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.

Pours dark golden with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of light toffee, citric hops, fruity piney resins, and sweet candy. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, lightly sticky and resinous with lush carbonation. Another Lagunitas ASA, seriously?

Bottle. Amber body, small dense white head, mild nose. Fruity body with a somewhat astringent finishing bitterness.

Slightly unclear amber with a lasting white head. Wonderful aroma filled with fresh (munich?) malt, bread, caramel, peachy hops. Sweet and heavy flavour with caramel and fruit, quite overwhelming and close to cloying.

The Imperialization continues...Pours a murky golden orange with a sturdy cream head. The nose is rather subdued - notes of hay, caramel and dirty yeast. Big, chewy mouthfeel. More caramel and hay notes are jumbled into a cloying mess. No hops in sight to balance this monster. Yikes this is hard to drink. If there has ever been a style NOT to imperialize, it is indeed the cream ale.

Deep golden and slightly hazy with a dense and foamy head. Hoppy aroma and sugary sweet with a slight doughy yeast thing going on. Medium bodied, lightly carbonatewd and a bit syrupy. Big hop flavors with pins, tangerine and citrus. Long bitter finish. This is bigger than I expected.

Bottle. Honey body with a thick lasting foamy head. Nose-,medium citrus hops, very good American Pale Ale like nose. Taste-creamy thick mouthfeel, medium butter, unsweet light citrus, kind of wheaty, big hop presence (much more than I would of thought given the nose), medium bitter, light citrus. Tastes like a very well done slightly hoppy IPA with a soft creamy mouthfeel. Very well done.

Not bad by any means, pretty good actually, just not the best offering form this company.

Bottled. hazy pale orange with a low white foam. Mild but still dense aroma of dried mandarine-peels and caramel. Clean fruity flavour of apricot, oranges, caramel and grass. Mild finish of mandarine. Clean mouthfeel.
