4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours light crystal clear copper color. Strong floral aroma. Sweet taste well balances by tons of sticky hops. Medium body and citrus aftertaste. Another very good Lagunitas brew.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle. Filtered orange-tan. Soapy, glass-lacing, off-white head. Steady hop aroma, solid west coast feel. Quite a resiny, syrupy mouthfeel. The hops really stick around in the aftertaste. Lots of orange flavor. Clean, doughy malt backbone covered in hops. Rather mellow mouthfeel. Pretty solid beer overall, maybe a little underwhelming.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a dark straw color with a fluffy white head. Good lacing. Aroma is fresh floral and hoppy. When you first take a sip it is silky and hoppy. Medium mouth feel. The aroma is just amazing, this is one damn good beer! I don’t know what hops where used but they are awesome!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle served in a tulip. Pours near-clear polished oiled copper. Medium size off-white head. Good retention and lace. Nose is mostly malty, but also bitter. Caramel, nuts, bread, and resin. Very sweet flavor. Medium-full body, s-thick-y texture, mild carbonation, bitter finish but the big sweetness lingers as well. I would guess this is a Lagu brew, blind. Almost cloyingly sweet.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Strong but not over powering hop flavor with a smooth finish. Deep amber color and hoppy aroma.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Breeze Thru. Pours a golden orange with a lot of activity under a 1/4 inch head. Aroma is lemony grapefruit and pine. That carries into the flavor, which carries a nice bitterness throughout. Some overriped fruitiness in the mouthfeel, but I would characterize as an ipa not a double. A good ipa, better certainly than their regular one as this carries through on the promise of the aroma.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Drinks much lighter (and indeed easier) for a DIPA. Hops are fresh on both the nose and palate, and there’s plenty of resin sweetness and malt power coming through the aromas as well. Holds the sweetness in the mouth but for the most part enough bitterness to cut through. Some aniseed to finish. Very solid.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle pours clear copper with thick bubbly off-white head. Aroma is sweet caramel, citrus, and pine. Taste is very sweet, honey and citrus. Sticky syrup texture.
