3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Nice amber-copper color. Head dissipates quickly. Very little lace on the side, perhaps due to the large amount of hops. Very floral and piney notes, with some butterscotch. First apparent is the sweetness of the malt. Honey and some licorice. Nice bitter finish from the hops. Solid beer. Not much carbonation. Oily and resiny due to the hops. Very enjoyable beer. It’s really a pleasure to drink and remarkably refreshing given the amount of hops.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Solid pour, lots of suds, smells fruity. Very fruity and sweet, with a nice hop kick and bitter finish. Tastes similar to other lagunitas ipas, abv not detectable. I think this is solid, basically a souped up abv of their standard IPA but very solid for sure. Not quite a top tier dipa but close.
4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Fresh and non-imposing, meaning it didn’t bomb my tastebuds. It has a heavy-hopped flavor with a nice floral smell and a bit of an abv kick. This was some great stuff.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Amber pour with thick white head. Moderate skunky pine and caramel malt. Sweet caramel malt and some biscuit followed by solid pine bitterness. Lightly dry finish. Solid beer just no wow factor here. Would love to try fresh.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured a clear golden with a nice head. Some sweet malts followed by a nice punch of hops with a slight bitter finish. Quite a beer, tasty.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a murky, unfiltered gold with a white foam head that head that stays on the top of the glass and a decent amount of carbonation, looks good. Smells sweet in hoppy, with some spicy fruit making up the sweetness. Taste actually is lacking on hops and is more malty. Bitter, but also with a sweet and yet spicy cherry flavor. I can taste the alcohol and as well and the boozy taste really is prominent and finishes on the palate. Not so great, but not horrible.
