Lagunitas Sirius Ale

Slightly hazed orange body. Fizzy off-white head. Aged malt aroma. Faded hops. Flavor is much of the same. Caramel, sweet fruit. Nothing outstanding but okay.

Interesting concept. Clear amber pour with a well retained off white head. Light fruity nose reminiscent of cherry, apple, berries and dried apricots. Also noted are mellow grassy hops and doughy vanilla. Flavor is almost as original and savory. Hints of fruit are quickly overtaken by a pleasant malt profile that denotes toasted grains, white pepper and toffee. A really tasty brew, finishing with a creamy and somewhat balanced finish. Palate is medium to full. I wish this weren’t so high in alcohol, I could drink it all day. One of my favorites from a brewer that consistently dissapoints. This one was truly a surprise and were it not for the high gravity I’d session with it regularly.

Orange-golden; very slight haze; frothy, creamy, off-white head. Floral hop aroma; citrus, caramel, brown sugar (!?), spices, and dark fruit. Flavor is nice; good hop bite; bready; citrus; light alcohol twinge. Mouthfeel is spectacular for the style; full and frothy and not stick; perfect. This is really, really good.

Clear medium orange color & very bubbly - lively head. Aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, grapefruit and a little yeast. Flavor is a little hard to describe - a little alcoholic, notes of spices, orange, grapefruit. Has a little of a warming quality but is also a little harsh and doesn’t seem balanced quite right. It all adds up to a decent beer that doesn’t quite fit into a neat and tidy category.

Poured from bottle. Nice golden orange color and for me it had a large white head that stayed for quite some time. Great smell! Sweet. Definitely taste some orange, caramel, and even tasted some nuttieness! I dont normally like hoppy beers, but this one is blended quite nice and I enjoyed it much!

Great beer! Kind of a creamy IPA. It has a hoppy aroma and I will take that anyday!

Thanks to drewbeerme for this sample. 12 oz bottle pours a hazy orange with a fading head of tiny bubbles. Orange tangerine aroma very ipa like with an overemphasis on those orange citrus hops. Orange tangerine flavors with a sweet creaminess underneath that fades to a bitter orange finish. A very strange combination of flavors, palatable but strange. I’m kind of confused by what Lagunitas is doing.

12oz bottle. pours a hazy orange with small head. aroma is pretty hoppy with a sweet malt and orange. flavor has is rather orangey and tangeriane, pretty hoppy too. the flavors don’t mix well and this isn’t highly enjoyable. i dont think i could drink 12oz of this.
