Bottle. Pour is a slightly deep gold color with a thin fizzy head and some sticky lacing. Some malt, some earthiness, some citrus. Tastes of unique belgian yeast, earthy hops, grains, citrus, and biscuit malt. Well balanced with a dry, slightly bitter finish.

$8.65 a six pack, bottled July 22, 2013.

A- a clear light gold with a 1 finger head of foam and has some great lacing.

S- it smells yeasty of the Belgian kind with a lot of hop bitterness.

T- starts of pretty bitter, get some light sweetness and tartness, moves on to Belgian yeasty flavour, which I dig. Pretty bitter and dry in the finish. Alcohol is not a factor in the taste at all and minimal after the swallow.

M- on the upper end of medium bodied, medium carbonation, a very nice mouthfeel.

O- I reckon for what this beer brings to the table, it’s a real bargain for what I paid for it and it is super fresh. IMHO, a very authentic Belgian IPA. Well done, Lagunitas.

Bottle - Orange, grains and yeast. Clear gold with a light bubbly head. Grapefruit and yeast are quite prominent and the finish is quite bitter. Not a big fan of the Belgian IPA styles.

At Craft Beer Base’s IPA event. Bottle. It poured a clear gold with a creamy quickly dissipating head. The aroma was a pine and funk! It’s very smooth with a spicy malt flavor followed by a bit of a fruity spicy bitterness. I found it very mellow for an IPA, you don’t notice the high ABV. I liked it alot.

22 ounce bottle. Hazy honey gold color topped by a big foamy white head. Obvious piney hop nose. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor is dominated by the huge pine/grapefruit hop explosion that greets you with the first quaff. Notes of black pepper and citrus persist. The finish is dry and hoppy with a subtle Belgian yeast twang. Nice Belgian lace and the head stays til the last sip.

Draft at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Medium hazy orange body, medium clumping cream head. Peachy, sweet nose with hints of pineapple and notes of bubblegum (Dubble Bubble). Soft and rich. Grassy body, sweet with light fruit, bubblegum, spice, and warming alcohol.
