Sep 27, 2009 12oz screwtop. Does indeed pour a nice red with a decent head and some good lacing. Very well balanced malt taste but it definitely brings the hops as well. It is a bit on the strong side as far as abv but you sure cannot taste the alcohol so I did not realize this until I started feeling a quick buzz coming on and looked more closely at the label. Didn’t notice the word "Imperial" in my haste to grab a dinner beer!

Sep 26, 2009 Really nice big and thick head. Dark amber color. Heavy malty and caramel aroma. Lots of malts in the taste, along with a nice sweetness that is counterbalanced with the hops that appear in the end. Tastes like an IPA in a way, but in another way tastes nothing like it. Smooth, but nice medium body.

Sep 24, 2009 from memory of last weekend- it smells sweet, fruity, friendly. it has alot of head that lingers. color is of a reddish tone. it tastes rather light for the amount of alcohol in it, but don’t let that fool you. personally not my style, as i don’t aim to get wasted. i will have one once in a while. it went good with keegan old capital.

Sep 22, 2009 A dark red beer with little head. Aroma is sweet, fruity hops. The taste is the same as the aroma that is like a fruit-hop-candy. Definitely another nice one by Lagunitas. I sure do love their Limited Releases.

Sep 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark reddish amber with a thick frothy pearl head. Spicy hop aroma with sweet notes. Tastes of malt and caramel with lots of pine and spicy hops. Finishes with warming crispness. Absolutely brilliant! Something with lots of hops that isn’t an IPA or Bareleywine!

Sep 16, 2009 Caramel hop explosion - way darker in color and roastier in flavor than expected - tastes a little like a hoppy scotch ale. The hop flavor reminds me of Sumpin’ Sumpin’ with its oranginess. Nice, different than expected, pretty intense, better than a scotch ale with a little bit of a hint of one.
