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

Bottle.
Pours a rich amber with a nice head of offwhite. Aroma is malty pine with orange. Flavor is a tangy grapefruit with a sour orange offset. Nice mouthfeel. Not bad, but too malty for me.

Great beer. Pours a beautiful reddish brown color that looks like it is bleeding when the light hits it. Head is medium sized, off white and soapy and has green highlights and great lacing. Nose is toasted malt and lots of hops and some citrus notes. Taste is pretty sweet with lots of caramel, toast, grapefruit and malt. Tastes a bit dry too, maybe some dry hopping. Yum.

Fiery copper color with a light tan head, great lacing. Nice aroma is a bit boozy with caramel malt and piney hops, also a whiff of oxidation. Medium body. Decent taste mirrors the smell with sweet malts and piney hops. Not too bad.

draft. hazy brown amber. toasty malt aroma backed by a mild hop. grains definitely dominate. the higher abv is well hidden but there is an unpleasant acidic taste on the back end. interesting to taste but nothing i would pick up again.

Nice rich copper color with off-white head. Nose of roasted sweet malt with a bit hops. Flavor was more hoppy and citrus than aroma let on. Kind of sneaks up on you, but it was a pleasant suprise. Good balance between the two, with full flavor until the finish.

Deep reddish caramel - shiny a new penny. Lovely lasting whitish head. Nose of toast and caramel notes (not the cloying variety) woody resiny hop notes, some yeasty notes and alcohol Taste: Big brash clash of bag base malts with some toast and crystal malt with nice resiny woody spicy hop flavors Palate: Silky finish with prolonged battle with drying resinous hops with resurgent malt notes leaning towards caramel and toast Overall: A strong ale in all the terms - Pitched combat in a glass between big hoppy (woddy, resiny, spicy) notes and equally sizeable base malts with some caramel qualities showing... the only off putting thing is the alcoholic notes as the beer warms. Really tasty offering. I would say taste one fresh for the hop flavors - put one away to taste in a while as the malts show their presence (oh! and be careful the 8+ alcohol can be a doozy)

A very nice red ale! Great hop aroma and flavor that goes nearly perfectly with the sweet malt taste. Super kudos to the brewers and Lagunitas.
