UPDATED: JAN 9, 2022 Cask Stillage at GBBF 2011, Earl's Court 03/08/2011 Fruity hop aroma. Golden amber coloured fruity and hoppy with a pine flavour. A hint of dryness in a bitter finish.

UPDATED: MAR 28, 2020 Bottle (Systembolaget Are, Sweden) as 5.9% abv.. Clear amber color. Malty, grainy, herbal hops, sweetish in aroma/taste. Old school.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2020 12oz bottle at The Bier Stein, Eugene, OR on 10/06/2008. I think this was the first Lagunitas Beer I had. Nice and bitter, with herbal and piney notes.

This was the last of Binny's stock (Lincoln Park) that they were getting rid of on the build-your-own-6-pack section.... and then I held it for a few months. To me, the hops were still fresh... just too bitter. Seemed to follow the classic West Coast lines. Interesting to compare to the new varietal.

Bottle. Golden color, lush white foam. Aroma: nice, flower-citrus hops, fruits, a little grassy. Taste: very clean, a light malt, citrus, some fruits, very drinkable.

bottle @ home clear pale, white head drinkable pale ale nothing special for thirsty people

Draft notes. Hazy straw with hoppy nose, floral, sprucey, black peppery, bitter and hoppy finish.

Pours clear golden with a nice porcelain head. Aroma presents hoppy and fruity notes, more IPA than pale ale, but with a nice malty undertone. Flavor bursts with hoppy tones accompanied by malty and fruity notes. Body is firm and fizzy. Get barking for one!

"a nice crisp malty backbone and bitter hop aroma greet you. body and look is average, but IMHO the flavor and aroma are a step above. a good american pale."

Golden with thin head. Aroma of citrus, pine and orange. Taste of Spice, citrus, hoppy, malt. Enjoyable ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
