COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
At the height of the heat in the heart of the summer, we felt that the only cure was a raging mouthful of fresh hops and malt. Caution: May remove enamel from teeth. This is Lagunitas IPA pumped up by about 30%!

Bottle. Clear, amber colour with medium off-white frothy head, that sits down slowly and became creamy with nice lacing. Strong, gorgeous hoppy aroma, also cactus, nettle, grass, herbs, grapefruit. Flavor is heavy bitter with some liquor notices. Outstanding beer!

pictoman (100) - British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 18, 2013
Poured from 6 fl oz bottle. Clear orange-ish yellow with full white head. Citrus and light hops on the nose. Has almost a surprising sweet malty caramel taste along with a medium dry hop finish.

fattybladdy (222) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - JUN 17, 2013
Bottle to pint. Pours a clear medium orange with white head. Smells of fresh citrus. Taste is juicy citrus hops, slight caramel and faint bitterness, super clean and refreshing. This is a tasty brew.

badwhale (300) - Bitterville, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 15, 2013
Bottle to glass mug. Pours an amber yellowish color, clear with a thick white head. Has nice citrus nose, and a good citrus / hoppy / piney flavor. Crisp, and the ABV is unsuspecting...

BelvidereIPA (127) - Belvidere, Illinois, USA - JUN 11, 2013
Bomber to a pint glass. Solid IPA. On the piney side. A little too sweet to be a top tier IIPA. Very drinkable.

From bottle 12oz. Pours a dark gold with a fair bit of head that fades quickly but leaves some nice lacing. Taste is very hoppy/fruity, with a bit of bite. Pleasant aftertaste centering on fruity hops. Would be another nice summer beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Not a huge fan of any la gunita brews, but thisbis my favorite so far that I have tried certainly enjoyable has almost a bubblegum sweetness not over powering and well balanced. A safe dipa choice.

Tortman18 (105) - Batavia, Illinois, USA - JUN 8, 2013
Pours a dark copper with a huge, 2 fingers of frothy off white head. Leaves a lot of sticky lacing. Nose is typical of an imperial IPA. Very citrusy and moderately hoppy. A lot of grapefruit and orange. Mouth is very bitter and sweet. A lot of citrus again. Grapefruit, orange and pineapple. The finish has a lot of pine and is very sticky.
