COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We brewed this especially bitter ale in dedication to all the world’s would-be astronauts, in remembrance of the 2005 St. Patrick’s Day Massacre on the Brewery Party Grounds and also in joyous celebration of our 20-day suspension that following January. Do the crime. Do the time. Get the bragging rights. Cheers!

On draft at mellow mushroom. Clear Mahogany color. Aroma is caramel, slightly piney and hoppy. Sweet taste, slight alcohol burn. Not my favorite lagunitas beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Undercover is everything Lagunitas is. Pine, caramel, bitter, robust and thick with citrus undertones. My #1 above a distant Shugga.

wchesser (667) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Deep mahogany brown. Nose is hot booze, toffee, and tobacco. Flavor follows, nice round palate, and bitter hop finish. Like a hot version of Hibernation.

Pours a reddish orange amber color with a cream colored head. Smell is sweet molasses with a caramel hoppy citrus nose. Taste is bitter sweet citrus with strong grapefruit and hints of alcohol. Finish is sweet and lingers with the same flavors. Quaff Score 8 / 10

Pours an red amber with a tan head and aroma of malt, caramel, grapefruit, and hops. Taste is sweet, of caramel, sweet malt, grapefruit, citrus, hops, and light fruit notes with a warming, long finish. Very good, delicious brew

dhunter151 (210) - Santa Rosa, California, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Pours dark amber with a white head. Sweet malt, some pine from hops. But mostly sweet. I like their Lucky 13 much better. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sample at the Lagunitas tap room. Strong tasting smooth drinking beer. Pretty nice, but probably best in small quantities.

EtTuCthulhu (396) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - MAY 19, 2013
The aroma of this brew is really only reminiscent of floral hops, but the orange color combined with the large off-white head was great to see in the glass once poured from the bottle. The taste is quite bitter and mildly sweet, which results in an amazing balance, and the palate combines a medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation, and a long finish.

dogfishho (470) - Bloomfield, New Jersey, USA - MAY 17, 2013
Pours a nice burnt umber with a big white head. The aroma is malt sweet with some piney hop presence this palate is sweet with a tangy finish. Solid. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
