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.

Jul 29, 2009 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.

Jul 27, 2009 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.

Jul 27, 2009 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.

Jul 22, 2009 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.

Jul 21, 2009 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?
