| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 19, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a red hue. Nice tight frothy head, high carbonation. Aroma and flavor is a nice balance of bold sweet malt and floral hops. There is also some grapefruit in the background. Short crisp bitter finish. Lagunitas has yet to disappoint me, a must try.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 19, 2007 Tap at Flying Saucer in Htown. Deep reddish amber color with tan head. Nose is hops, hops, hops...floral and piney aromas. Flavor reminds me of a great amber with IPA qualities...good hop and malt balance. Full bodied with a great finish. Love this beer. chef201atc (249), Weatherford, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 18, 2007 on tap at the Houston Flying Saucer. Deep reddish copper colored pour with a nice rocky tan head. Nose is just awesome – dominate piney hop aroma, enough maltiness in the background to balance it out. Mouthfeel is just a touch sticky, but otherwise perfect. Great flavor, the hops are up front and followed with a malty sweetness that doesn’t go overboard. This is another great beer from Lagunitas – they continue to impress. badlizard (2346), Berkeley, California, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 15, 2007 Bottle. Nice red color with copper hues, little bit of a loose white head. Decent floral profile with a very light grapefruit component. Hoppiness is a tad muddled as opposed to the clean aroma. But it’s still a very refreshing hoppy brew and one I’d come back to. railcat1 (581), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 14, 2007 Poured from the bottle a deep garnet red with off-white head and decent lacing. Aroma was hops and malts. Flavor was a blast of piney hops followed sweet malts and finishing with a bittering hop bite. Silky mouthfeel, even with all those hops. Tasted like a mildly sweet IPA, very good!
