Feb 12, 2009 In short: Caramelized malts and resinous hops. An unoriginal but above average American IPA.
How: Bottle 22oz. (backlog, consumed some time ago)
The look: Partly cloudy golden body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose of hops resin. Pleasant smooth caramel quickly followed by a strong bitterness with pine-tree and citrus fruits. A bit resinous. Lots of small bubbles. Nice IPA that is somewhere between the refreshing and the nourishing type. Good thing it’s retired, every time I was in a bar and a customers said “We would like the Freak Out please” the owner would ask me to leave the premises.

Dec 25, 2008 Very well balanced brew with a huge citrus hop smell and taste but a decided caramel malt backdrop as well. The best of the Zappa beers thus far.

Dec 15, 2008 Caramelly aroma with light citric hopping. The flavor continues the trend with a dry caramelly background laced with grapefruit-rind bitter hops.

Aug 31, 2008 Aged about a year in my basement, found at Belmont Part Supply, Dayton. Smells like an IPA and initially quite hoppy, with a finish of palm/coconut oil. Drinkable,but the coconut oiliness is not my favorite. Medium bodied. Golden yellow with loyal bubbly almost transparent head.

Aug 15, 2008 Cool label! Pours gold with a nice white head. Smells of resin, wildflowers, spicem pepper, earthy. Tastes resiny and caramelly with a finish that is slightly cloying. Decent.

Aug 11, 2008 Crisp hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of fresh malt, alcohol, strong yeast and a ton of hops - very nice! Full-bodied; Super strong hops show up front with a bunch of alcohol, malt and yeast with apricots the most pungent of the bunch. Aftertaste shows piney and grapefruity hops with a good malt backbone and some yeast to cover it all up. In addition -a full bodied alcoholic flavour. Overall, a very nice beer - more of an Imperial IPA, but a ton of hops show very well! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in San Francisco, CA (4th Ave SOMA location) on 27-October-2008, sampled on 07-August-2008.

Aug 8, 2008 Thank you Jeremy for letting me try this! Love the name. Pours a hazy copper color with a nice frothy head. Floral aroma, with a mix of hops and citrus notes. Some caramel, malt, and hops mixed in the taste. Light citrus notes as well. Decent beer from Lagunitas!

Aug 2, 2008 From a 22 ounce bottle poured a pale hazy amber hue with a rich frothy white head. Piny, bitter, citrus aroma with a floral tinge. Sticky, prickly, gritty, gnarley Lagunita presence. Yum!
