Commercial Description:
This Special Ale is, in reality, a reconstructed exhumation of the very first ale that we ever brewed way, way back, in 1993. Brewed with a big head, a muscular malty thorax, a silky texture & all strung together with a hoppy sweet nerve sack... yum. O.G. 1.072 84.2 IBU

Clear amber orange apperance with an ok head. Hops and red fruits dominates the aroma. Some bready and light peppery notes in there also. Fruity and flower hoppy flavor with a good bitterness and a malty sweetness backing it up. Has a nice little bite on the tongue. Flavor full and nicely balanced. I like Lagunitas, all their beers are good and generally it is just a cool brewery.
