Jan 5, 2008 My New Years beer.. opened 10 minutes to midnight, finished 30 minutes thereafter. Extremely over hopped, and not in a good way. Matches your Dogfish Head in the extreme hop category, but it was so overpowering that that the subtletry is gone. A little chewy malt, that if you let it sit on your mouth a while an let the hops wash over, you can get. Not thin on the tongue, bridging on chewy. Golden orange/yellow color when poured. Little fizzy, but since this is not a winter beer, it was not what I wanted after-all, I’ll re-visit this after the second bottle, but style-wise, as the D-IPA, it is at least representative. (Bottle Pour 12/31/2007 -1/1/2008)

Jan 1, 2008 Bottle. An unclear orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and grassy. The flavor is sweet hoppy with a dry hoppy end. Quite simple, but nice. Kind of lacking.

Jan 1, 2008 22oz, paid 3.99 for it though and at that price this is a steal.. tastes like an IPA looks dark amber like an IPA and has lots of hops like an IPA seems to me Lagunitas has really hit the mark with this one.. only quirk... low ABV :D

Jan 1, 2008 Nice golden color, small white head. Nice hops flavor with a littlle less bitterness than you get in some others, which was nice. Very nice brew.

Dec 31, 2007 Bottle, 22oz. (RBNAG 07) An orange-golden, slightly hazy beer, poured with an off-white head. Sweetish nose with all the joys of American hops dominating. The same goes for the flavor, lots of pine, resin, citrus and fruityness, as well as a lot of sweetness, but far from overpowering the hops. Full body, and so hoppy it almost feels a bit astringent in the mouth. A lovely beer, but maybe a bit too hoppy, meaning that it is more a hop juice than a beer. (071103)

Dec 29, 2007 Nice honey aroma, and amazingly balanced flavor with a long finish. Easily one of my favorite beers this year.
