Commercial Description:
From the first day of the first mash of the first recipe in the first space to this oasis 13 years on the road; We have worked hard to walk in the footsteps of our hero brewers. The Esteemed brewer of California's best Pale Ale, the Noble Brewer of the planet's only legal Steam Beer, and Oregon's Rebel Brewer from Newport. Thirteen years down the road, we have found our own voice as brewers but our admiration for the Great Ones has not dimmed one bit. If we walked well down the hero's path ourselves, perhaps we too have been an inspiration for others. Beer is a Bronze Age business and we feel honored to have left our footprints on its path into history, at the same time leaving our flavors on your buds. Thanks for your trust over the years and we hope you enjoy this specially brewed Hi-Gravity Auburn offering. Beer Speaks. People Mumble! O.G. 1.085 76.92 IBU

Pours a thick frothy off white head with some spotted laceing left along the sides. The color is a clear amber color and has a very floral hops aroma. The nose is kind of earthy and there are some notes of caramel malt. The initial flavor is nice and bitter with a nice bite on the tip of your lips. You can really taste the caramelized malt with that sugar that coats the side walls of your mouth. Overall it has a nice flavor with a great balance of bitterness and palatable flavor.

Pours a somewhat dark amber with a slight reddish tint. There is a sticky, sugary, sweetness in the taste and a lingering caramel-hop flavor.

Smells chewy, chalky, woodsy, and heavy. Pours a bright red, with tan lacing. Decent carbonation and mouthfeel, and is less chewy than I expected after the aroma. Tastes much better than it smells too, and is nicely balanced.

Bomber. A great beer, plain and simple. Tastes like a cross between Brown Shugga and Censored Kronik Copper Ale. Nice sweet honey, brown sugar, citrus, and hop flavors are present and eager. Lingering bitter palate, with slight esoghageal burn due to the well-masked 8.3%. Excellent overall. Will be looking for again. Thanks Lagunitas.

Well hidden ABV on this Strong. Big PNW hop nose. Flavors are pine and grapefruit with equally robust caramel/toffee profile. Quite a nice surprise and will look for it again.

Hazy dull dark amber. Chewy caramel, earth, and woody slightly oxidized malt on the nose. Chewy, earthy, lagunitasy character. Very bitter and dry, and also rather chewy.

Bottle. Translucent copper pour. Tall sticky tan head leaves spiderweb like lacing in the glass.Nose is citrusy hops, caramel, sweet malts, and some earthiness and nuttiness. Taste is strong citrus laden hops, soft pine, chewy caramel, and sweet maltiness. There’s more of the earthiness coming through here as well as spicy hop notes. Body is medium-full and rather chewy. The carbonation is dense but creamy and this beer just goes down easy. Bit of lingering bitterness to it. Finish is more chewy malts and caramel, spicy hops, citrus fruits and some nutty flavors. Rather nice!
