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%!

Drank this after the stoudts and it in my opinion is better...pours orangeish with light creamy head.mells of fruits and hops. Taste is a good blend of sweet/bitter.

Pours amber orange with a small off white head. Very fresh aroma of honey and grapefruit. Taste is caramel, grass grapefruit. It’s a little watery with a dry bitter finish.

Bouteille de 650 ml acheté le 9 juillet 2009, à Charles Street Liquors à Boston. Cuivre claire, petit collet. Arome d’houblon sucré licoreux, petits fruits muries. Goût de céréal mi-sucré, houblon un peu amère et assez alcoolisé, finition sucré amère. Une très bonne IPA, mais je n’irais pas le nommé une double!

(Bottled) Almost clear copper-amber with a small head. Aroma of piney hops and strawberry fruitiness. Flavor is quite fruity with moderate bitterness, lots of exotic-fruity aroma hops, and slightly sweet malty backbone. Medium body, very soft carbonation. A clean and well-made IPA, but maybe not so clearly on the Double IPA side.

Pours an off-white lacing head with an amber-golden body. Smells of mellow floral, citrus, and resin hops. Flavor is the same as the aroma. Finish is bitter and sticky. Mellow and sweet, not sure if the bottle has some age.

Similar alc. content to sumpin sumpin which I just tried, but this one is called an IIPA. This one is clear and orange. Pine nose. Very nice malty mouthfeel. This one favors the malt a bit more than some, but is nicely balanced. Nice beer.

Pours a clear copper with a rocky white head. Aroma is both citric and floral hops, and some sweet toffee malt. Flavor is a mildly fruity and malty. Kinda weak for a Imp. IPA. The malt is more enjoyable than the hop profile in this, and let me tell you there isn’t anything special about the malt. A little bit oily on the tongue, and slightly carbonated. Most of the Lagunitas brews I’ve had haven’t impressed me much and this is no different.
