3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
NIce bottle pour, clear, ruby-red-brown body, creamy tan head. Pleasant hops and winter fruit aromas. Tastes of noticable hops bitterness, warming alcohol , and again some plum or brown sugar sweetness, malts on the finish. Great mouthfeel, smooth, more carbonation than I would expect from this this style of brew.
A very impressive brew, great on a cool winter evening, the warmth of the alcohol is soothing. Saving the rest to go with the quiche for dinner.

Pours a nice copper color, with nice head and carbonation. Aroma is hops, brown sugar, roasted malts and some grass hops. Taste is complex with some caramels, hops, spices?, with a somewhat bitter tea leaf finish. Not a sweet as it smells. Not to bad, but solid for sure.

Great caramel colored ale, was very happy with this, and other Lagunitas bombers i’ve tried. Haven’t been dissapointed by this hyped CA brewery, cause lets face it sometimes things from cali are a bit overated, but not so in this instance.

Pours a deep, a bit cloudy amber with thin beige head. Big aroma - malts along with the hops. Moderate lacing. Medium to heavy mouthfeel with a bit of oil & sweetness. Very good tasting - dark fruits, malts, a bit of caramel and maybe honey. Well-balanced with a bit of sweetness and hint of alcohol at the end. Yet another impressive offering from Lagunitas - do they make anything that isn’t? I’m sold on this brewery - CHEERS!

Clear amber pour with a thin light tan head that leaves a fair amount of lacing. Aroma is a intense sweetness backed by a wall of citrus and grass hops. Lots of malt and dark fruit, with a liquer-ish kind of sweetness. Flavor is rich and malt-forward. Plums and cherries are rounded out by some caramel flavor. Lingering hop bitterness on the finish. Nice medium body with an average amount of carbonation. Quite enjoyable. Not as hoppy as I expected but still a very tasty imperial red.

Gift from Santa. Rich & robust aroma of malt & caramel. Having on new years day after 5 bloody mary’s but still know this is a good brew. Flavor of roasted malts & raisins & caramel.

Another nice reddish style from Lagunitas. Mildly toasty, quite caramely, and definitely hopped up, the sweet malts balance this one out nicely. Good summer stuff.

Bomber. Pours reddish copper with a medium off white, soapy head. Aroma is caramel, orange peel, floral and piney hops. Flavor is sweet, caramel malt up front; raisins, orange, alcohol in the middle; assertive, bitter, piney hops in the finish. Medium, slightly oily mouthfeel.
