Commercial Description:
This Special Ale is, in reality, a reconstructed exhumation of the very first ale that we ever brewed way, way back, in 1993. Brewed with a big head, a muscular malty thorax, a silky texture & all strung together with a hoppy sweet nerve sack... yum. O.G. 1.072 84.2 IBU

This stuff rocks! Pours a rusty amber with a nice off white head with good lacing. Nose of citrusy hops, with a heavy malt character.

Pours a copper color with an off-white head. Aroma is of citrus and pine hops, caramel, and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet up front with the sweet malts and caramel and finishes decently bitter with the citrus and pine hops. Nice lingering flavor on this one. Another good Lagunitas brew.

This was good. It poured a dark gold with a nice head. The sweet malt came in first, coating the mouth, followed by a strong hop finish. It seemed fuller bodied and stronger than a typical Red.

Draught > Flying saucer. I like this. Perfect mix of sweet and bitter. Starts sweet and smooth then finish hoppy. Great beer, IMO. Definitely my favorite Lagunitas thus far.

12oz bottle. Pours reddish copper color with lite brown head. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste of grapefruit and sweet malt with bitter after taste. Aroma and taste of lite Double Bastard, outstanding ASA.

This is a rich, flavourful beer with complexity, body, great balance and a pleasant, flowery element in the finish. It’s full of strong flavour, yet very drinkable and smooth. A nice reddish-brown, it has a rich foamy head with good lacing.

Not as strong or syrupy as i was expecting. A very nice hop scent and taste of hops, hay and celery with slight spices and a very fruity malty balance. Medium body with a crisp yet smooth palate. Finishes a bit flowery but not overwhelming. The finish could be longer and more pronounced.
