Commercial Description:
At the height of the heat in the heart of the summer, we felt that the only cure was a raging mouthful of fresh hops and malt. Caution: May remove enamel from teeth. This is Lagunitas IPA pumped up by about 30%!

barely qualifying as a double, and therefore a very drinkable brew. strong hops nose not much body, long bitter tail.

Pleasant surprise all-around here. Beautiful golden red color with a fast head. Sweet floral aroma of tart cherries, apple, orange. Sweet crisp greeting with some expected citrus, barely noticeable alcohol, and bitter but relatively clean aftertaste.

bottle....been in the fridge for a few months so it’s probably not at its freshest....poured a semi-transparent orange brown with a frothy white to off white head....floral and citrus notes in the nose combines with some malts but not too much....flavor of crisp citrus hops with a bitterness that lingers a bit in the finish but it’s not obtrusive in any way. not too much in the way of malts and overall it is quite dry.....way better than the Oddysey just tried and is a bargain DIIPA for the price.

Lagunitas Maximus IPA Pours an orange-amber color, fizzy white head. Aromas of apple, pear, hops. First sip reveals more pear, sour blueberry, lingering and savory hops.

Wanted to try this, especially given the price (nice and cheap). Poured a nice golden color. Taste is light tropical and citrus. Fairly light flavor for a double IPA. Very drinkable.

I will call this one the Workin’ Man’s IPA since the price is usually about 3.99 for a 22oz. Can’t go wrong w/that! Good hoppy IPA for the HOPHEAD! Pours with a nice fluffy head and light amber colored body! Sweet!
