Cloudy orange-copper with big, creamy off-white head / Big citrus and fresh pine nose / Medium body, good fruit with sharp, fresh hops, and long finish/ Bright flavors of fresh cut pine, apricots, grapefruit, lemon, and bubblegum / Spectacular.

Clear copper pour with a small, lasting white head...Sweet, sugary malt aroma...Full creamy body....Malty, bready flavor...Hint of hops in the finish...Smooth...

This is really nice. An excellent floral hop aroma and flavor. Smooth and with a light biting finish. Quite nice and drinkable.

An incredibly tasty cream ale from Lagunitas. It is a very hoppy and almost tangy/spicy cream ale with a touch of sweetness, but still keeps a fine balance of strength and smoothness. Pours golden brown with a delicous creamy head.

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 courtesy of Irishsnake. High-gravity cream ale, wtf? Anything for marketing originality I guess. Well this pours a clear apple-juice amber with a bit of bubble action and a smallish lasting off-white head...lots of fuit in the nose, a complex medley of cherries, blueberries, apricots; some nice caramel malt underneath, earthy-spicy pungency, this nose is really quite amazing I could smell it until the beer is undrinkably warm....mmm, the flavor holds up, creamy and juicy with poached spiced pears subtly affecting the predominant malty, full body...light floral character underpinnings and supple, well-integrated late herbal hop character generates a truly remarkable American pale, effortlessly quaffable with no hints of the alcohol. This could be a regular everyday beverage for me if I could get it in Vermont...wow what a pleasant surprise.

light clear copper body with a thick lacing nicotine stain looking head. this is a sixpack i’m glad i bought. it’s gonna be a good night. i am thinking nugget when i smell this, incredible lemon fried pie nose with a cool cut grass scent. hints at some sweetness. a nice aroma to put it lightly. they are trying to call this a high grav cream ale, i’m thinking west coast amber. the hops are amazingly bold, but work with the malt perfectly. the alcohol is a bit too abrasive though, along with a sulphur note after the 2nd. grass and lemon custard finish that is a pleasure. the custard/pie flavor is great throughout this. rich velvety sweet pudding flavor that i love. i’m going to drink so much of this in the next month or two.

One of my favorite breweries is Lagunitas they have quality brews and I’ve never been disappointed. This one from Lagunitas pours a cloudy dark caramel orange with yeast floating throughout leaving a thick tan head. The aroma is fruit candy, plum, figs, hops, citrus, and tons of bready floural notes. The taste is sweet like prune juice, figs, with a caramel blast finish with a nice hoppy bite to balance this brew out. This is a great cream ale far and above the best I’ve come across great job Lagunitas!
