Lagunitas Sonoma Farmhouse Hop Stoopid

poured golden with a decent head that faded to a nice lacing. smelled of hops, grapefruit, and pine. tasted of hops and citrus. very good.

a damn fine IIPA espically for the money. pours out your typical coppery color with a thick head. aroma is biig on pine, grass and citrus. flavor is slightly malty with a big resiny finish. a great brew.

Poured from 22oz bomber. Nice heavy, piney/hoppy aroma. Clear copper/orange body with very thin head. Taste screams west-coast DIPA but is extremely well balanced among hops, malt, sweetness, and aromatic characteristics. Excellent mouthfeel. This one has moved onto my personal "Top 5" list of DIPAs... maybe even the Top 3 if I get a chance to taste it on tap.

Bomber from Whole Foods on May 31, 2009. Its aroma is so sweetly hoppy that I can easily smell it sitting feet away from me - and my nose isn’t that great. Poured an amber-orange color and formed an thick, off-white head. Great lacing. Its aroma floral and hoppy, fresh. Like the beer was taken right off the hop vine. For 100+ IBU it’s quite easy to drink. Nothing overly bitter, but has a great flavor. I imagine it’s not easy cramming 100+ IBUs into a beer and making it this easy to drink. Kudos to Lagunitas, my heroes...

I’ve been waiting to try this one on tap before writing a review. Thanks to Redlight Redlight (Orlando), that time has come!! The huge, fresh aroma consists of mostly grapefruit citrus with minor pine and floral tones . It has a clear copper to amber appearance with minimal white head. I love the sticky intricate lacing it leaves on my glass. The taste is similar to the awesome aroma and the bitterness is balanced with a nice sharp sweetness that lingers on the back of your tongue with an oily, resinous texture. There’s really no alcohol burn and I find this beer highly drinkable as I keep sipping to try to wash down that sweet, oily taste/feeling in the back of my throat. The ABV is at the top of my preferred range and after two pints I feel great. The first time I had this beer it became an instant favorite and as I continue to try other IPAs and DIPAs, I am always disappointed they don’t taste more like this.

Aroma is pure pine hops. Somewhat earthy on the pour. Body is a clear dark orange with a really thin coating of carbonated head that leaves quickly with no lacing. Taste is almost a sweet candy bitter. Really nice palate.

Draft at Taphouse. fantastic hop aroma with an incredible fruity hop flavor. Perfect balance of sweet and bitter. Can’t believe the ABV on this one. Incredibly drinkable and definitely one of the best IPA’s I’ve had.
