aarossell (151), Grandville, Michigan, USA Oct 22, 2007 My second Lagunitas brew....and again I’m fully impressed. Clean, cereal taste, mostly clear light pale yellow body. Similar to their Kil Ugly Radio IPA....not quite as Hoppy. Full bodied, tasty.
derekbang (129), Indiana, USA Oct 11, 2008 Orange color with little head. Aroma is dark fruit, hops. Taste is the same with some bitterness. Mouthfeel is good- some lingering. Not as smooth for lower ABV (among DIPAs). DrDavid (361), Johnson, Vermont, USA Oct 11, 2008 (Bottle). Grassy, semi-sweet citrus aroma. Hazy copper-amber body, off-white head. Semi-sweet hoppy taste, mildly bitter rather brief finish. Ok, but can’t hold a candle to DFH 90-Minute, or to Stone Ruination. thewolf (3983), Kolding, Denmark Oct 11, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Vinens Verden, Odense.
Pours lightly coppery golden with a great, creamy, small, off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, but with quite a malty balance. Slightly weak mouthfeel, but the ABV is a bit low. Super dry flavour, though, good hoppiness. Dryness, but not that much character, actually. Disappointing. HopsWhisperer (9), , North Carolina, USA does not count Oct 10, 2008 Nice looking sunshine yellow with a creamy, pillowy head. A nice lacing remains on the glass.
Fresh hoppy aromas of fresh cut grass, grapefruit, citrus and pine. I’m not always good at separating out the individual aromas, but this seems to hit them all!
Great taste. Bitter, as expected, but also fresh and slightly sweet to balance.
Creamy mouthfeel. Goes down very easily!
Overall a nice beer, and recommended.
FlssmrBrewAlum (245), South Chicago Suburbs, Illinois, USA Oct 8, 2008 22 oz. bomber from Binny’s (Orland Park, IL). Pours a fiery orange hazy hue with notes of grapefruity red prominent and a sign of the tastes to come. Small to medium head that dissipates significantly but still manages to lace anok amount. Aromas are largely citrus, strong grapefruit and lighter caramel malt notes that are pretty great. Taste is similar, large bitterness up front with grapefruit and lemony prominance, middle body shows signs of caramel and biscuity malts, moves quickly back to grapefruit and bitter hop notes. Finishes with a crisp bitterness, but not astringent. Fairly smooth for the style. Pretty great! Cheers!
