Nov 20, 2008 Pours deep amber with thin but foamy head. Very nice hop presence in the nose that precedes the taste. Excellent balance of malt and hop with some nice citrus, florals, and caramel. Somewhat gritty on palate for whatever reason but thin mouthfeel. Must be the carbonation. Initial hop punch that lingers nicely. Definitely one of my faves from lagunitas and a great anniversary ale.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle thanks to Turdfurguson. Nice Imperial Red. Pours with a large, foamy, off-white head and a clear bronze body. Head leeaves good lacing. Aroma of caramel, hops, brown sugar and dark fruit. Taste is hoppy with some caramel, a bit of pepper and raisins. A bit on the fizzy side of things.

Nov 19, 2008 (bottle - 22 oz) Rich red color with a very thick white head. Aroma is nice and hoppy with a good citrus hint at the end. Some caramel malts. Flavor begins with a nice citrus flavor rolling around the tongue that gives way quickly to a very floral and hoppy middle and a slightly dry and bitter hop finish. Bitterness lingers for a while.

Oct 27, 2008 22 oz bomber. Poured a deep reddish mahogany color, very hazy. Thick head with good lacing also. Aroma was a sugary malt, with hops and yeast present as well. Flavor was great, with hops and malt up front, and a nice floral finish. Wow. I need more of this.

Oct 26, 2008 Pours deep red with a nice head that left a good lace. The aroma was full of woodsy hops and a roasty malt. The mouthfeel was nice and full, and it immediately hits the palate with bold herby and grassy hops, and a nice roasted malt flavor. Left a nice lasting hop flavor and bitterness. Definitely a great beer, and one to have again.

Oct 24, 2008 Bomber. Heavy citric and muddy pine hop presence with caramel, brown sugar, light berries, and leathery earthy cherry. Light, translucent copper body with a gorgeously rocky, creamy beige head. Watery body, strongly bitter but without astringency, refreshing but not quite quenching. Strongest caramel with fainter hay and some nice Pilsner notes, citrus damped down but there’s a nice musty sweat, even if reduced to an accent. Slightly warming though with utterly no taste of alcohol, and the weighty earthy hop anchor this brewer loves to chain to my neck. Like their other products, aggressive yet harmonious; very tasty, but not terribly memorable.
