Lagunitas New Style Old Ale

Brown in color but somewhat Amber in taste. Crystal and caramel malt forward. Toasted bread and earthy notes. Odd yeast character. Semi sweet round mouthfeel. Decent finish.

Amber coloured body with a thin tan head. Aroma of caramel, malt and mushrooms. Light to Medium-bodied; Decent mild earthy flavours with some sweetness, but not much. Overall, not as great as expected, but good to try, as this is a rariety. Thanks very much to Phil (haddon90) who gave me this bottle long ago and I kept it for something special. I sampled this 65 cL bottle on 15-May-2004 at the May RB Party in Toronto, Ontario.

Some spice and some sweet barleywine-like characteristics hit me from this basic brown brew. Seemed kinda like a nut-brown ale as I got into it - earthy and caramel and malty right through the slightly too sweet finish. Not bad - cheers Jeremy.

If I’m going to brew a brown, this is what I want it to taste like. This is a bottle of pure goodness. Nice sweet malt taste with an all so subtle hop bite. Yeast, bready, chewy and everything I love. I love you guys.

clear copper, white head. aroma of honey, earth, and toasted bready malt. flavour stars malty and sweet but pithy bitterness takes over a bit too quicky. not bad.

Amber in colour. Aroma of caramel malt and some hops. Flavour of light malt, mild hops, some caramel. Light body. Finishes slightly sweet, dry. Not bad.

Malty nose, amber, with a small white head. Soft malt flavour, backed by a nice hop aftertaste. Light bodied, sweet. Fair. Thanks Jeremy.

Dark amber , rather small crown . Aroma had woody , sweet notes . Medium bodied, slightly earthy. Pleasant brew.
