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

Picked this up at Fresh Market to my pleasant surprise. Medium clear amber, decent head fades slowly. Aroma of pine and some citric hops. Also some earthiness and caramel. Flavor essentially matches, with a bit of alcohol showing itself on a slightly sticky finish. I liked this beer. Having said that, Lagunitas is starting to remind me of Unibroue in some ways. I normally like the beers, but a great deal of the releases seem to be plays on the same basic concept. For Unibroue, it is the house yeast flavor that is the backbone of a myriad of "Belgian Strong" ales. For Lagunitas, it is a variety of West Coast hoppy and slightly sticky beers that wander around IPA/IIPA/AS territory. I’m also starting to wonder if I’m not detecting a slight house yeast note. Would have to try blind to know for sure, but there does seem to be a common thread to many, many of the beers.

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.

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.
