pours a bright amber color with a white head. aroma is earthy and full of hops. flavor is strong. lots of citrus, hops and malty notes, with the kind of aftertaste that lingers on your tongue, begging for more. a solid beer.

does not count  Jul 4, 2008 22oz. bottle. Orval chalice. Pours deep orange color. Fresh, grassy dry hops all over a sticky sweet malt base. Plenty of character and assertive flavor. Alcohol over 8%. This is a big beer with a big hop presence, nice balance, very tasty.

Jul 3, 2008 Pleasant aroma and appearance. I like the fully developed sour/fresh flavor in this beer. However it suffers in the finish. It is dry, which is nice, but the flavor never wraps up appropriately with a sweetness or bite.

Jul 3, 2008 22oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Pours a deep reddish amber color with an off white head. Smells of cookie, citrusy hops, and a hint of cocoa. Big balanced flavor, caramel and citrus shine together. Long bitter finish. Stays interesting throughout the whole bottle.

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle from the Co-op in Davis, CA. Poured a copper color and smelled of citurs hops. I love how Lagunitas has almost perfected the blend of hops and malts to make it so smooth on the palate. Carmel and a little bit of citus help this beer have such a great taste.

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle from Coop in Davis, CA. It’s difficult to quantify this brew without mentioning another Lagunitas beer, the copper ale. It’s maltier than the latter, but it still has a little kick of hops. Otherwise, there are flavors consistent with a citrus IPA mixed with a malty amber. Very good.
