3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottle was a little past its prime, so I’ll take that into account. Pours a hazy orange with a nice white head. Aroma is a decent balance of pine and citrus notes. Taste is very much the same, although not as bitter as you might expect. Very well-rounded, if somewhat forgettable. Good beer to try once and have occasionally, but I would quickly become bored if I got a 24-pack of this.

Very hoppy and resinous aromas. Very clear bronze with a white head. Taste is strongly bitter but not overpoweringly, with hints of spruce and pine.

Aroma of delightful grapefruit, orange zest and slight pine. Pours orange with a big frothy head. Taste is nice with citrus notes and a nice almost bleachy malt keeping the bitterness at bay. Definitely a go to.

Solid IPA. Really like the aroma of citrus and bubblegum. Flavors of citrus and pine with a nice malt backbone. Another good beer from Lagunitas.

Bottle at Press Box. Pours amber gold with a soapy white head. Aroma is solid grapefruit and orange, both the zest and sweeter juice. Taste is bready, malty and hoppy with a bit of orange and spice notes. Crisp finish.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. 6.2%. No ’best before’ date. Pours a clear golden with an off-white head. Good lacing. Hoppy (lightly citrus) and fruity aroma,well-balanced. Sweetish and slightly tart hop flavour with a fat note and malt in the background. Fruity note as it warms. Bitter hop finish, dry, with a fat note and a remote milky note as it warms. Lingering grassy note. Overall rather good. Hop profile isn’t that outspoken, but it’s well-balanced and consistent. 09.06.13.

Great everyday IPA! Thin white head that stays with the entire beer. Smooth IPA that doesnt have a dry mouth feel. Paired it with a Flor de las Antillas robusto. Great dark copper color.
