Commercial Description:
We brewed this Special High Gravity Cream Ale in serious celebration of the return of the salubrious Spring... With the long dark days of the Season of Damp nearly behind us and the possibilities of a long languid Summer ahead.

Clear copper, moderate bubbling, 3/4" off-white head. Mild malt and hop aroma with a citrus head and hoppy nose. Silky smooth sipping, malt and semi-sweet hops and barley. Almost too enjoyable. Lagunitas hits the mark again, just like the lucky 13. This is a seriously great beer. It should be applied generously to your most fun-loving occasions. You’ll be back for this one.

12 oz bottle. Nice hop aroma floats out during the pour. Winning beer. I like it. Pleasantly easy drinking even with the bit of alcohol that says hi right there at the end. I can easily see this as an end of the evening on a hot day beer.

Copper pour with white head. Citrusy alcoholic aroma with malt. Tastes of caramel malt with a hint of vanilla and spices, with a nice slightly bitter resiny hop finish. Very good carbonation and mouthfeel.

Bottle. Clear amber color with a fizzy off white head. Spicy sweet aromal with some alcohol. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Grainy, yeasty flavour with lightly sweet malts. Has a nicely bitter hop and alcohol taste to finish.

12 oz bottle from Redlight Redlight...pours amber with a creamy white head. Nose was caramel and toffee, with some some citrusty hops in the mix. The flavors were the same with the caramel being at the forefront. flavors. The beer was remakably light and easy to drink. No harsh after taste and just the right blend of hops to balance out the malts. The palate was thin without being watery with a was silky smooth with a great creaminess. The 7% ABV wasn’t noticeable at all...one of the best from Laguinitas.

Caramelly, vanilla, with hints of spicy piney hops on the nose. Pours golden blonde with a creamy white head. Very light mouthfeel, caramelly malts with sme honey and vanilla, with a heavy dose of pine and citrus hops. Its pretty hoppy and refreshing. It makes a nice session beer. Pretty solid!

Golden amber color. Creamy white head. Citrus nose leads off. Creamy caramel malt flavor at first with a long hoppy finish. Intresting beer as always from Lagunitas. At 40 IBU’s it seems more like an IPA.

355 ml bottle. Nice orangey golden color. Two-finger offwhite head leaving fine laces. Full malty, both in aroma and flavor. Strong and delicate hop aroma, and lots of bittering hops in the flavor as well. Well-bodied and smooth in the mouth. Lingering bitter finish. A powerful and refreshing one.
