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.

Flaske. Rødlig gul øl, med et lille skum. Udmærket duft af humle, og en god smag af det. Ikke så meget bitterhed men kunne evt. være fordi den ikke var helt frisk. Det eneste problem med denne øl er at mundfylden er en kende tynd.

Love Lagunitas, but this one wasn’t my cup of beer. It tasted like a fully confused lager. There was some creaminess there, but the palate just wasn’t right.

THOUGHTS: Wow! Another American Strong Ale from Lagunitas. One day maybe they will try something different. This made me realize I should only be drinking wheat beers for the rest of the summer. This one got me sweating. Nothing special, but still a nice beer. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, medium amber with a small, fizzy, off-white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was extremely sweet. There was caramel malt, light hops and a little brown sugar. The initial flavor was moderately sweet, and lightly acidic and bitter; while the finish was moderately sweet and bitter, and lightly acidic with and average to long duration. There was caramel malt and then some hops with a hint of citrus. The medium body was sort syrupy, but then dry with soft carbonation and a sort of metallic finish.

Half inch cream-colored head. Spicy floral and malt aroma. Color is a unique copper-orange hue and fairly clear. Very appealing appearance. Taste is balanced malt, with slight lemony zest, and bit of hop spice. Nice lingering finish.
