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

Whoa! What a good beer. A Red IPA almost sums it up. Good carbonation, dark amber in color, and a sticky head. $4 is killer for this bomber. The taste is a spicy Imperial IPA. I swear I taste a little cinnamon.

Lagunitas Lucky #13 is really good. I think it might be a little overrated but it is still good.

I’m always a sucker for big reds (a fact that my wife tends to notice when we’re around tall, auburn-haired women). But I like Imperial Red Ales, too. This one is a great deal, and my favorite Lagunitas so far. Nice dark auburn pour and finger-thick creamy off-white head. Nice overall balance of monster hops and solid malt backbone. Caramel, malt, grapefruit, a little resin, toffee, a little copper metallic creaminess. Nice.

pours a bright amber color with a white head. aroma is earthy and full of hops. flavor is strong. lots of citrus, hops and malty notes, with the kind of aftertaste that lingers on your tongue, begging for more. a solid beer.

22oz bottle. Pours clear dark reddish amber in color with brown head. Aroma citrus hops and grapefruit. Taste is very well balanced between citrus hops and malt backbone with bitter finsih.

Bottle at the TN April Get Together. Pours copper with off-white head. The aroma is toast, caramel, brown sugar, and slight orange. The flavor is orangey bitterness, brown sugar, caramel, and a little bit of pine. There is a slight bitterness in the finish with a woody aftertaste. Not bad.

I always get kinda stumped when rating a beer like this - It’s good, and definately well made, but really pretty simple. Not that simple is bad, it just doesnt’t give much leeway for descriptions. So, all in all, a really nice beer, with lots of caramel and toffee giving way to a nice, assertive hop bit. Oh, and bonus points for the cool label. Thanks to Springslicker for this one!

Found this bomber in my closet. Must have bought it about a year ago. Pours a hazy coppery orange with a nice fluffy tight head and some solid lacing. Aroma is surprisingly still hoppy, but in a faded and lightly stale sense, but somehow still enjoyable- similar to some of the really old Stone Anniversary releases in the stale but pleasant hop quality- some nutty malts, lgiht sweetness, and some toffee with light soy ox. Flavor is also still on the hoppy side- piney with a sharp bite, smooth medium toast malst and light caramel malts with a nice agressive bitterness. Held up pretty well after a year.
