Jun 24, 2009 Pours a golden color with little head. The aroma is very fruity, grapefruit, apples. The taste is a nice hoppy bitterness that is a fruity smooth finish. Almost reminds me of 2009 Correction Ale

Jun 24, 2009 Bottle. Medeium high creamy and long lasting off-white head. Clear and good looking amber body. Mild and smooth fruity malty aroma with a nice shot of hops. Fruity malty hoppy flavor plus grass and pine notes. Low carbonation. Long bitter aftertaste. Alcohol contents seem just right.

Jun 23, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Downtown Gourmet in Harrisonburg, VA. Pours a copper color with a very slight haze. Medium head with good head retention and lacing. Huge citrus hops in the aroma... and not much else. Taste is a little more complex... citrus, pine and resiny hops with a bit of a toffee note. Medium bodied. A bit one sided but still highly enjoyable.

Jun 23, 2009 12 oz. 6-pack. Picked up at Greens on Ponce De Leon. Lovely copper orange in color. Fluffy head looks like it is going to fade away, but this beers looks like a great IPA. Even with a few minutes the head is slowly fading away. VERY pungent IPA. Very sharp citrus and pine hop aroma. A must say this beer is pretty damn delicious smelling. I think this is on the level of an imperial/double aroma. Very nice pungent aroma. Nice touch of sweet malt that mixes in with the poignant citrus and pine aroma. AHH delicious smelling. A lovely upfront in your face citrus hop taste that just lingers. The hop flavor actually develops. It is not overly bitter for no reason, or just because it can be. This beer finds a way to give all of that bitter taste without offeding your tastebuds. The sweet taste also balances out the hops. The palate could use some improvement, but I must say, this is one of, if not, my favorite IPA. Simply a masterpiece from Lagunitas. Hopefully, this one doesn’t produce the "bad batch" ever. I would love to have this as a weekly treat.

Jun 23, 2009 Nice amber with a off white head. Aroma is fresh hops, citrus, light caramel. Taste is a nice fresh hop taste, with a more modest bitterness which comes across nice, light caramel, faint alcohol.

Jun 23, 2009 Bottle. Mostly clear slightly dark straw color with a tight white head. Citric hoppiness that is very much reminds me of fresh cut navel oranges. The taste is sweeter than most Lagunitas IPAs, but still has a slightly peppery finish. Not a bad session IPA.
