Lagunitas Maximus

WAY TOO SWEET! couldnt finish the whole thing because of how sweet the finish is. started off fine, a little malty for how i like imperial IPA’s, but not bad. but the aftertaste and the finish was no good, dissapointing because of their regular IPA.

not as much of a hop aroma as expected. looks a little thin, taste is extremely sweet, almost like a barleywine with an alcoholic aftertaste, not very much hops.disappointing.

Again not a fan of IPAs, but at least this one had more flavor then just a kick in the teeth of hops. If you love IPAs its a must have.

22 oz bottle. Small aroma of pine and hops. Poured a bright copper with a small quickly vanishing white head. Flavor began to approach DIPA standard and held it’s ground throughout. A little rough on the palate, but not unexpected. Overall a workmanlike ale.

22 oz. Bottle. 3/1/09. Hazy straw color with an ok head that thins to a white cover. Smells of resinous hops that is a little thin but still nice. Tastes of sticky hops and malt that lingers for a short time. Good imperial but could be more hefty.

Dégusté avec Agaguk et Pyrozoid. Apparence or limpide avec une belle petite mousse blanche qui colle tres bien au verre. Aromes de pin, gingembre, zeste d’orange et un poivre leger mais intéressant. Tres bonne amertume, leger cote sucré corps crémeux et velouté.... finition sec. Gout tres houblonné, zest et poivré. Bonne biere...

600ml bottle shared with Pyrozoid and French Tickler. clear light brown appearance and a thick off white head. Aroma: pine, ginger, hops, orange peal and caramel. Flavor: hops, light peppery taste, ginger, pine, wood chips and orange zest. Palate: medium body soft carbonation, creamy and oily and a hoppy peperry finish.

Bouteille de 600 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Bière de couleur caramel avec un très bon collet beige pale moyennement collant. Odeur d’épinettes, épices, oranges, sucre, miel et sel. Gout de très sucré, miel, caramel, sucre d’orge et un peu la poire.
