Jun 30, 2009
Poured from 22oz bottle into a thistle style glass (my favorite) leaving plenty of room for the four inch head!
Appearance - The color is golden orange with a creamy off white head of tightly packed bubbles that recede somewhat quickly leaving perfect lacing.
Smell - The first hint is of pine and grapefruit followed by tangerine and malt.
Taste - Strong hops that linger, sharp and crisp. The aftertaste is bitter, and sweet like grass.
Mouthfeel - The mouthfeel is awesome. A lot like PTE although a little heaver.
Drinkability - Very drinkable! Like I said it’s a lot like PTE but more accessible. (I have to drive 80mi for the Pliny). I will most definitely buy it again... and again.
Great beer and at $3.99 at the local market how can I go wrong!? Good job Lagunitas!

Jan 6, 2010 Beer poors light copper with a slight white head. Aroma is excellent definately screaming hops. The Beer has an excellent hoppy taste with a nice malty balance. The palate is dry but hoppiness adds mouthfeel. Overall this beer is great and I look forward to having it again.

Jan 4, 2010 Very enjoyable; even if there are complexities in the overall experience this is one of those beers that is honest and pretty much what you’d expect from a double IPA.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle. Pours hazy amber with an off-white head. The aroma is as expected with pine and citrusy hop notes. A noticeable resiny character and slightly sticky in mouthfeel however I get a feeling the in your face punch of hoppyness has faded over some time in the bottle. It’s still good drinking though for what it’s worth.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle. Thin two finger head when poured it has a great orange/amber color. There is an aroma of the floral hops with a great citrus smell. You can taste the hops right off the bat, then a citrus and pine taste. Good carbonation. Great brew

Jan 2, 2010 Nose is heavily citrus, orange, and grassy/piny hops; a little bread and caramel. Copper/straw color with a white, frothy head that stays with the beer to a small extent all the way down the glass. Flavor is very bitter, very fresh and citrusy. Medium-thick mouthfeel; lightly sticky on the lips. Not quite my style but a very good beer.

Jan 1, 2010 Golden orange pour with one finger of white head. Nose is floral, citrus, and hops. Taste is big hops with a sweet barley in the middle and bitter hops at the backend. The palate is thin and refreshing. Great ipa.

Jan 1, 2010 Massive white head that sticks around for a while. this one is huge, but it is very well balanced. The malt is a plenty on this one. The hops are not overedone. A cedar type hoppiness resonatesthroughout this one. just a solid beer
