Stong hoppy aroma, like some early bitter hops. Very fragrant- great color- overall- one of the better IPA’s I have had-

Jan 1, 2010 Pours orange with a thin head and thick lacing. Aroma is hops, slight vegetable notes. Flavor is big hops that get bigger, unbalanced caramel malts underneath with a pleasantly bitter finish. A slightly above average IPA, but not noteworthy.

Jan 1, 2010 Bottle. Pours golden with a lasting rocky head. Fantastic aroma and flavour of citrus, grapefruit and pine, with a supportive malt backbone of caramel and biscuit. There’s moderate bitterness that shows right through to the finish. Perhaps a tad too sweet which would be my only flaw with this IPA. It’s quite sessionable though and enjoyed it.

Dec 30, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours clear golden amber with a dense off white head. Aroma of floral and citrus hops, that signature Lagunitas sugary sweetness and some light caramel malt. Flavor is pretty sweet, once again that sugary sweetness that is common in a lot of Lagunitas beers, there is also a medium hop bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation and a syrupy mouth feel. Overall a decent IPA, bit sweet but good.

Dec 30, 2009 Pours orange/amber with no head. Nose has caramel/toffee with heaps of citrus & pine. Palate translates well but doesn’t add a whole lot else. Still has a decent amount of hops but not overly robust, bit of a maltbomb at this point. Finishes with a touch of piney hops. Quite tasty but doesn’t really grab me, suspect it would be much better/hoppier fresh.

Dec 29, 2009 Bottle. Clear golden orange body with a short-lived beige head. Hoppy nose has notes of citrus (particularly orange), pine and caramel. Similar flavour with some noticeable sweetness, light and smooth mouthfeel and a long mildly bitter finish. Easy drinking and flavoursome, this is a very nice IPA.

Dec 28, 2009 Poured gold with a small white head that leaves some lacing. The beer has a nice upfront hop flavour with lots of citrus, mostly lemon, and some pine, but then there is not much to back it up and you are left with a bitter aftertaste. The flavour is nice but it’s just not very well balanced making it a good beer, but not great.

Dec 24, 2009 Aroma is very nice. Citrusy, pine, and some maltiness.
Pretty straightforward, but the citrus just explodes in your face. haha
Taste is a bit watery, but a lot of flavor from the hops. Not much malt backbone at all, but this is drinkable.
Citrus out the ass, and pine on the back of the palate.
Finishes with a little bit of lingering pine.
Nice.

Dec 24, 2009 Poured amber orange. Fluffy head. Nose of pine and slight citrus. In the mouth it is easy drinking slight sweetness with pine, grass and more citrus. Not over the top but still well made.
