May 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear amber with a one finger beige head that results in spotty lacing. The nose is sweet malt and ripe citrus. The taste is caramel, ripe dark fruits and tart grapefruit in the finish. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Good brew.

May 2, 2009 On tap @ Reggie’s. Interesting brew that redeemed Lagunitas for me after the Gnarly Wine fiasco. Ar: Lovely floral profile reminiscent of FFF brews. Candied sugar and best of all, cardamom. Ap: Copper/Golden amber color, small ivory head w/ some residual starfish lacing. Fl: Not quite as intense as the aroma, but should be a good session beer despite the abv being marginally on the higher side. Caramel malt, fruity hop tones, cotton candy and some residual sweetness that i couldn’t quite identify. Metallic aftertaste is a bit of a letdown. Finishes dry and refreshing.

Apr 1, 2009 Aroma of fruity hops and sweet malt. Dark red-brown color and a creamy tan head with strong lacing. Taste has a hoppy bite but balanced with a rich malt flavor and noticeable alcohol. Well balanced with a smooth character overall.

Mar 12, 2009 Bottled. Great off white head that does dissapate. Reddish mahagony color with aromas of sweet malt, Earth, And hops. Taste is of solid sweet malt, piny, citrusy, hops, and a little yeast in there. Great mouth feel that tingles the tongue and finishes full.

Mar 11, 2009 Its a really large beer. Smells like pine but the hops are citrus and present. Ends with malty sweetness.
