Bottle: Pours a golden/copper color with a big fluffy white head. My first thought is this beer isnt red at all, not even very close. Whats up with that? Anyway the flavor is more important. Aroma is of sugar and caramel and citrusy orange/lemon hops. Flavor is malty and sweet with a sharp hop bitterness and a citrus slghtly lemony finish with the candi like caramel sweetness coming through to the end as well as a lingering bitterness. This is a beer that will hang on in your mouth for awhile and makes it hard to drink a lot. But it is good for awhile just a little too sharp i think.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottle, 2008 Pre-GBBF Chris_o Shindig. Orange, bit of white head. Sweet caramel aroma, toasty biscuit, ripe grapefruit. Caramel-sweet flavor, spicy grapefruit hops. A touch sweet for drinking in volume, but very pleasant in a small dose.

Deep red in color with a dense light brown head. Loads of sweet grainy malt aromas along with soaked bread and as in every other Lagunital i’ve had, lots of flowery hops. Sweet caramel and nutty flavor again with plenty of bitterhops. Great!
