3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Botte @Lagunitas tasting at Artisan Wine Depot. Pours clear light amber with a small white head that dissipates with some lacing. Aroma is surprisingly malty with forward notes of caramel and bread with a pine/citrus backing. Flavor is about the same, medium to quite sweet, light to medium bitter and a bit grassy on the finish. Way to malty for me.
3.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured almost two fingers of head on a clear, bubbly medium straw colored body. Low head retention though.
The smell is amazing. Bright lemon and grapefruit in a big pine forest. Love it.
The taste is nice. Mild lemon bitterness with a stronger pine bitter. Quite a step down from where the smell led me.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
It smells incredible, it tastes good.

Bottle 5/19/13. Clear, amber color. Thick head. Toasty malt nose with piney notes. Very smooth mouthfeel. Finishes with a gentle hop bitterness, alcoholic viscosity, and fizz on the tip of the tongue.

Bottle, rated from backlog. Orange color with white head. Nose and mouth is malty and (mainly) caramelly, flowery and piny hop notes.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Awesome double ipa. Pours a great copper color with a thin white head. Floral nose with fresh cut grass. Copper taste finished by a smooth finish.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle pour: dark, mildly cloudy amber. Very fresh aroma of hops and pine trees. Medium bitterness, but really smooth all around with very dynamic flavor points. Excellent, one of the best bottles I’ve had in a while.

Aroma: Citrus, pine, spice and wet grass.
Appearance: Amber with a steady, but small, cream colored head.
Flavor: Sweet malt and caramel with a balancing hop bitterness.
Palate: Full bodied with moderate carbonation.

Haven't had on tap yet, but the bottles taste great when they sit out from my fridge for half an hour or so

@CBC13, on tap.
Clean, clear orange color, thin white foam head.
Served a bit too cold.
Nose and mouth are not intense.
It’s really disappointing how neutral this beer is. Maybe because of low temperature.
I must re-taste it ASAP.

Pours golden with a white foamy head. Smells of light citrus. Tastes of hops, citrus, and light bitter. Slightly sweet. Finishes refreshingly.
