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

A refreshing taste that is well orchestrated from sniff to after-taste. A good anniversary release

From a bomber into a pint glass. Pours a very pretty blondish copper. Plenty of fluffy white head which never quits! Aroma of flowery hops, brown sugar and yeast. Mouthfeel is refreshingly lighter than I would have thought. Not like a lager, but mid range for a beer of this type. Taste is of honey, pine, cough syrup, alcohol, mint and some bread. Of course it tastes like most other Lagunitas beers. I’m seeing a pattern that they all taste very similar. Must be the yeast or something... but I’m not feeling the similarities. I want variety dammit! A pretty solid beer. I won’t buy again but I’m glad I bought it.

Another winner from Lagunitas! Beautiful aroma of citrus and bready malt with a nice cap that lingers through the finish. Speaking of the finish, lots of black pepper on the back end, lots of citrus and sweet malt that Lagunitas is known for on the front side. Somewhat similar to Little Sumpin, Sumpin but smoother and more piney on the backside. Can’t wait for my bride to try this!

Strong aroma of citrus, pine. The taste is strong citrus, pine - amarillo. Not overly bitter, but very powerful. The alcohol is as well hidden as any beer.

Aged nearly one year. Got this at the end of summer 2010 @ Juilo’s Liquors Westborough, MA. Pours dark amber with off-white head, nice lacing. Sweet hoppy aroma with lots of complex malts. Thick malty flavor, mostly caramel and some toffee. Citrus and Earthy hop flavors are big in the aftertaste. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Alcohol is not at all notable. Nice bitter finish as would be expected from most Lagunitas brews. I got to say, I like the Hairy Eyeball much better. And call me crazy but it doesn’t taste much different from the Undercover Shutdown ale I just drank 30 minutes ago! I almost feel like I’m drinking the same beer I just rated…. I won’t pick up a bottle of this again.

Wow - delicious hop aroma as soon as the bottle’s opened. Pours clear amber with nice cushion of white head. Bit of citrus, lots of tropical fruit. Once in the mouth the serious malt backbone speaks up - quite sweet actually. Malts fall on the lighter side of the spectrum - cereal, toast that’s come out of the toaster after a couple seconds. Then it melds with the hops - tropical fruit, citrus, florals. Hoppy finish. Warming alcohol behind it all but never dominating the show. This is a very good beer indeed.

draft at Jack Rose...hides alcohol way too well. Pours looking light brown with modest white lacing. nose is light and palate is supremely well balanced. There’s a lot of hops in the front, but the finish is not rough at all, rather mild and smooth. Very good.

Sample at tasting room. Amber with cream head. Fruit, nuts, caramel and pine. Little thin but decent carbonation, mild sweetness.
