Lagunitas Maximus

Bottle. orange clear pour with a medium head. clean but surprisingly mild hop aroma for a self proclaimed imperial IPA. Still, pretty solid.

Bottle. A nice clear light copper color pour with a big foamy off white head, some soft carbonation,loads of sticky lace left on the glass. Aroma of sweet tangerine with soft piny notes. Flavor is nice , full body, malty sweet ,with some nice orange,and citrus flavors , slightly floral and spicy pretty strait forward. A slightly oily texture but not in a bad way, a long slightly bitter hop aftertaste, very drinkable.

BOTTLE: I love this beer - pours orange with a white head, tons of floral hop, malt, and caramel on the nose, more of the same on taste. Creamy mouthfeel, almost of a syrupy, wine-like taste. Very bold flavor, excellent!

"I must say at the start of this review I am not a fan of this brewery don’t know why I’m just not. Beer pours a hazy dark brown with only a small covering of bubbles coating the surface that disappeared to a small bubble ring around the edge of the glass, lots of columns of carbonation are making their way to the top of my glass though, this brew looks pretty standard. Aroma is pretty simple grapefruit hops, with a touch of malt, its crisp, clean and smells somehow cold, it’s not too bad. Taste is more than acceptable grape fruit hops, very sweet with a floral aspect, and is good and malty I’m very surprised in fact this seems to be high quality for Lagunitas. Strange every third sip or so I swear I’m tasting some melon, why? This IIPA seems pretty slandered nothing really stands out about it, but it of high quality and had desant enjoyment. Done while playing cards with beercronic and his wife."

I don’t get the high rating. It tastes like their boring IPA tripled up. Bitter upon bitter upon bitter. No complexity. Not horrible. Not memorable. Improves as it warms and fruitiness is released.

Pours a nice amber orange with very thick off-white head. Aroma strong of floral hops, almost overdone, pine, strong malt, and spice. Flavor matches, but the floral hops just dominates it and I am not a fan of that. Definitely take a Hop Stoopid over this one.

(bottle from Springs Liquor Outlet in Colorado Springs). Pours a clear copper color. Small off white head which diminishes quickly. Spare lacing. Heavy hop, flower like aroma with light citrus. Oily texture. Moderate carbonation. Avg duration. Light bitterness.
