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

Bottled (at ChrisO’s). Clear orange color, small beige head. Grainy, glueish fruity rye-bready aroma. Fruity: pear and banana, alcoholic, hints of grainy rye. Quite sweet and simple.

Bottled. Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is sweet hops, sugar, mild wooden and some toffee. Flavour is quite much the same, a rather sweet thing.Mild spicyness and some alcohol as well.

This is nice and rich, with a good deal of hops. This is just a big, dense, balanced, delicious beer that doesn’t lend itself to being picked apart through over-analysis.

Dark amber color with a nice rich head. Very smooth drinkable beer with a citrus and hop flavor followed by a nice bit of malt to balance at the end. Very smooth beer for the style and ABV.

Very piney aromas set this beer off, with a nice balance of recipricating malts, a lit bit of alcohol, and a little hop resin. The appearance is absolutely awesome, use the right glass (snifter or trappist) the body is a very deep brown color, with a huge massive fluffy off-white head. The head dissipates slowly leaving little foam clouds attached to the side of your glass. The foam dissipates settles on the top of the brown body. The flavor is much more relaxed than the aroma, but nonetheless wonderful. The drink is excellently balanced, the malts reign in the aggressive pine flavor, and the rich hop oil. The feel is oily, and what that feels like is a certain amount of flavor that cloys the tongue after it is swallowed. The beer is resoundingly smooth throughout. The beer is an instant classic.

2009 bottle. Pours a clear but dark orange amber with a nice frothy off-white head. Aroma is salty hoppy, some alcohol, pine, resin, ok but not great. Flavor is fairly boozy, quite distracting, bitter hoppy, peachy, just very very bitter without great flavors, fairly messy. Medium bodied slightly sticky.

22 oz bomber into snifter. Pours a clear deep orange with a billowing, creamy, tan head that has excellent retention and leaves sheets of lacing. Awesome aroma of fresh grapefruit, pineapple, strawberry cheesecake. Taste has the same pitfall as the Maximus DIPA: starts with great citrus hops and caramel malt but then turns to old strawberry cheesecake, nutty bitterness, excessive herbal hops, and some spicy alcohol. Finishes dry with big strawberry sweetness lingering. Not bad. How does Lagunitas create these strawberry cheesecake beers?
