Jun 2, 2008 From a 22 oz. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is full of fruity and citrus hops, some pineapple. Color is a honey golden amber with a thick head that stays. Very clear. Slightly sweet at first, but completely overtaken by the hop bitterness. More pineapple, citrus hop flavor. Finish is dry with a lingering bitterness. Light for the strength, and not overly sweet. A great Double IPA.

May 29, 2008 This beer pours and orange-amber colour, with a finger sized white head thats hopping with citrusy hops. I will agree with other posts however that its not as Maximus full of hops as I imagined, yet still very good. Lots of citrus fruit, grapefruit and lemons.

May 29, 2008 Sample at Barley’s Smokehouse. This beer is a hazy light amber color with a thin light beige head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. The aroma is hoppy with some caramel malt. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with hops and spice flavors, along with some sweet malt and grapefruit underneath. The finish is fruity and hoppy with a lightly bitter aftertaste. Does not pack as much punch as I would expect in a IIPA. Slightly above average overall.

May 28, 2008 Pours a clear, light orange color with a decent, frothy, barely off-white head. Aroma is hops, slightly musky. Beer goes down as the head sticks to my upper lip... hoppy, but leaves a tame aftertaste. Light/medium body. Something feels and tastes lacking. Not sure what it is. With a name like "IPA Maximus" I was expecting a bit more. But still, not bad for an IPA.

May 28, 2008 Bomber. Pours a crystal clear amber with three finger off-white head and a bunch of carbonation with nice lacing. Nose is floral hops, tangerine and pine. Palate is floral, citrus, sweet malts and a non-lingering dry bitter pine finish. Medium mouth feel - not a bad DIPA – one of the better Lagunitas beers I’ve had.

May 28, 2008 Max pours copper with small yellow-white head. Nose is strong with a beautiful balance, and the flavor follows as such, but neither is complex. Overall, perhaps a little watery and flat, but still enjoyable.

May 24, 2008 A golden/copper clear beer with a small white head that disappears. Aroma is great, citrusy (grapefruit) and floral hops. The taste is a bit thin, as is the mouthfeel, not as hoppy or bitter as I would like.
