Mar 6, 2008 Nice copper/amber pour with white head. Strong aromas of hops, pine, and citrus. Hops and citrus to taste overall. Very solid IPA from Lag. I could drink this one all night long.

Mar 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with moderate dense beige head, some lacing. Aroma has mild pine, very slight tropical fruit - esp. mango, sticky toffee. Flavor is bombarded with hops - fruity, flora, mild pinel, lightly peppery, moderately bitter. Distinctive Lagunitas toffee malt flavor throughout. Bitterness lingers long in finish. Archetypal west coast IPA.

Mar 1, 2008 TAP@ Maxies? in Ithica. I like this IPA. It’s tasty and pretty true to style. Lagunitas beer has a distinctive taste to it somewhat like DFH. It’s one of those breweries where you could recognize most of their beers if you were blindfolded. Dogfish Head is like that for me too. Does that make sense?? Does anybody else feel that way about any beers? Anyways, this is a good IPA that is easily found here in NY.

Feb 28, 2008 Bottle. Small ivory fizzy head that mostly diminished, spotty amount of lacing, mostly transparent, and visible carbonation. Nose was mildly malty, sweet, and citrus hops. Flavor was malty, some caramel, hoppy but not overly so, citrus-grapefruit. Fairly smooth mouthfeel and light-mediumm body. A nicely balanced IPA and one that I enjoyed because it was not over-the-top hops since I am not a hophead. Would drink this one in the future and worthy of a try.

Feb 21, 2008 Tap: Took no notes so I’m writing based on memory. Deep orange pour with a wispy off-white head. The aroma shows some mild fruitiness of oranges and a light peach touch, but the hops seem restrained. The body is light with a restrained hop character as well. Not much bitterness at all. Reminds me of a watered down, less bitter Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It seems the wide distribution has given it a "macro IPA" feel to it.

Feb 20, 2008 pours from bottle a copper color with off-white head. Aroma of floral hoppiness with a little grapefruit. The flavor starts with a hint of sweetness but quickly the floral hop bitterness takes hold. It is not overly bitter, just enough to balance the beer. There are hints of grass, gratefruit and maybe a twinge of caramel. This is a very nice drinkable IPA.
