Nov 25, 2009 Talk about tooting your own horn you’d think they invented beer! .... Amber pour clear with a little bit of white head .... nice amount of lacing aroma of citrus and piney hops and crystal malts ... malty at first then a citrus hop flavor .... a good balance get the initial caramel sweet malt taste then a bitter piney/soapy citrus hop finish ... a medium bodied sessionable and enjoyable brew that hides the alcohol very well

Nov 23, 2009 Pours a clear dark orange, with a small white head, lots of lace. Really nice looking. Aroma of sweet earthy malt and big pine & citrus hops. Taste is grapefruit hop, resinous pine, sweet malt. Finish is bitter. Mouth is sticky and coating, maybe a little dry. Overall, an excellent ale.

Nov 23, 2009 Location: 22 oz bottle from Norm’s, 11/23/09
Aroma: Nose of citrus, pine, toffee, and caramel, with a bit of spice and some earthiness too
Appearance: Pours a mildly cloudy amber color, with a lasting beige head and lots of lace
Flavor: The taste is a combination of some nice sweet malts, and a big hoppy finish
Palate: This is a pretty full-bodied beer that has a relatively lively carbonation
Overall Impression:
Overall I really enjoyed this beer. It has a nice balanced flavor to it, but still having a wonderfully hoppy flavor. I’d say it worked quite well. A good looking, good smelling, good tasting brew, that has the Lagunitas feel to it, and just plane works well.

Nov 22, 2009 Bomber bottle, Amber pour with good foam head and lacing. Pleasant aroma of hops, pine notes and sweet light citrus. Malt grain smooth with hops mixed in keep this lively and enjoyable to drink, not too hop bitter or dry to throw you off. Nice drinker this, speak to me baby!!

Nov 21, 2009 This taste like a Lagunitas through and through. The toffee sweet, slighty alcoholic, lightly bitter aroma. The in your face sugary malt backed up by the bitter, piney hops. Sticky - check. Sweet - check. Piney bitterness - check. All good things but so similar to many of the other Lagunitas ales. Very drinkable and the 8.3 abv is completely undetectable. Nice brew. Thanks Lagunitas. 2009 22 oz.

Nov 19, 2009 Dark amber with a thick white head, bit malty, very crisp finish. So well balanced, a pint is not really much to swallow.
