3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20UPDATED: JAN 29, 2003 Eh.. Not fantastic but not bad. I had expected this to be another west coast hop monster and it just didn't show up. Sort of reminds me of Quail Springs IPA. Sure the hops are there but at a subdued level. A thoroughly enjoyable brew but not an "In your face IPA". I still have to try Stone Ruination and Dogfish 90 minute both in my fridge.

Bouteille 22oz. De couleur ambrée et claire. Nez de houblon fruité (agrumes, léger d’abricots), citrique, moyennement herbeux, légèrement floral et résineux, malté de caramel doux, léger de pain avec des notes de biscuits. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux notes huileuses et résineuses. Goût moyennement amer de houblon citrique, fruité (agrumes, léger d’abricots), légèrement herbeux et floral (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de malt léger-moyen sucré (caramel doux) aux faibles traces rôties avec un léger goût de pain et des notes de biscuits puis en finale l’amertume de houblon se veut plus herbeuse, moyennement résineuse et légèrement asséchante. Post-goût long et aux notes sèches, moyen-amer de houblon citrique, moyennement fruité (zeste d’agrumes, notes de pelures d’abricots), résineux et léger-moyen herbeux avec des traces de malt sucré.

Bue en fût dans un pub irlandais près de Time’s Square. Belle IPA dorée qui offre un nez puissant de houblons floraux et d’agrumes. En bouche, l’acidité est puissante, le houblon aussi. Une IPA qui respecte toutes les règles du style. Les amateurs de houblon ne pourront certainement pas se tromper. Une bière que je rachèterai sans doute lors de mon prochain séjour à New York! Cheers!

Pours light amber with white head. Aroma is pine, citrus, bread. Flavor is good, hoppy with some malt, citrus, and pine notes as well. This is a solid I.P.A

When I think of good, solid IPA, I think of Lagunitas. Not the best one out there, but still way ahead of mediocre IPAs. It has a complex hoppy taste and aroma, and displays typical IPA bitterness, still well balanced.

Bottle from Voldby Koebmandsgaard, DK - Orange colour, with a small white head. This has a good overall citrus fruity taste/aroma but with the large amount of hops used here found it abit messy/nondescript on the palate. Good still, just not as much as i was expecting.

Looks decent. Aroma is hops. Taste is the same with a mild bitterness. Not much fruitiness here. Overall, a nice mild ipa.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottom line....this is what an IPA was meant to be. Light, flavorful, citrusy, pine with a great finish. Perfect balance of hops, malt and alcohol. My go to summer beer.

Yellow-orange pour with a white head. Aroma of citrus and hops. Flavor is mild with more citrus, lemon, and hops coming through. Sweet.

golden looks. Some pine, grape in the aroma. LONG bitter finish. Excellent sample of the style

Lagunitas IPA is a honey colored pour with a thin head of medium size white bubbles. Nose is a heady mix of spruce and floral hops. Body is fizzy and quite a bit lively with small bubbles. Taste is a nice blend of hop punch and malt base. Finishes with good bitter hop happiness.
