Lagunitas Lucky #13

Smells chewy, chalky, woodsy, and heavy. Pours a bright red, with tan lacing. Decent carbonation and mouthfeel, and is less chewy than I expected after the aroma. Tastes much better than it smells too, and is nicely balanced.

Bomber. A great beer, plain and simple. Tastes like a cross between Brown Shugga and Censored Kronik Copper Ale. Nice sweet honey, brown sugar, citrus, and hop flavors are present and eager. Lingering bitter palate, with slight esoghageal burn due to the well-masked 8.3%. Excellent overall. Will be looking for again. Thanks Lagunitas.

Well hidden ABV on this Strong. Big PNW hop nose. Flavors are pine and grapefruit with equally robust caramel/toffee profile. Quite a nice surprise and will look for it again.

Hazy dull dark amber. Chewy caramel, earth, and woody slightly oxidized malt on the nose. Chewy, earthy, lagunitasy character. Very bitter and dry, and also rather chewy.

Bottle. Translucent copper pour. Tall sticky tan head leaves spiderweb like lacing in the glass.Nose is citrusy hops, caramel, sweet malts, and some earthiness and nuttiness. Taste is strong citrus laden hops, soft pine, chewy caramel, and sweet maltiness. There’s more of the earthiness coming through here as well as spicy hop notes. Body is medium-full and rather chewy. The carbonation is dense but creamy and this beer just goes down easy. Bit of lingering bitterness to it. Finish is more chewy malts and caramel, spicy hops, citrus fruits and some nutty flavors. Rather nice!
