Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours with a big frothy head. Deep Golden in color with a huge amount of visible carbonation.
S- Smell is lots and lots of hops. Pine and citrusy grapefruit are the easiest notes to pick out.
T- Taste is bready, with pine and hop bitterness. Well balanced but I think it lacks in complexity and stays on the safe side of the DIPA category.
M- Mouthfeel is carbonated and a bit watery. I would have enjoyed it a little thicker.
D- This is on the extremely drinkable side for ABV and category and i’m not sure if thats such a good thing. Solid DIPA but there just isn’t much to it.

Apr 25, 2008 Bonus points for being a Zappa tribute. Wonderfully hoppy cascade aroma effervesces from a fluffy white head atop a golden clear body. Not particully well balanced, but enjoyable nontheless.

Apr 25, 2008 Pours amber and hazy with a thin white head. Smells resiny with some sweet malt bringing up the rear. Tastes lightly bitter with some nice spicy hints and a caramel finish. A fitting tribute to one of the best musicians of all time.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle at Chris_o’s The Wolf tasting. Thanks to Mes and Hogtownharry. Gold with thin off white head. Really nice PNW hop. Grapefruit is lovely. Some choc lime. That’s my kinda beer. Just lacking a little in the malts.

Apr 22, 2008 650ml brown bottle. Deep gold colour with a touch of haze. Large white head, creamy sticky lacing. Aroma of fruity malt (apricot?) with sweetish citrus/grapefruity notes. Malty, fruity flavour with piney accents. Mild grapefruit in the finish. Dryish. Moderate balanced bitterness. Medium body, tight prickly carbonation profile. Sadly I don’t think is available in Alberta any longer.

Apr 22, 2008 Bottle @ Chris_o.
Pours deep golden with a small creamy white head. Aroma is wonderfully hoppy with plenty of Cascade. Lightish mouthfeel, low carbonation. Flavour is wonderfully hoppy and with a great, dry finish. Good IPA.

Apr 20, 2008 Admittedly, I’m rating this from memory... bottle I got in CA last November. First, let me point out that I got this bottle in a grocery store for $2.99, so that should up the rating even more than what I’m giving it. Insane deal. Pour was light amber, ever so slightly hazy. Some definite citrus, but I remember quite a bit of pine/resin on the palate... more so than others have rated. Maybe it mellowed out over the past few months? Definitely another solid beer from Lagunitas.
