Lagunitas Sonoma Farmhouse Hop Stoopid

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

Bottle.Oh My what a great beer. Pours with a great golden to yellow color. Great frothy head,. Fine floral aromas, very complex flavors of floral hops, some malts and citrus and spices. No real alcohol taste, very smooth. One of the best DIPAs I know of.

We just picked up a barrel of the Stoopid today. It’s a big beer--bold flavor and aroma. The hops come dashing through the nose, over the palate, and stick around for a while. While it is heavy on the hops, it has a complex character and a good malt backbone. It has a rich copper hue that is very inviting when held up to the light.

Bottle from Capone’s - Clear, golden color with a medium white head. Aroma is of fresh cut Floral/citrus/Grassy hops with a lot of sweetness and a pleasant outdoorsy essence. Flavor is fresh & sweet - Hops! Floral & citrus dominate, but the sweet malts play nice and are augmented by a nice "Farmhousy" taste and mouthfeel - the hops linger oh so nicely. A bit different, but wonderfully smooth and enjoyable with a fantastic tingle. By far my favorite Lagunitas to date.

like a four-hearted ale, great flavor but too much co2,
fresh-sweet-citrus backdrop, piney-hop-resin forefront.

22 oz bomber purchased at Spirits RB. Poured a great looking honey hued amber with a pillowy off white head that left tons of lace on my Allagash glass and a large pile of head pooled on one side of my glass as well. The aroma was the perfect marriage of hop bitterness and malty sweetness that I can only describe as hop syrup. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and hop flavors linger with a light bitterness. Flavor of recently crushed hop cones, citrus rind, grains, lots of hop sweetness. Phenomenal beer and at such a beautiful price as well.

22 oz bomber. Pours dark clear orange. White head that sort of lingers. Lacing is pretty pretty. Aroma of grapefruit on steroids (just after a 2 hour long workout). Tastes like biting into a grapefruit/flower flavored pineapple. Taste lingers on the palate, daring you to take another sip. Aftertaste becomes stronger and stronger grapefruit/hops. I don’t know how they did it, but this beer is like you favorite IPA, except on steroids. Watch out, you might get hooked!

22oz. bomber. Outstanding. beer starts w/ a thick chewy pine tar resin mouth filling hit backed by hints of vanilla cream. Like an exploding firework the taste smoothly transitions to crisp grapefruit & tangerine flowers. Beautiful balance. Lagunitas really makes some excellent limited release brews.

Really....will it get better than this? I am so glad the guys at Lagunitas decided to make this a regular production beer and not a seasonal. I really don’t see a need to blather on about this as it seems everyone here tends to agree that this is AWESOME IPA.
