Lagunitas Sirius Ale

burnt orange with decent french vanilla head. Malts and sugars dominate the flavor profile but there is some earthy hopiness going on backstage and it makes a curtain call in the finish

(Bottled) Slightly hazy amber with a very small head. Aroma is strong in both maltiness and nutty-aromatic hops - maybe slightly stuffy. Flavor of nutty hops, some dried fruit, grainy malt. Medium to full body, low carbonation. A solid strong ale with pleasant hopping.

Bottled (PBF). Clear pale amber color, small white head. Bready hoppy aroma. Starts light and metallic ... then bready hoppy. Very simple, fruity hoppy, almost APA-like flavor.

Source:Sample at a tasting in Nashville.
Glass:Snifter.
Appearance:Poured a hazy orange color with a thin beige head.
Aroma:Caramel malt and floral hops.
Flavor:Sweet malt dominates, with a mild bitter finish.
Palate:Medium/full body with mild carbonation.
Overall:Kind of disjointed with some different flavors that don’t mesh well with each other.

Pours an orangish amber with a lot of hoppy aroma. Flavor is rich malts with plenty of hops to balance it out. Not what I was expecting from a string cream ale, but good.

Pours a surprising amber/copper color with a good amount of carbonation. Very bitter with hops, with some syrupy malt. Not that well balanced. This isnt a bad beer, but it also wasnt what I was planning on drinking.

Bottle. Pours golden amber with a small head. Sweet caramel and grapefruit on the nose. Slightly sweet with a slight hop bitterness with a hint of berry. Creamy finish with a mild alcohol burn

Crushed with Jakebra. Plenty of hops and malt in good balance. Some minimal poop makes it slightly unpleasant, but overall a decent brew. On par and difficult to differentiate between other Lagunitas strong ales.
