COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
At the height of the heat in the heart of the summer, we felt that the only cure was a raging mouthful of fresh hops and malt. Caution: May remove enamel from teeth. This is Lagunitas IPA pumped up by about 30%!

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - NOV 8, 2005
(Bottle 65 cl) Beautiful, clear amber with a creamy, thick head leaving some lacework. Distinct aroma hops in the nose. Flavour of sweet caramel malt with a very solid, hoppy finish. A very typical Double IPA with a routinely touch. 221005

yespr (20656) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - MAY 4, 2008
22 fl oz bottle, comes as Lagunitas Limited Release IPA Maximus Ale. Pours hazy orange with a huge off-white head. Pinewood needle aroma, dry and quite inviting. Flavour is light acidic pine wood - dry wooden hops note following. Mild sweet caramel malt base appears before the finish. Dry wooden finish. Nice one! Goes great with barbeque.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 21, 2004
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2004 Bottled. Orange-amber, big fluffy head. Orangey nose. Sweet and boldly malty with soft, but syrupy and fatty mouthfeel. Like sweetened, concentrated orange juice, but with very bitter finish. Too sticky.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAR 5, 2010
Bottled@The 1st Vaasa CS/ES beer session (thanks JS). Deep orange colour with small slightly off-white head. Aroma is bigtime pine, fruits, some slight grassyness as well. Flavour is quite much the same. Big time hoppyness, but still in a quite good balance.

MiP (11258) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - FEB 9, 2008
Bottle, 7.5%. Nice, sweet and caramelly hop aroma. Clear copper colour, small white head. The flavour is quite sweet, caramelly. Grassy from the hops with a good, cleansing bitterness. The finish has a little teaish hoppiness along with a good alcohol note. Quite flavourful but still well-balanced.
