Jul 10, 2008 Really neat orange rind/orange juice hop aromas. Light pine beyond that. This is just a really pleasing hop aroma. Flavors are more piney with a nice clean sweet malt. Balanced, but fresh hops are def featured. Amber color, modest head.

Jul 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Copper colored pour with a medium head that leaves little specks of lacing. Subtle sweet grain aroma with a hint of hops. Taste is citrus, caramel, hops. Odd taste to me. Not off, just odd.

Jul 9, 2008 Pours a light amberish color totally clear with a medium whitish head. Aromas remind me of a pale ale or ipa. Flavor is malty and sweet with a very good hop backbone. reminds me of an IIPA in flavor. I like this one and think it is a tad underrated.

Jul 8, 2008 Love Lagunitas, but this one wasn’t my cup of beer. It tasted like a fully confused lager. There was some creaminess there, but the palate just wasn’t right.

Jul 6, 2008 THOUGHTS: Wow! Another American Strong Ale from Lagunitas. One day maybe they will try something different. This made me realize I should only be drinking wheat beers for the rest of the summer. This one got me sweating. Nothing special, but still a nice beer.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, medium amber with a small, fizzy, off-white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was extremely sweet. There was caramel malt, light hops and a little brown sugar. The initial flavor was moderately sweet, and lightly acidic and bitter; while the finish was moderately sweet and bitter, and lightly acidic with and average to long duration. There was caramel malt and then some hops with a hint of citrus. The medium body was sort syrupy, but then dry with soft carbonation and a sort of metallic finish.
