Feb 12, 2009 Updated: Feb 17, 2009Bottle. Pours a nice reddish golden color, nice white head. Very surprised by this ale, I enjoyed it more than I thought. Great mixture of hoppy bite and a malted sweetness. Found it cheap, and was rewarded with a quality brew.

Feb 9, 2009 A- Pours a clear amber color with a creamy off--white head that is mostly sustaining, good lacing throughout
S- Nose is of citrus and pine hops, subtle sweetness and roasted/bread malts, well balanced with slight hint of alcohol
T- Taste divided between roasty malts and citrus (grapefruit mostly) hops, caramel and pine are detectable as is lingering alcohol presence
M- Medium body with adequate carbonation, oily texture, and short finish that is mostly bitter
D- Very nice and well balanced hoppy Red that is noticeably easier to drink than other performers in the "Strong Ale" category. Sweet citrus tones and short finish make this a refreshing ale that can be enjoyed repeatedly through the night.

Feb 4, 2009 Bomber from Total Wine in Norfolk poured into a pint glass on 1/17/09. Pours a burnt red/amber color with a half inch off-white head and abundant lacing. Aroma is of mild citrus with orange and lemon and some floral hops with a good amount of sweet malt, spices, and raisins. Flavor is not bad at all. Largely bitter up front and very malty with hints of citrus and cinnamon that makes it slightly sweet. Has a long lasting nutty bitterness. Palate is a bit syrupy but still smooth with decnt carbonation and a very long finish. A great value at $3.99 for a bomber.

Feb 4, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Nice. Huge head that sticks around forever. Got plenty of awesomeness. Incredibly drinkable, surprisingly. One of the best Lagunita’s brews I’ve tried. Little too sweet in the finish. It’s no Arrogant Bastard, but pretty aight.

Jan 31, 2009 Bottle. Almandine body with a 1” foamy head. Nose-hoppy, lightly grassy, smells like a brewery floor. Taste-hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, mouth stinging like a strong geuze, very hoppy, strong crystal malt background, grassy. Good use of malts versus hops.
