Nov 8, 2007 Once again, this style fails to appease me. I was dissapointed because Lagunitas classic IPA is one of the best. However, this one, with only hints of the original, is overpowered by the grapefruity hops. If you like a sour and bitter ale, this is for you.

Nov 7, 2007 Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. ABV was 7.5%. Amber to orange colour, decent head. Nice hoppy aroma, not as strong as expected. Distinctly hoppy flavour throughout, but not really that extreme. Good beer.

Nov 6, 2007 Pours a hazy large particulated amber colour with a large rocky-frothy off white head. Aroma is fruity, with lots of hops. Initial taste is soft fruity and sweet malts. Mouthfeel is a soft carbonation. Moving into a bitter hop that coats the entire palate. Light red berried candy also lingers in the background palate. Head retention is good and the lacing the glass looks absolutely excellent, completely slapped and pasted over. Palate duration is also good. Overall enjoyable.

Nov 6, 2007 The aroma is super hoppy with pine and a biscuit maltiness. The appearance is amber with a foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma. It’s rather bitter. The palate is smooth. Overall this is a good beer but not the best IIPA that I have had.

Nov 5, 2007 Small white head. Hazy orange body with yeast particles. Deep sweet firm straw and malt aroma with fruity medicinal notes. Honeyish. Dry sweetish straw and malts taste with medicinal notes. Clean, sharp mouthfeel. Very nice! (0.66l bottle at RBNAG’07.)

Nov 3, 2007 This beer was REALLY sweet for an IPA. It tasted like it was loaded with sugar and hops. It wasn’t bad, however it was a little too sweet for my liking.

Nov 1, 2007 Pours cloudy burnt orange with small creamy head. Aroma is very malty sweet- sort of honey like- plus woody, resinous hops. Flavor is very malty, woody, and syrupy sweet like apricot as well as citrusy orange. Ends with sappy, woody bitterness and smooth, creamy palate. Not my favorite type of hopping, but good nonetheless....not sure if the hopping matched the malt increase for this IIPA tho.
