On Tap. Amber/orange pour with a little carbonation and rich sweet and matly aroma. Flavor was rich malts, some brown sugar, citrus, vanilla and some boozy hoppy warmness on the finish. Well done!

The aroma is sharp citrusy hops. The pour is orange hued, with a medium off white head. This is a fulll bodied beer with strong hops, and big bitter bite. The malts are mellow and subtle. The Hops bring a noticeable character of citrus and pine. Definitely not a beer to drink lots of. very good.

Growler from Big Z’s. Pours a semi hazy amber/brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, grassy and citrus hops. Flavor is sweet malt, grapefruit, and citrus (lemon) with a grassy hops finish. Lots and lots of sweet malt in this one. A bit heavy on the palate. Overall a good ASA, just hard to get through a whole pint. 7/4/8/4/14 (3.7/5)

Dark amber in color... Sweet hoppy aroma that reminds me of dogfish’s 90 minute... More malty than the 90 minute and not as bitter, sweetness is dominate throughout the flavor, palate is minimally bitter... Another nice beer from Lagunitas.

Weird sweetness here. Probably Belgium bent. Raw green hops. Smooth caramely and syrupy. Tastes like a Belgium crossed with copper ale. Strange but it grows on you.

Not sure if this came from Steve E or Brian R at one of our tastings. Clear deep gold with a sturdy off whtie head. Lots of hops in the aroma, pine and citrus most notably, and there is also a substantial malt contribution with caramel, toffee, and some light stone fruit. Lightly resinous on the palate, with some stickiness as well. healty dose of caramel sweetness up front, with the hops struggling to keep up, leaving a mils sweetness that lingers in the finish.

Poured from the bottle into a glass to drink. The beer had a dark, amber brown color with a medium, foamy white head. Its aroma featured a toasty, chocolate malt scent with a mixing of some grainy hops and touches of pine and raisin. The flavor was toasty and sweet, with malty and chocolate tastes and a bit of sour and bitter components. The beer had a full, fizzy body and was pretty smooth and thick in the mouth. Definitely a quality ale.
