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%!

POured a nice amber color with a small off white head. Aroma was very nose bitting bitter hops, mainly citrusy/pineapple notes. Flavor was also very much the same, not too smooth, just very bitter

22oz bottle, shared by Omar. Thanks, man! Pours a bright, bold, slightly hazy orange color; light khaki head with great retention and medium-bubbled lacing; really nice looking pour. Solid amounts of citrus, earthy bitterness, and crystal malts in the aroma; kind of basic; minimal astringency. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy candy sugar, citrus / earthy bitterness (nothing astringent or rough), and just loads of crystal malts; relaxed carbonation; basic, typical Lagunitas ASA boredom. Ok and fairly drinkable, but not really worth the alcohol; doesn’t provide a fair amount of complexity. Lengthy, mildly bitter finish: candy sugar, crystal malts, and bitter citrus.

A caramel and citrus aroma, orange and brown in color, darker than most IPA’s, has a deeper almost malty flavor, more than most IPA’s with a decent hoppy bitter finish. I say it is what Anchor Steam would taste like if it were an IPA

Fine coloring and head. Aroma is fine if a little weak for the style. Really good overall for the price. Hits all the notes at the right times. Oily.

Pours from 22 oz bomber medium copper, aroma of floral pine resins, malted hops and caramel. Flavour is of a modest IIPA, resins and a grapefruit character come through on top of the bitterness.

Bomber poured amber with a nice head. Good hoppy aroma. Flavor starts off sweet with a nice dry bitter finish. This is a solid easy to drink beer.

Bomber. Pours golden amber with small off-white head. Piney hop aroma follows through in flavor. Hop nuggets were actually floating in the beer. Cloying finish.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of drewbeerme. Pours a clear amber color with a big creamy head that leaves some lacing. The aroma is resiny citrus, floral, moderately sweet, and some caramel malt. The flavor leans more toward the hoppy side of things. It opens with some citrus and a hint at sweetness, but becomes more bitter mid-palate through to the finish. Maybe a hint of pine is sneaking in as well. The malt is present, but does not stand up to the hops. Thick and chewy going down.
