Commercial Description:
From the first day of the first mash of the first recipe in the first space to this oasis 13 years on the road; We have worked hard to walk in the footsteps of our hero brewers. The Esteemed brewer of California's best Pale Ale, the Noble Brewer of the planet's only legal Steam Beer, and Oregon's Rebel Brewer from Newport. Thirteen years down the road, we have found our own voice as brewers but our admiration for the Great Ones has not dimmed one bit. If we walked well down the hero's path ourselves, perhaps we too have been an inspiration for others. Beer is a Bronze Age business and we feel honored to have left our footprints on its path into history, at the same time leaving our flavors on your buds. Thanks for your trust over the years and we hope you enjoy this specially brewed Hi-Gravity Auburn offering. Beer Speaks. People Mumble! O.G. 1.085 76.92 IBU

Copper body with a medium sized white head. Aroma is caramel with citrus hoppiness. The Flavor is pretty nice. Very assertive bitter hops with a nice rounding out of caramel and even some strawberry. Medium bodied with a really nice mouth feel. A definite winner.

Looks great. Malty, little cherry flavor, hoppy finish. Not crazy about this one like I thought I would be. Can’t put my finger on it. Just seems a bit harsh to me, not terribly drinkable/smooth.

Great beer, strong floral presence mixed quite remarkably with some bitternes, hops, and malts. A full bodied mind bending experience of a beer.

Pours dark ruby bronze with a good beige head. Aroma is floral, herbal hops, sticky sweet with malts. Good balance. Taste doesn’t disappoint - large quantities of floral hops and dark malts, though it seems a bit too much like both extremes (bitter hops and sweet malts) are simply mixed, and not well-blended. The taste is big, but it’s simultaneously too bitter and too sweet - the two flavors don’t manage to counter each other well enough. Still, I’m impressed with the full body and powerful flavor - it drinks more like a barleywine than a red, like they claim it to be.

Nothing special. Sparkling amber, lasting beige head.Intense bead. Nose is sweet, lightly cat pissy. Sweet start. Lots of bitterness in finish, hard to tell if from hops, alcohol bite, or both

Bottle thanks to Douglas88. I’ve had this one in my fridge for about a month, since my trade with Douglas. For some reason I’ve been working around it, as a red ale just hasn’t part of my craving lately. However, I this was much better than my expectations. A pretty hoppy red ale, with strong hop aroma. I really like the hoppy/malty balance here...which leads to a nice, slightly bitter finish.

Bottled. Poured red w/decent to small head. Aroma is hops w/some sweet malts. Taste is hops and a bit woody w/caramel tinges. I agree with other raters insofar as Lagunitas’ brews all tend to taste rather similar.

Toasty caramel malt aroma, with some soapy hop notes as well. Pours a crystal clear amber color with a small ring of white foam. Light to medium bodied on the palate, quite resiny, with toasted toffee forming the malt backbone. Seriously though can Lagunitas brew anything but strong ales?
