Lagunitas Kill Ugly Radio

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Petaluma, California USA

Pours a nice golden yellow with thick head. Aroma was mainly pine, hops, and citrus. The flavor is very hoppy up front, but a good kick of citrus helps even it out. Kind of bready and a bit of earth as well. Nice and bitter finish.

Pours a murky golden orange with almost no head. Citrus Hop aroma. Loaded with hops that slightly mellow at the end. Very hoppy IPA.

Pours a clear medium to darkish gold, nice head fades to a thin coat, good lacing. Aroma is hops all the way, with grapefruit, pineapple, a bit of pine, and faint earth and floral. Complex and inviting. Flavor is also highly hop oriented, with more of an emphasis on pine, a bit of earth and grapefruit, and a touch of floral on the finish. Dry biscuit malts, enough to keep it held together. Very nice.

From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 19. Pours golden yellow, clear, with a lacing white head. Strong grapefruit aroma with a sweet maltbase. Peachy and slight herbal malty too. Flavour is dry fruity, with a mild grainy note. Ends bitter and dry. Slight woody finish.

Comments: A fruity, citrusy and peachy IPA with an abusive residual sugar presence and does not have the body to go with it.

The pour is a nice gold color. The nose is pure grapefruit and hops. Nicely hopped up and smooth at the same time. Somewhat dry, with a hint of oily lemon and a grapefruit with powdered sugar blended in. Not bad at all.

The pour from the 22 ounce bottle is a crystalline gold, portly bright white creamy head settles slowly, leaving a tight coating upon the glass. Nose has a grassy, piney, aroma, chased by the sweet malt, citrus like crispness, fresh as they come. Start has a decent malt profile, with a lip smacking hop bite, top is medium in feel. Finish has a delightful acidity, the hops potent in their spiciness, very dry lingering aftertaste, a fine drinking beer, seems a bit different than most Lagunitas brews, but you just don’t know about them till you pour it, and take a gulp, one thing I know for sure, it will be good

Another expensive Lag bomber from Bottle Barn $2.59! nose of very piney hops; clear dark gold with a medium, quckly disapated off-white head; flavor of pine sap with medium bitterness.
