Lagunitas A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Petaluma, California USA

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow-golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet malt and pine hops. Fruits, bit of spices and liquorice as well, although fairly faint. A tad cloying. Flavour is sweet malt and pine hops as well. A bit cloying. Finish is hoppy, but not very bitter. Slightly oily palate. Not bad, but I’ve had better. 15-08-09.

Shared a 12 oz. with MereLikesBeer. This stuff is great. Pours a light amber, with small head. The aroma is of hops, with some great orange and grapefruit notes. I love a good citrusy IPA. This actually reminds me alot of my go to, Two Hearted. Really epic stuff. Cheers!

I shared a bottle of this with BeerBaron617, and am disappointed a bit about not having my own bottle..or for that matter, several more bottles. This beer is pretty darn great. It poured a nice clear dark yellow with a thin white head. It’s aroma is very sweet, orange juice with maybe grape juice too. It’s delicious! Taste is really great, oranges immediately, very citrus. Tasty!!!!!!!

12 oz bottle. Pours a very light golden with a moderate white head- some sticky lace and mod carbonation. Aroma is typical of lagunitas these days- tons of dank resinous tropical fruit type hops- mango is pretty dominant with some light wheat hints. Flavor is mango- tropical fruits, orange zest, some mint and pine- very clean some light crackery malts, and a slightly strange slight slick and almost astringent aftertaste. Pretty good overall- just something off about the mouth feel and finish.

12oz bottle-pours a little rich white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is citrus-orange/pineapple, some malt. Taste is citrus-orange/pineapple, sweet caramel grain/malt, some alcohol. Medium body. Soft/OK carbonation. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing this.

Clean golden amber pour with a thin white head. Full nose of grassy and floral hops. Same in the flavor although a bit more subtle. Dry finish.

12 oz bottle from Oak Tree. Pours a clear amber/orange body with an average to small sized mostly white foamy head that leaves some lace but nothing to bump up the score. The aroma is like someone dropped a shot of pineaplejuice into a fruit cocktail and then forgot that there was an open beer in the vicinity to meld the fruity aromas with some slight malty beery ones. Body is very very thin with average carbonation. Flavor is fruity, lots of pineapple..peach..tangerine to name a few, slight hoppy grassy notes as well. This beer is best sipped on a very hot day outside and it will be far more appreciated then some lingering contemplation like this is a barrel aged Impy. Solid IPA despite it’s thin body though.

Bottle. Copper/amber pour. Light head. Aroma is malty and hoppy. Pretty standard fare for an IPA all in all. Flavor is balanced between caramel malt and resinous/citrus hops. Ok.
