Lagunitas Freak Out

Formerly brewed at Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Petaluma, California USA

Nice orange with decent head and lacing. Aroma is srong citrus, grapefruit and pine with a big hopy flavor. Palate is a bit soapy.

Bouteille, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur ambrée dorée semi-voilée. Nez de houblon citrique (pamplemousse), floral, légèrement résineux et aux notes herbeuses, malté de caramel sucré avec des notes de biscuits ainsi que fruité (agrumes, léger d’abricots). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux notes résineuses. Goût amer de houblon citrique (pamplemousse), légèrement floral et résineux (qui dure toute la gorgée) avec un goût fruité (agrumes surtout orange, léger d’abricots, notes de mangues) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel doux sucré avec un léger goût de biscuit au miel puis en finale l’on assiste à un léger regain d’amertume de houblon plus herbeux et citrique asséchant. Post-goût long et moyennement sec, amer de houblon citrique, légèrement résineux, herbeux et floral avec un goût fruité (zest d’agrumes).

middle of the road IPA for me. nothing much going on in the malt background...hop flavor was pretty heavy on the citrus rind, leaning toward the grapefruit side of the citrus realm. drank pretty easy, but there are many IPAs i prefer

decent, a bit sweet, citrus hop presence. Clean, though I’m not totally sure I’d call an IPA, a little too sweet for that, imho. Maybe a big red or something...

Bottle: Translucent golden, large foamy white head, Uber lacing, no visible carbonation.   Nose of tobacco like malts, semi-sweet, wet hops, slightly floral.   Somewhat bland malt base, soft hop bitterness, not as floral as expected but instead more of a citrus rind tinge. &bnsp Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Fairly clean, with a grainy sort of malt tang.   Citrus rind lingers well after the finish.   Seems like a fairly average IPA to me... and perhaps not as good as their standard fare.   Glad to have the opportunity to try it at least.

Bottle. Aroma of citrus/lemon hops, some yeast, and german malt. Mouthfeel is good. The flavor was initially of grassy hops, but that dulled to a more balanced flavor similar to a hoppy bock style.

Aroma was of citrus, malt, some yeast; ok smell. Color was a light copper; medium white head. Very good mouthfeel; caramel malt, not very sweet. Grapefruit and citrus hops. Some grassy/earthy feel to it. Found it crisp and refreshing.

copper color with some tan fizzy white head. sweet, light bodied, with lemon, orange, corriander, pine, grapefruit and some carmel. like an esb mated with an ipa.
