Gypsy19 (604), California, USA Jan 21, 2008 Nothing special; A very strong India pale ale, both in flavor and in buzz-factor. Basically tastes like grapefruit juice and vodka. Release should be limited, contrary to "Unlimited Release" decree on bottle. tunneler (112), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Jan 20, 2008 barely qualifying as a double, and therefore a very drinkable brew. strong hops nose not much body, long bitter tail. leeburg (148), Juneau, Alaska, USA Jan 20, 2008 Updated: Feb 25, 2009Pleasant surprise all-around here. Beautiful golden red color with a fast head. Sweet floral aroma of tart cherries, apple, orange. Sweet crisp greeting with some expected citrus, barely noticeable alcohol, and bitter but relatively clean aftertaste. pantanap (1323), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 18, 2008 bottle....been in the fridge for a few months so it’s probably not at its freshest....poured a semi-transparent orange brown with a frothy white to off white head....floral and citrus notes in the nose combines with some malts but not too much....flavor of crisp citrus hops with a bitterness that lingers a bit in the finish but it’s not obtrusive in any way. not too much in the way of malts and overall it is quite dry.....way better than the Oddysey just tried and is a bargain DIIPA for the price. tympanic (50), Alabama, USA Jan 17, 2008
Lagunitas Maximus IPA
Pours an orange-amber color, fizzy white head. Aromas of apple, pear, hops. First sip reveals more pear, sour blueberry, lingering and savory hops. maniac4016 (114), bill clinton, Iceland Jan 17, 2008 22 oz. bomber. waxy pineapple on nosing. good clarity in pint glass, nice head, lacing sticks to glass and on palate nice clean hop flavors, excellent balance and long, long, long clean bitter finish. very good ipa, this bottle doesnt stand a chance. actually enjoyed this more than the two-hearted. will look into others styles from this brewery. could be new go to ipa!! outstanding Jmichael (633), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Jan 15, 2008 pours a clear brown gold with full white head. very floral citrus hop aroma. hoppy mild citrus, floral front with bitter dry finish. good. masonjer (562), Holt, Michigan, USA Jan 10, 2008 Wanted to try this, especially given the price (nice and cheap). Poured a nice golden color. Taste is light tropical and citrus. Fairly light flavor for a double IPA. Very drinkable.
