Lagunitas Imperial Red

Clear, reddish copper appearance with an average size tan head and good lacing. Robust hop aroma replaces the initial notes of caramel malts. Moderately sweet, malty backbone. Taste balanced by fruity, floral hops and a more noticable resinous aftertaste. Medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel. Lingering, bitter finish.

tasting at GDBTF on 10/18/08. amber in color. wonderful hop aroma. nice balance of big hops and smooth malts.

Dark copper color with a medium head. Light toast and caramel malt aroma. Some citrus hop flavors, followed by a caramel and sweet malt taste. Light alcohol is noticeable. Bitter and slightly acidic finish.

Pours a dark ruby amber with an unimpressive short-lasting antique lace head. Aroma is hoppy pine and malt. Sweet toasted malt, maple and sharp hop bitterness. Some grapefruit notes from the hops as well. Very good, but overly dominated by the hops, as is the case with many California micros.

liquorloft tallahassee, aroma is full of earth and flower hops, sweet malt and some fruit. taste is powerful resiny and floral hops with sweet malt to back it all up. a great beer that is very drinkable.

Beautiful red color with a huge tan head. Very hoppy, floral, and fruit aroma. Smooth, hoppy, dry, and clean taste. Very Nice.

Draft at Loki Music Festival. Pours a dark red beer with a dark orangish head. Aroma is citrus and hops. Flavor is a punch of citrus and oil bitter hops. Medium body with notes of the alcohol. Great beer, I enjoyed many of these

Draft at the Federal in Durham, NC. Deep red color with a dense slightly tan head. Caramel and raisin dominate this one with a notable grapefruit finish. Hops make their presence known without being bitter. Solid.
