Commercial Description:
At the height of the heat in the heart of the summer, we felt that the only cure was a raging mouthful of fresh hops and malt. Caution: May remove enamel from teeth. This is Lagunitas IPA pumped up by about 30%!

Pleasant aroma of hops and pine. Strong body witch may over bearing in its citrusy overtones coupled with a fine hoppy sensation. Carbonation was not to be expected. Overall, I might think about possibly drinking this beer in future, hopefully on tap instead.

Another great IPA option from this brewery. Amber color. More pine flavors. Clean and crisp.

Bottled (CK). Clear amber-copper color, small white head. Strong aroma of pineapple and hops. Quite sweet and malty flavor with lots of pineapple and resiny notes. Some citrus in the finish too. Not really powerful for IIPA. And seems that I am not a fan of pineapple and hop combination -to me this looks a bit overrated here.

Bomber. Pours a nice coppery-orange color with a one-finger white head. Strong aroma of citrus, including grapefruit and pineapple. Flavor is smooth and sweet at first, with a good amount of malt to balance the large quantity of hops. Finish is slightly sticky and resinous, followed by delicious bitterness. Great IPA at a good price - would definitely buy again.

Bottle pours a copper color similar to the IPA. Foamy white head and excellent lacing along the side of the glass. Aroma is hoppy with notes of honey, grapefruit and pineapple. Flavor is sweet and malty up front and bitter and hoppy on the back end.

Pours a nice copper-orange color with a foamy white head. Aroma is floral and bitter citrus hops and some sweet malts. Oily mouthfeel, balanced taste between sweet malts and bitter citrus hops. Nice beer, and great for the price.

Bomber. Pours clear light amber with a smallish white head. Aroma is lots of citrus hops, malts with light-fruit and honey character, and some wood. Flavor is a nice mix of citrus hops, pine, somewhat sweet and fruity malts, and a grapefruit finish. That’s all quite good as far as it goes-- an IIPA with a lot of nice mix of hop and malt character with citrus fruitiness. But then it has a weird aspirin-pill medicinal-bitterness aftertaste a few seconds later, which is weird and not that pleasant. Still, not bad on the whole, and cheap.

Bottle. Pours a clear, amber color with a large, frothy white head. Lacing is strong. Aromas of hops, spruce, grapefruit, and some roasted malts. Nice start on the palate with a smooth initial feel followed by a nice bitter finish. Creamy throughout which is a surprise for an IPA. Flavors of hops, hay, then a nice hoppy finish. Great beer.
