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%!

Bottle. Pours amber with a medium white head. Flowery, fruity, hoppy aroma with notes of exotic fruit, grass, pine, and grapefruit. Flavour is the same but has a good malty base that adds toffee and caramel. Long bitter flavour.

Draught: Beautiful creamy head atop a smoky peach color. Unbelievable aroma! Peaches and pine and maybe a little orange citrus. Very floral as well. Flavor is fruity orange but not oversweet. Nice oily texture coats the entire mouth. Peachy finish stretches out and does not want to let go. Wonderful double.

Bomber w/ Simon. This was overwhelming overshadowed by the previous M.S. IPA we just had. Nicely balanced - caramel malts mix nicely w/ the mild hop profile. Really not all that bitter or in your face...In comparison to what’s out there, this is mellow, drinkable, and overall good - but nothing great.

I have noticed, for the most part, Lagunitas offers some real nice big beers for less than some of their competitors. No different here. Pours a clear orange color with a nice initial sticky head and pretty good retention. Aroma is mostly floral grapefruit hops but there’s also some candy malts. The flavor consists of a lot of citrus grapefruit hops, especially up front, then mellows a bit with a lesser sweet malt profile. Finishes a bit bitter and dry. They are able to provide a lot of flavor with a relatively low abv too. And again, there’s real good value here. I’ll be getting this again.

Clear reddish amber with large off white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with notes of caramel, pine and grapefruits. Flavor is sweet with plenty of hops, caramel and grapefuit notes. Good mouthfeel and a solid bitter finish. Nice.

Pours amber brown and clear with a cream colored head. Nutty and hoppy aroma. Super-hoppy and bitter taste with hints of nuts and carmel. Finishes with a kick of spicy hops at the back of the throat. Overall, a good IPA but the palate lacks to the smoothness of other IPAs.
