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

Bottle at a little gathering of Tennesseeans. Pours yellow with off white head. The aroma is resiny pine with some florality and sweetness. The flavor is light with a piney bitter finish. Pretty good.

THOUGHTS: Not much different from the other Lagunitas beers I’ve tried. Not bad, but no that much different. Not balanced enough. It could use a little more malt in the flavor. Smelled better than it tasted because the malt is more evident in the aroma. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light amber with an average-sized, white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was moderately malty and heavily hoppy (pine and orange citrus hops). The initial flavor was light to moderate sweetness and light bitterness, while the finish was light to moderate sweetness and heavy bitterness with a long duration. There was some malt sweetness that was quickly overpowered by orange and pine hops. The medium body was dry with soft carbonation and a metallic finish.

bomber poured a golden in color with a thick one finger head on the pour and good carbination. smell is hops, grapefruit, citrus, apricot, and hops, hops, hops. taste is grapefruit hops, slight sweetness, mid range on body, and has some nice malted thickness. taste is right up my alley, i love this stuff, nice pine floral bitterness, great sweet bitter balance, and goes down real smooth. the labeling on this bottle is strange, does not say one word about it’s contents, and almost made me pass this one over in the store but am i glad i did not.

Appearance: Pours a clear, copper body with a small, fizzy white head. Smell: Perfumy aroma of wet, leafy hops with notes of sugar-crusted grapefruit. Taste: Light maltiness upfront, with a taste of toasted grains and only a hint of sweetness. Strong grapefruit rind flavor. Plenty of bitterness, but never too much to stray far from the light malt base. Finishes dry, with a lightly lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: It’s a decent brew that walks the line between IPA and Double IPA.

Orangely yellow, nice rocky head. Nice floral, piney aroma with a touch of sweet. Smoky flavor with just a touch of pine. Hints of caramel in the background. Thanks to Springslicker for sharing.

pours a darker, transparent shade of gold. Fluffy head with some spotty lacing. fruits & piney hops on the nose. Flavor profile is very similar to the aroma. Nice bitter finish

Poured a beautiful golden color with ruby notes into the tulip. There was a huge, thick, fluffy white head, and sticky lacing. The scent was soapy with some floral and citrus notes coming through. An excellent coating mouthfeel for an IPA. Hops are balanced with some sweet malt. Good finish, nice IPA.

Bottle (22oz). Clear gold, very large lasting frothy-fizzy white head. Pretty in-your-face resin/pine/lemon zest hop aroma, some light acidic UK hop character in behind, hints of pineapple, plenty of sweet malt - since I love this style, smells good to me. The taste is acidic-hoppy, less malty, longer bitter tart-fruit finish. Think, slightly sticky mouthfeel, nice carbonation/acidity, fairly long medium-alcohol finish. Good - not great, but well done. I’d have it again.
