Stunningly well balanced. Creamy in mouth.
