Aug 19, 2009 22 oz bottle. Golden/amber with a fast dissipating off white head. Aroma is citrus, floral and caramel. The flavor is bitter and supported by a big malt base to balance out the beer nicely. The mouth feel is slightly syrupy and thick with good carbonation to balance it out and a long smooth bitter finish. The hops are subdued a bit but that could be due to age. Another great beer from Lagunitas.

Aug 19, 2009 Lagunitas Maximus is a hazy deep golden ale with a lot of particles floating in it. It has a huge, dense, creamy, lumpy off-white head that shows outstanding retention and lacing. It has a resinous, citrus aroma that’s fruity and spicy. It’s medium bodied, creamy and smooth with a clean finish. There’s something lightly syrupy about it all the way through. It’s pretty well balanced and quite sweet. There’s a resiny and citrusy bitterness that keeps it in balance, but it’s still just a touch too sweet. I’m pretty certain I got an old bottle.

Aug 18, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear amber with a fluffy beige head.
Aroma: Light grapefruit and pine.
Taste: Candied grapefruit, turbinado sugar syrup, finishing with earthy bitter hops.
Mouthfeel: Thick.
Overall: A bit too malt forward for my liking. May not have been a fresh bottle, or perhaps this is something border-lining a Double IPA.

Aug 15, 2009 I was hammered at my brother’s bachelor party the first time I tried this, so now I’m trying it again while coherent... the hop aroma is slightly subdued for the style and mixed with malts and hints of candied prunes, raisins, molasses, etc. (an interesting mix). The flavor isn’t quite as bold as I usually like from this style, but all in all it’s pretty tasty.

Aug 2, 2009 Bouteille de 650 ml acheté le 9 juillet 2009, à Charles Street Liquors à Boston. Cuivre claire, petit collet. Arome d’houblon sucré licoreux, petits fruits muries. Goût de céréal mi-sucré, houblon un peu amère et assez alcoolisé, finition sucré amère. Une très bonne IPA, mais je n’irais pas le nommé une double!
