Dec 31, 2007 Bottle, 22oz. (RBNAG 07) An orange-golden, slightly hazy beer, poured with an off-white head. Sweetish nose with all the joys of American hops dominating. The same goes for the flavor, lots of pine, resin, citrus and fruityness, as well as a lot of sweetness, but far from overpowering the hops. Full body, and so hoppy it almost feels a bit astringent in the mouth. A lovely beer, but maybe a bit too hoppy, meaning that it is more a hop juice than a beer. (071103)

Dec 28, 2007 Wonderful piney grapefruit hop aroma, even on the second whiff, thick mouth feel that tremendous high powered malt hop blend. not quite as wide and bold as Dogfish head, but still a classic taste. falls apart a little at the end and becomes a little alcohol y, but still a great brew

Dec 23, 2007 Here is a DIPA for the ages! Everything about this ale is superb, from the citrus aroma to the perfectly balanced aftertaste. In between are a nice copper/orange color, a beautiful off-white head with excellent lacing and a taste that tells you it’s a DIPA - not by its strength but by its depth. Mouthfeel is opulent. All this combines to perfectly integrate the higher alcohol content. Definitely a keeper.

Dec 20, 2007 I might not be the world’s biggest Lagunitas, but I gotta call it like I taste it and this is one tasty DIPA. Quite excellent really in every phase, and easily one of the top 25 DIPA’s out there I think. Aroma is a really nice 1-2 punch of piney and citrusy hop goodness, but it’s more than just that. There a lingering perfumey character that is really noticeable and a touch of malty sweetness. Appearance is a solidy, hazy medium orange in color with a beautiful, thick and creamy off-white head that had some great staying power. Looked quite beautiful the entire time with suprising lacing after every sip. Mouthfeel was sily smooth. No harshness here, no overcarbonation. Flavors were well integrated with a pleasant hop/malt combo that was neither overwhelming or too subtle. I think this was about as balanced as I like my DIPA’s to be and still have enough hop profile to please me. Orange, tangerine, and grapefruit are really at the forefront with this beer. Very nice and I think this is something that I know I can go to on a regular basis now. If you see it, don’t expect to be blasted by a ton of hoppage. What you get with this one is a signifigant difference than some DIPA’s, which is to say it’s balanced. Highly recommended.
