3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 elihapa (1385) - Honolulu, USA - JUL 21, 2009
Bomber, so excited I finally get to try this before it disappears entirely! Pours clear and golden, with a medium sized white head. Good lasting lacing. Aroma has a fruity, floral tint, with grapefruit and lemon zest notable. Flaor holds a firm lemony sway, with pale and crystal malt. Nice hoppy accents without much sweetness, which is a change for sweet ASA-specialist Lagunitas. Finish is dry, with citrus flavors and a clean bitterness. This is quite nice, actually, sort of like a toned-down Hop Stoopid. It stays light throughout, masking alcohol as well as minimizing distracting sweetness. Hops are in focus, and made easily quaffable.

Wish I drank this earlier. Nice orangey citrus notes and some chewy caramel. Hints of bitterness still apparent. Good stuff

Pours a clear golden orange color with a white head. Still surprisingly hoppy. Good citrus notes, mostly citrus peel, as well as some pine and floral hop aromas. A bit of sweet and bready malt. The flavor is moderately sweet, but some of that is sweet citrus hop flavor. A bit of orange peel and some pine bitterness. Light floral and grass flavors as well.

650mL bomber poured a hazy golden color with modest white head and some nice lacing. Aroma of floral and grassy hops. Taste is nicely balanced between hoppy bitterness and the sweet malty body. A very nice IPA that I enjoyed having the opportunity to taste.

bottle, a bit old, copper colored pour. caramel malt driven aroma with some hop aroma. present. taste is sweet caramel maltiness, dulled down bitterness, due tio age of beer i’m sure. Flavor has diminished a bit, but im sure this was a solid beer in its prime

Sehr hopfig-süßer Geruch, etwas beißend, armoatisch. Streng hopfiger Antrunk, wenig süß und herb-trocken. Leicht alkoholisch, im Mittelteil etwas nimmt der Hopfen zudem etwas ab, das Bier ist trotzem relativ aromatisch, leider auch sehr trocken. Zum Ende erneut süßlich.

A- pours a delightful, very light copper color with a great white head that lingers for a while. Great lacing.
S- beautiful hops immediately, almost reminds me of christmas. Clean hop aroma.
T- Initial taste is almost fruity, very citrusy, very grapefruit. The hops are obviously present, and are balanced perfectly.
M- hits the palate dead on, yet slightly confusing my tastebuds at first, but finishes very smooth. Leaves the mouth feeling a little dry, but very warming.
D- If you love IIPAs, get this while you can, I was lucky to get a keg of it for my bar. Pint after pint it never gets old. Warning...this was an older review from one site to another.

Sometimes cheaper bombers doesn’t mean subpar beer. That’s the case with this gem. I think I paid $3 for a bomber of this double IPA and it was very very good.
A-Yellow clear pour with a 2+ head with a good retention
S-citrus and floural hops. Fresh grass smell
T-Fresh citrus and hops with a great lasting bitterness
M-light and carbonated
D-Very drinkable and a great all around IPA.
