Pours a reddish-copper color into a snifter. Small head of off-white foam that quickly dissipates. This beer has a distinct piney-citrusy aroma that tastes like leaves a bit of piting pine in my mouth at the finish. This is the best Lagunitas beer I’ve tasted to date; still kind of mellow for a double IPA. Would definitely drink again. Good stuff.

Jul 6, 2008 6pack from knightly sprits in o-town. Thanks again Alan! Clear copper pour with a fluffy white head and picture esque lace. Pine hops aroma. Strong but not cloying, lots of hops balanced this out.

does not count  Jul 6, 2008 Has a grassy aroma, a little earthy with a mild citrus. It pours beutifully, with a thick head that settles down, clear, copper/orange color. Nothing outstanding with the flavor, aboot a normal IPA, a little grassy. Bitter on the palate and finishes with th grassy flavor. Overall, it is not one of my favorite IPA’s, but not bad.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle. Nice aroma of pine, citrus, caramel malt. Flavor keeps some strong, fruity malt, but the hops are a little less pointed in the mouth and turn to more general spiciness/bitterness. Still, not oppressively bitter, and has a particular, bitter finish that can be a blessing or a curse. Very nice.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours orange with a thick white head and leaves nice, thick lacing. Aroma of rich bready/cookie malt and flowery hops. Flavor of lots of hop spices, bitter hops. The flavor is very muddied and it was hard to pick out anything specific. This beer has a spicy bite to it. Mouthfeel is thick and heavy. An ok IIPA but not very well balanced and too heavy for my liking.

Jul 4, 2008 POured a nice amber color with a small off white head. Aroma was very nose bitting bitter hops, mainly citrusy/pineapple notes. Flavor was also very much the same, not too smooth, just very bitter
