Lagunitas Imperial Red

Draft at Mahaffey’s. I think this is the first American Strong Ale I have ever had, and I am starting to get an understanding of the style. This is a hopped up red. Pours with a small head and lots of lacing. It has a mild bitter finish and is really well balanced. The alcohol is masked well. Recommended.

Bottle at Ølbaren. Clear red/brown - offwhite head. Bread, high hoppy, resin, grassy, red berries, sweetness, roasted, bisquit, citrus, light flowery. High dryness. Very nice and very well brewed !!!
