Lagunitas Sonoma Farmhouse Hop Stoopid

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Petaluma, California USA

Pours clear amber, with a medium beige head, excellent and lasting lacing. Strong aroma of pine and grapefruit, with some floral notes. Medium-thin body, smooth and velvety. Some bready and caramel flavors, but mostly a complex blend of hops, pine, grapefruit and grass. Fairly strong bitter aftertaste. Delicious.

Pours a beautiful copper into the glass with a white head. Aroma is very piney like those air fresheners that used to be ubiquitous in cabs, but in a good way! Sniffing deep beyond the hops a slightly sweet caramel malt is present. Flavor is surprisingly delicate. Intense hops for sure, but seemingly on the back end and accompanied by a nice malt backbone. Perfect level of carbonation gives this beer a nice medium bodied mouthfeel. For 3.49 a bomber this is an awesome bargain!

22 ounce bomber. Poured a nice straw color with a thin bubbly head that had nice lacing. Aroma was rich with pine notes, some citrus and a nice soap smell. Great hops flavor and a perfect balance with malt notes. Smooth, rich and it never seemed heavy. All around a a great beer.

this beer we just started getting in Texas. WOW! great beer . the appearance is really light for an IPa its almost pilsner color. Poured in to my 22oz southern star glass which comes in handy for those bombers :) the head was 2 fingers thick dissipated quickly The nose is great. Cirusy, oily, orange, piney HEAVEN YES! if you like nice citrusy hopped beers try this one

Bottle: The aroma is loaded with hops...lots of orange, apricot, and grapefruit. It pours a transparent golden-orange with a small white head. The flavor starts with lots of orange and apricot. Light-moderate sweetness in the middle followed by a well balanced grapefruit finish. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Very drinkable.

Gold pour with a frothy, 1 finger, white head and good lacing. Loads of sweet, bright, citrus and bubblegum esters in the aroma with some resinous pine notes and toffee malt. More fresh wet hops in the flavor with lots of grapefruit and pine and a big caramel malt background. Sticky medium body with enough carbonation to wash down all those hop oils. Great stuff. Tastes just like fresh Hopslam.

Transparent bronze, small foamy white head. Lots of grapefruit and fresh pine, like that first scent of the Christmas tree. The flavor is still quite bitter, but a lot of the fresh hop notes are drowned amid sugary malt and sweet fruit, minor grapefruit still hanging around. Moderate body but quite robust palate, moderate finish, bitter in orange and caramel. Some bright moments, but it fails in the same way that so many other IIPAs do.

Bottle as shown. Pours a copper golden with a small paperthin white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong pine hops with grapefruit and floral notes. Good sticky lacing on the glass. Thin body with pine hops and veggies with a nice bitter finish. Not too overpowering in hops or bitterness, very smooth, a very impressive IIPA from Lagunitas.
