Nov 29, 2008 An attractive dark amber glow with a creamy head. Noticeable whiffs of citrus and malt. Good hops and malt notes, with a fine clean finish.

Nov 28, 2008 Poured from a 22-oz bottle into a glass. Pours an orange-gold, really nice coloring.
A very solid IPA. Hoppy, but not overpowering. Caramel malt on the finish. Very good - about what I’d expect from Lagunitas. I could see myself drinking a few of these.

Nov 28, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Good aroma and drinkability. Kind of a caramelly finish. Not terribly bitter.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle.
Aromatic hops, caramel, honey. Intense sweetness. A little burned sugar.
Full bodied. More of a Barley Wine than an IPA IMHO.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours dark/deep copper with frothy off white head. Smells piney and citrusy. Plenty of sugary sweet malts present in the nose as well. Tastes bittersweet with overpowering hops, and thick full flavor of malts. Balanced, and nice , as it has a very full flavor and warms all the way down with the medicinal alcohol. Piney and citrusy, yet bread grains and thick cereal malts battle to the end. Very nice.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark orange brown. Smelled pretty piney, with floral and malty tints. Tasted mainly hoppy, piney, with definite malt notes, slightly boozy. Really solid IPA especially for the price.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Now this is more like it . . . you go, Barry! Pours orange yellow with a medium head. Aroma heavy on flowers, ripe orange, and malt. Flavor is classic Lagunitas: heavy on the malt, but you can tell that some quality hops are present as well. Overall, I prefer Maximus to Lagunitas many ASA-style “red” beers. Yes, it was too malty for me, and yes, I STILL do not think Lagunitas’ beers have a very desirable palate, but at least the flavor on this one was tasty all the way down.

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. A mother of a IPA. Warms as it goes down. Yum hops on the nose, same in the flavor. Very sweet but balanced finish. Kick-ass IPA.
