Lagunitas Nuevo Noir

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Ale
Petaluma, California USA

this stuff is the bomb! Nice spicy/nutmeg aroma. Bursting with great flavors, and very smooth, slight dry aftertaste.

i THOUGHT THIS was an awesome version of a brown ale. Dark brown with a reasonable head. Great malt and hop flavors along thje palate. Notes of nuts and caramel.

Lagunitas did a fantastic job with this entry. What a wonderfully pleasant brew. That being said, I tend to prefer wheaty, malty beers that have a shade of sweetness. My favorite local brewhouse, Hollingshead deli, has been recommending this beer, so I decided to give it a whirl. Phenomenal deep brown color with a nice, dirty head. Flavor is a creamy, yeasty malt base that has a hint of sweetness laden with a sugary creme brulee finish. No unpleasant aftertaste at all. I’m definitely buying more of this one. Yum!

Big bottle, discovered during latest west coast tour. These guys are on to something: big earthy, sweaty, yeasty aroma. Fine and delicate carbonation, extra soft mouth feel. All this brown needs is a bit more hooch.

I always look forward to the new creations coming from Lagunitas, and this didn not disapoint. Rich spice flavor with some slight coffee, chocolate, caramel and cola flavors. Very flavorful, and really enjoyable. I’d like to see them kick up the ABV and turn this into an over the top strong, that would be a killer Christmas brew.

Pours wtih a deep amber body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet, malty and spicey wtih a slight hop note. Full bodied, warming and tingly.

Another amazing effort from this brewery. Smooth and rich with that classic Belgian taste, but with an California twist, it still remains true to style but also very true to the way that Lagunitas put their twist of flavor and imparts uniqueness. SOme nice yeasty fresh bread notes along with an almost wine-esque mouthfeel very smooth and rich, with a nice mellow candi sugar flavor that really maks the alchohol component very well. Stcky finish and good right to the last drop

The beer pours to a dark mahogany body with a thin whispy off-white head. The aroma is brown sugar and malty and spicy and English walnuts and cranberry. The flavor is like the best brown ale I’ve ever had. Nutty and malty. Plus, it has some spicy belgian characteristics. Very balanced and tasty. The palate is smooth, medium full, and spicy. I could drink lots of this.
