| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2007 22oz bottle. Aroma: Light bready maltiness with a touch of caramel. Big citrus hoppiness with some pine and resin following close behind. Appearance: Dark gold/amber in color and slightly hazed. Off-white head was full and foamy with good retention. Good lacing. Flavor: Light cereal maltiness with some light sweet caramel notes. Citrus and resin, pine and grass. Medium-high bitterness lingered for quite awhile. Palate: Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Overall: A beer in the typical Lagunitas vein. Hoppy, light caramel maltiness, lingering bitterness. Rinse and repeat. Aubrey (2778), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 15, 2007 Foamy-frothy head. Bright gold with lacey rings. Light body; lively carbonation; crisp mouthfeel. Malts were light but nice. Flavors were toasty and fresh, with a pinch of caramel sweetness. Hops were bright and snappy. Bitter citrus (grapefruit) seemed to stand out the most. Sharp, aromatic flowers produced a stark bitterness that lingered. Earthy-musty flavors lingered in the aftertaste. Overall, I found this beer a little understated in some areas and a little too blunt/harsh in other areas. There were some nice things going on, but there was some clashing going on, too.
