| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 20, 2008 650ml bottle at Beer Bistro in Toronto. Amber with white head. Floral, mango, malty aroma. Bittersweet taste of hops, malts, and mango. Very smooth mild taste. Completely hides the alcohol. craftbeerdesign (744), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 19, 2008 on draft... excellent IIPA... nice deep golden / amber color with a good white head. solid hop filled aroma... medium to full body with near sticky hop notes on the palate. piney hops are most prevalent... even over the palate and a nice bitter finish... this one is a borderline IPA and IIPA.... it is kind of caught in the middle somewhere.... a bit more hops would truly make this one stand out more. for the price, you can’t beat Lagunitas... they make some excellent beer at affordable prices. Maximus is another example of a true go to beer that will never disappoint. michael-pollack (2644), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

Poured amber in color with a medium-sized off-white head that diminished but lasted. Clear. Sparkling. Very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and medium to heavily bitter. Tastes of hops, resin, caramel, malts, and more hops. Medium body. Oily, then sticky texture. Soft carbonation. Hoppy, lightly dry finish. Changed (163), Ithaca, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 17, 2008 12oz bottle, pours like... an IPA! thin head, amber color, smells of a variety of citrus, pine, etc... It’s all been stated before. Tastes very good, nicely balanced, but stronger and more alcohol taste than DFH 90 Minute that was drank previously in the day.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Pours an attractive clear copper hue with a two finger creamy head. The nose is nicely balanced with pineapple and floral hop & caramel malt. The front falvor is more toward th hop influence, but there is a caramel malt mid that then reverts back to the dry hoppy, bitter finish. thefederalist (226), Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Updated: Oct 27, 2008Bottle. Pours a clear amber brown with a diminishing head that leaves nice lacing in the class. Thick, grassy cascade hop aroma. Initial sweetness is balanced by tremendous bitterness, all inside a viscous body. The finish is lingering and pleasant. HopHeadinAZ (120), USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 15, 2008 12oz bottle: Pours a slight hazy amber with a 1-2 finger head of ivory foam. The aroma is pure IPA with mostly piney notes.The flavor continues the aroma with some malt sweetness and notable hop bitterness. The pine flavors come through again with only a hint of citrus. The mouth feel is smooth with less coating than i would expect in a double IPA. Overall this is a solid beer but this is a crowded category with many great examples.
