22oz bottle: Floral hops and rich wet malt in the nose. This would have been pretty ordinary if not for the nice crisp hop balance. The flavor strikes a nice harmony between the grainy sweet malt and the subdued hop bitterness. The body is medium and the mouth feel is mellow and smooth. Great drinkability. I’m glad I still have another in the fridge.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle from Beerbiker!
Deep red in color with a dense light brown head. Loads of sweet grainy malt aromas along with soaked bread and as in every other Lagunital i’ve had, lots of flowery hops. Sweet caramel and nutty flavor again with plenty of bitterhops. Great!

Aug 21, 2008 Chris_o’s GBBF Shindig 08. American IPA aroma. Quite thick and intense. Sweet clean malt and lots of hops. Some pleasant fruit in the finish. Not my thing, but OK. No big objections.

Aug 12, 2008 In short: A well malted juicy fruity tasty sweet kind-of-IPA. Excellent.
How: Bottle 12oz, drank fresh
The look: Clear redish-copper body topped by a medium beige leaving good lacing
In long: Lots of fruity hops on the nose. Super satisfying mouthfeel, a bunch of red fruits (including strawberries!) wrapped in luscious caramel. Malt bill kind of reminded me of rye-based beers. Plenty of juicy fruity hops for a smooth but tasty bitterness. Never harsh, somewhat sweet, like a fruity dessert. The type of beer I’d like to drink more often, if I wasn’t so damn busy drinking other beers.

Aug 8, 2008 Pours light red with a moderate white head. Very hoppy and malty, a very good balance between the two. A liitle more malty upfront with a good lingering hop flavor in the aftertaste. This beer tatse stronger than it is and does not go down very easy due to high maltieness. Very well rounded solid beer!!
