Immy (1477), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Apr 5, 2008 Bomber from BlindEyedBetty - thanks! Dark, clear amber with an off white head. Mildly sweet, malty nose, caramel and brown sugar, earthy hop and a bit of fruitiness. Loose, drippy lacing. Sweet flavor, but with a bite - caramel and bitter nuts, earthy hop and some grapefruit zest. Ends a bit dry with a citrus rind bitter. I liked this a lot, particularly with fried food.
mmhnto (29), Lisle, Illinois, USA Jul 25, 2008 Wrote a nice review for this one which RateBeer promptly "ate". This bottle was probably oxidized. I’ve had this beer before and loved it. The_Captain (251), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 22, 2008 Bottle- Copper brown pour with foam off white head. Love FZ but not necessarily the beer. However, it was rather refreshing and like moses mentioned reminded me of a belgian. Some spice and hops with a dry hop finish. Decent body and a good blend. benwa420 (32), Aspen, Colorado, USA Jul 16, 2008 out the bottle. Pours semi dark amber color with a thin white hesd. A little spice to th taste along with hops. nice finish almost floral but not fruity. Good job Lagunitas The_Beer_God (2804), Newport News, Virginia, USA Jul 10, 2008 Bottle. Copper pour with a short fizzy tan head. Nose is caramel, soft fruit, spices, sweet malts and almost dessert-like. Taste is hoppy, spicy, slight floral with yeast notes, caramel, sweet malts, and dark fruit. Body is thick and slightly creamy with some lingering bitterness. Carbonation is moderate. Finishes with more sweet malts, caramel, spices, soft hops and dark fruit notes. Tasty! drjay44 (80), USA Jul 9, 2008 Exhuberant creamy head, which gradually disappears, rich lacing, pleasant dark color, nose inviiting, but not floral, rather more hop than malt, and not very complex which is a disapointment. The mouth feel is wonderful.
