May 3, 2008 Bottle... Poured red with a foamy white head. Aroma of twigs, malt and a dab of hops. Carbonation is well present with a constant sizzle on the tongue. Alcohol was definitly there in the flavor but was controlled by the dense malt flavors. Other flavors of hazelnuts and pine.
Finish is foamy and sweet.

May 3, 2008 Updated: Oct 27, 2009clear orange color with a small, but lacy head. Smells almost exactly like a pine tree, lots of hops, which are evident in the taste as well, with some citrus coming through.

May 2, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of bstill. Thanks, Brian! Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; khaki head with excellent retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Basic sugar, earthy and citrus hoppiness in the aroma; straightforward. Chewy medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of residual sugar, some astringent hops (earthy, citrus); a typical Lagunitas ASA profile; lengthy, sugary finish; astringent hops and bland sugary maltiness.

May 2, 2008 Updated: May 3, 2008Pours a dark amber color w/ a tall lasting head. Sticky lacing w/ a fluffy ring and partial canopy. Strong aromas of citrus rind. Full nectar w/ soft and creamy residual effers. Nice! Strict hops balance a sturdy malt body creating a superlative sense of equilibrium within this specimen’s overall makeup. It’s beautiful I tell you. For extreme red this one pulls off the unexpected balancing act w/ only a mild sweetness factor. The hop component really digs in and scars the user like aspirin. Caramel, leather, and citrus interwoven perfectly. The finish is long w/ gobs of asprin hop fulfillment. Highly recommended.

May 1, 2008 Updated: Sep 23, 2008We haaave a winnerrrr!!! I haven’t had a beer this drinkable in recent memory. Doesn’t overpower you with ridiculous hop content, doesn’t load you down with head-hurt "buzz" like with a Barley Wine, it’s just a classic strong Red with ample hints of rye. An interesting aroma of rye accented by chipotly-ey peppery something; the point is that it’s accented with a sharpness that I rarely get in an aroma. The point is that it’s interesting and keeps you sniffing out of the bottle, but of course you get impatient and pour. Long story short, much like this Delius I’m listening to ("A Song of Summer," segueing into "Irmelin Prelude"), its understated subtlety brings forth a sweet beauty. An outstanding offering from Lagunitas at just over $3/bomber. Why does it have to be only seasonal?

May 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, and sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma with notes of pine. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate to strong amount of bitterness and well hidden alcohol. Very good.
