Lagunitas Sonoma Farmhouse Hop Stoopid

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

22oz bottle shared by TheCaptain. Thanks Mark. Clear amber with a semi-lasting head. Both the aroma and flavor were exactly the same: grapefruit. Clean and uncomplex, this was the most grapefruit direct beer that I have ever had. Pretty good and at an unbeatable price.

Tastes like a lot of other DIPAs, well, except better. Immense tropical mango funky pineapple up front; it just smacks you! Hints of acetone in the aroma. Crazyaroma. Flavor is very bitter, obviously; grapefruit, citrus rind, sourdough bread, a little earthy and fruity in the flavor. Quite drinkable! Add.2 on rerate. Great beer, especially the aroma.

Getting Hop Stoopid with the guys is a good thing. Enjoyed at the tasting with the King of Hops drbayern, the kilted Prince celticbrew, Uncles Steve and Tom, our new Beer Pimp Brian and Dancing Paul. Pours into the glass a dark yellow. A really nice hoppy aroma prevales. The hops were very well balanced, with a great bittering finish!

Had this in a small lidded stein. Slight hazy amber orange with a decent foam head. Hops and citrus/pine on the nose with a good malt balance through the pallet. What kept me interested was the well balance body, not too hop heavy or citrus infused, the grain smoothness-a good drinker.

Bottle. Pored a slightly hazy golden color with a thin eggshell head. Very nice IPA, not sure if I would call it an IIPA but still very good. Excellent hop profile and very balanced much more so than say a Maharaja. Yum.

Bomber via Stefanje. I bow low to you sir for this gem. Piney yet fruity nose. A glorious clear as a bell amber in the tall glass. Head is bright but ephemeral. Some lacing but not a bunch. Body is medium and chock full of hops but not i an overpowering fashion. caramel malts balance it all out. Motre fruit appears near the finsiha dnthru it. A fine beer that was enjoyed on my porch overlooking my small hop farm. Woo Hoo for Stefanje!

22oz bomber served in a tulip. This beer poured a golden amber with a one-finger thick head of beige foam that quickly settled. Some spotty lacing was left around the glass. The aroma included grapefruit and strong orange. Also some light caramel. Not quite as fragrent as I was hoping. The flavor was very nice. Not quite a 9, but maybe a bit better than an 8. Tropical fruit, pine, and an abundance of fresh grapefruit notes. Piney and herbal. A lingering bitterness continued after each drink. Very nice. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had light to moderate carbonation. A solid IPA.

tart citrus flavor, bitter resinous piney finish. Very grapefruity and fresh. not overly malty and sweet, but definetely more than an ipa.
