For a beer labled a a pale oat beer it was very good. Very light but not summery. A good spring beer.

Sweet and bitter, but more bitter. Kind of dry finish. Not as hoppy as I expected. Can't rave about this but can't put it down either. Nice thick mouthfeel.

Brew pours up golden with significant fluffy white head. Head is retained throughout and there is light lacing. Aroma is a little bit hops, a little bit malt, and a little bit oats. Flavor is initially hoppy/bitter followed by a light splash of oats and finishes dry. Interesting.

This must have been a magic bottle, because I poured a bottle of Lagunitas Equinox Ale and out came East European super-strength lager, with a hard metallic edge to its bitterness, a somewhat tingling body but a generally pale, flat appearance, and really very little to recommend for it. A hint of sweetness in the end. I can't explain it--it didn't seem like a bad bottle (fresh from a good grocery store), just a bad beer. Had it been a blind taste test--I have greatly enjoyed Lagunitas beers in the past--I would have guessed it was something from Hungary or Albania. I'll try another bottle when I get a chance.

Wonderful bready, grainy, nutty aroma. Light goledn appearance, but MUCH more flavor than it looks to have. Rich and yeasty/bready, I can alomst taste the oats. Full aftertaste with a hint of warmth going down. Overall a wonderful lighter beer.

Bread, bannana, and subtle hops in the nose, Golden body and a tight creamy head. Every thing about this beer has a certain thickness to it. Slightly fruiy with buttermilk sweetness, bannana, and slight citrus. Touches of flowers, honey, and warm alcohol. Beautiful balance, just sweet/thick/bready/bitter enough.
