Lagunitas Lucky #13

Sample @ RNH: nice hoppy feel, unfortunately some metallic tastes coming up... Some caramel, nice carbonation and esters... Unexpected grassy finish.

Pours a Dark Brown with reddish hue Aroma is perfect mix of citrus hops and carmel malts. Flavor is hoppy. alcohol is well hidden .well done

aroma is of snapping, brittle crunching brown toffee. appearance is dark amber morphing to ruby. flavor is of a perfect balance of aforementioned toffee and bittering hops that do their occupation without overt aromatic notes of their own. some fruits come to the table in flashes, like a dream...plums and cherries; dancing. wonderful example of the US’s own style of ’BIG beers’, aka ASA

Pours a deep brownish red with an inch off white head. Aroma is big citrus hops with a little malt trying to shine through. Flavor is again the hops with a good bit of caramel malt.

Bottle. Pours a ruby tinged clear brown with a medium to large lightly tanned beige head. Big pine and light citrus with a lot of malt behind it and some toasted biscuit. A bit thin, malty and almost a touch acrid, though this may be an older bottle as it’s picked up a bit of old malt and plum/prune sort of flavors. Finishes with a big strong bitter that’s worth some of the other little flaws.

Bottle sample. Clear amber pour with a medium beige head. Orangy hop aroma with some malt. Bitter citrus hop flavor with a nice malt balance.

A red beer with a 1 finger head. A nice hoppy aroma with pine, & fruit. Taste was fruity, hoppy, & very smooth with the 8.3% ABV very well hidden. A good beer

Bottle. Pours a reddish brown with compact white head. Aroma is mostly hoppy and flavor is malty and slightly sweet with caramel but still toasty and stuff. Lots of citrus and piney hops. Finish is hoppy and all that. Good beer I think. What the heck.
