3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Dexters. Filtered copper-orange-brown. Thin, steady off-white head. Pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a Lagunitas IPA. Solid piny citrus hop bill. Cleanish toasty malt. Overall pretty clean and drinkable. Medium to full bodied, quite sessionable. OK, but sort of redundant and tame.

On tap @ Barley’s in Asheville.
Pour: Orange, amber hue. Thick retained foam collar.
Aroma: Zesty, floral notes. Citrus and cedar present.
Taste: Crisp with a medium body. Hops and caramel flavor from the malt work well together.
Overall: Infinitely quaffable. Outstanding with pizza slices from Barley’s.

On tap at Lagunitas during SF Beer Week, what a week! It pours crystal clear copper with near white head. The aroma has some malt sweetened citrus notes and then crisp spicy hops and then some grapefruit into the end of the draw. The taste has a mix of citrus hops and spicy hops and then delivers crisp yumminess. It goes from flavor hops and picks up only modest hop bitterness to midway. It ends pretty smooth and somewhat sweet. Yummers.

Appearance was honey copper with lasting 2 finger rocky white head, loads of lacing. Aromas was hops upfront but mild, sweet buttery sugar malts where subtle. Palate was beautiful smooth creamy carbonation with balanced complex body. The finish was a beauty, malts and hoppy lasting finish.@Brewfest ,a wonder...

Tap at Redlight. Copper pour with a thick white head. Huge resiny, citrus pine aroma very fresh. Very resiny taste lots of hops with lots of citrus pine and a crisp malt body. Damn good.

On tap at the brewery. Good, but compared to the fresh Hop Stoopid and Sucks on tap? Sad comparison, amongst amazing competition. Pours with a clear, but very deep golden hued body with a white head. Good lace. Aromas are of brown sugar, tamarind, floral, citrus, rose water, cantaloupe and herbal hops. Flavors are very malty. Too malty for my tastes. Brown sugar, caramel, floral, grainy with a mild citrus hop character. Lowish carb. Not a bad beer per say, but not great either. But next to Sucks and fresh Hop Stoopid, this beer, well, sucks! I am all for experimentation, but if a lower rate of experimentation allows for "Holiday Leftovers" aka Sucks year round...I’d be fine with that.

A very rare find here in southern wisconsin here at uncle mikes pub on tap. As others have said copper colored malty and somewhat fruity this beer has a subtle yet palpable hop backbone. Unique and incomparable.

Tasted on draft on 1/5/12 on draft at Big Star. Pours a clear, copper orange, with an average white head that leaves a nice layer of even lace. The nose is a pleasant (and classic) blend of caramelized bread malt, with citrus and resin bitter hops. The flavor is the same, nicely balanced, blend of caramel bread malt up front, moving to the citrus peel and resin bitter hops. The body is medium with average carbonation and a long, resin bitter and caramel malt backed finish.
