Commercial Description:
This is our unique version of an ancient style. A style as old as the ocean trade routes of the last centuries Great Ships. Not as old as the equator they had to cross twice enroute, nor as old as the 10,000 or so miles of Di-Hydrogen Oxide and Sodium upon which they sailed, but older than the Circulithium-4 Lentloid that binds the Lupulin Quartnate onto your taste buds. Weird. Think about it. Now stop. OK, go again, now stop. Think again, and stop. But we digress. Made with 43 different hops and 65 various malts, this redolent ale will likely float your boat, whatever planet you're on.

This orange ale poured with a thin beige head. It’s a typical IPA, with plenty of hop bitterness and aroma and a balancing malt presence. There is some carbonation and a bit of citrus in the finish.

Bottle, 22 fl. oz. Pours a light amber beer, with a nice off-white head. The aroma is hops, with notes of herbs and fruits, mainly lemon. Nice hoppy flavor, with mainly american hops. The hops tastes of lemon and grapefruit. Nice mouthfeel and overall a nice american IPA. (#100)

Orangish in color with a decent head. Hoppy smell with floral and citus notes. Flavor has the same with some grassiness. The beer seemed like it was laking in something though.

On Tap at Tank’s Tap Room (Carrollwood, FL). Draft pours a hazy golden orange with a decent sized foamy head. Pungent aroma of citrus, pine, and hops. Very hoppy flavor with a nice aftertaste. Subtle hints in the flavor also remind me of tea leaves.

Bottle. Pours amber-orange with a moderately sized and lasting white head. Aroma is fresh citrus, mainly orange. Flavor is fresh citrus up front, with moderate bitterness, moving to some sweet caramel maltiness, a bit of grassiness, and a more earthy bitter hop finish. Well balanced but still pretty hoppy. Pretty good.

Most Lagunitas brews are quite good, but this one I found very lacking. I’m not sure if I got a bad batch or what but this is more like an average amber rather then an IPA. The nose is almost non-existent save for a mild hop aroma. For an IPA this beer is quite weak. Like I mentioned, it’s like an amber rather then an IPA. Burnt carmel and toffee dominate over the hops. From reading other reviews I’ve come to the conclusion that either the recipe has been tinkered with because of the hop shortage going on at the time of this review, or I just got a bad brew. I’ll try again in the future and re-rate if needed.

On tap. Kind of orange with an off white head. Nice strong fruity hop aroma. Also a strong hop flavor with a little bit of malt. I’ll have this again, it’s pretty good.
