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.

Fruity malt aroma hints of aprocot. Light orange color with a medium off white head. Light malt shortly in the begining turning to all hops for the middle and the end. Smooth and creamy palate.

I think they have a name for high gravity cream ales: Malt liquor. Its ok though. Lightly malty, apple aroma. Thin body, at least for such a thin beer. A slightly corny aftertaste. Overall its pretty smooth, I just don’t think this style lends itself well to an imperial version. Wouldn’t buy it again.

light orange with a small creamy off-white head. aroma is dominated by hops but has notes of bready malt. flavor is very hoppy with notes of caramel and bready malt. pretty typical lagunitas but with more malts than usual instead of being an extremely harsh hop explosion.

Bottle.Why do I keep getting conned into trying these indistinguishable ales? Almost silky mouthfeel. A mild orangish sweetness. Spice stays on back of tongue. Boring. Just take any generic micromacro and increase the alcohol content = this beer.

Bottle pours a golden color. The aroma is is of pine hops or spice with a hint of sweetness. The flavor is balanced with some nice spice flavor! There is medium carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. There is a medium to long finish of spiciness that has some good bitterness to it. It is also dry. Excellent!

Marietta, Ga. - Bullocks Wine & Spirits - 12 oz bottle. Medim orange pour with thick stiicky white head that leaves good lacing. Sweet gumball-like aroma - hint of pine. Flavor is sweet and strong. Pick up some of the usual grapefruit of course - but there is some apricot, maple syrup, even chocolate. Very thick, creamy mouthfeel. Very solid - come to expect this form Lagunitas.

Light copper pour with a 1 finger short lasting head. Interesting beer. Like a cross between a IIPA and a cream ale. Mid level hops with some pine but semi sweet and slightly oily mouthfeel. Very smooth and ABV not noticable. Nice.

I dont get the name, for the radio or something? Maple color with a small head, some lacing. A sweet malt aroma some hop bitterness. Taste is sweet, much like most of these high ABV American ales. Some hop bitterness ot offset but not enough. Middle of the road.
