Lagunitas Sonoma Farmhouse Hop Stoopid

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Petaluma, California USA

22oz bomber served in a shaker pint glass. Pours a clear gold with about a finger of tight bubbled white head. Big hop aroma, pine, citrus. Also some sweet malt. Taste is what you would expect from a beer that touts its 102 IBUs! Had a bit of a green, vegetal flavor from the hops that lowered my score a bit. Good malt base for all the hops. Drying mouth pucker from the hops. Medium bodied. Solid DIPA, but when you consider the price ($4 for a bomber) it’s a winner.

Bomber. Great pour, lovely snow white pillowly head. Nose of bitter flowers, pine and citrus. Very clean bitter hop taste. Good finish.

What a hoppy nose! Sweet hop aroma with a little grapefruit on a deep inhale. Super hop aroma doesn’t lie -- big hops on the tongue, but a nice, clean finish. Well put together.

750mL bottle. Pours amber with nice thick off white head. Strong substantial sweet hop aroma. Nice hop body and taste. Very strong contender.

650 ml bottle. Olrange-gold with a ring of head. Huge grapefruit and some pine in the aroma - not much else. Big grapefruit in the flavour - as much hop flavour as any beer I’ve tried. Hops are balanced by some rather simple malt sweetness. It’s all about the hops. Bitterness is there in the end, but is not overwhelming. Very full body. Great beer for the hop-lover.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Central Market in Mill Creek, WA. Pours a BEAUTIFUL amber color with a foamy white head. Flavor: Bold hops, with a sweet finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a big foamy off-white head that lingers a while. Sweet and crisp hops aroma, with a lot of juicy citrus, and a bit of grass, herbs, and malt. Taste starts juicy, with citrus, sugar, and malt and then picks up more bitter pine hops and grass. Lingering bitterness. Very nice.

Beautifully well done IIPA here. Wow. Citrus sweet honey hops that lingerrr. Unimpressive looking in the glass but once it’s in your face its like, ...; INYOURFACEAH! Very crisp and fresh tasting, I would like to have this on tap, I feel like it would be cleaner. Super truculently sweet, though it holds onto its dryness in a fashionable way in that immediately after the swallow the exhale is rough and biting with the hops hoisting their swords in the air and taking over your tongue like little taste-bud pirates. Argh. And the malts are bready and not caramelly to sweeten up the hops too much.Stoopid!, with a PhD in bitter.
