Lagunitas Maximus

nice amber color with a cream head that dissipates into a thin head. huge notes of oranges and fresh hops. very easy on the palate with a malty flavor that finishes with a great slightly bitter hop note.

Lovely orange hued beer with white head. Hoppy nose and a bit of citrus. Some sweetness in there, probable higher ending gravity/ higher mash temp than my preference for a 2IPA. Shades of sauterne-like marmalade on the palate. Not intensely hopped, and the malt tends to dominate. Bloody good beer, I just prefer a drier, hoppier 2IPA myself.

In the bottle from an undisclosed location.
Pours dark amber, almost red, with a small off-white head and clear as can be. Little to no lacing. Good bitterness. Not super powerful. I would expect a little more bitterness and flavor from an Imperial. Stronger than the standard Lagunitas IPA, but not by much. Good malt structure and hop profile. Citrus and spicy cinnamon notes. Signature Lagunitas IPA "soy sauce" flavor. Original and enjoyable but not my first choice.

Wow, pours my favorite color for an IPA. A nice caramel color with big floral bouquet. flavor is spot on, the hops attack your tongue but in a good way. Nice notes of sweet caramel and spicy hops. Really a perfect representation of the glorious IPA.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a lovely light tan head, nice golden color, nose was resinous, piney, and very slightly floral, initial taste not particularly big, finishing with nice hop spice and then bitterness, with a superb mouth feel. The nose was perhaps a bit monochromatic, and a bit short on floral aroma.
