22 ounce bottle, lets hope for the best with this old bottle. Pours cloudy orange amber color with a fairly dense 2 finger off white head with great retention that reduces to a fairly thick lacing cap. Some lacing sticks to the glass as you drink as well. Aromas of caramel, bread, pine, grapefruit, orange zest, and a bit of spiciness. Interesting IPA aromas, but nice stuff. Taste of big grapefruit, caramel, pine, orange zest, and a bit of breadiness. Big sweetness in the front followed by a decent amount of bitterness on the finish that lingers with pine and citrus flavors. A bit more malt forward on this one as expected from the age of the bottle. Medium carbonation and body; with nice smooth drinkability that goes down easily. No alcohol in the taste or finish. Overall a very nice IPA from Lagunitas, even if it was old.

Hazy light amber color; medium sized creamy head. Good hop aroma, maybe not too fresh, but nice indeed, with resiny hops, fruity, a bit creamy. Toffee flavor, on the dry side; nevertheless the body is well constructed, even if lean, and smooth; the bitterness is extremely high and resiny, leading to a strong final. Maybe too old and not fresh anymore, but it shows all the qualities of Lagunitas.

Bomber. Frothy, off-white head, mostly diminishing. The body is a deep gold. Fairly light aroma of grapefruit, resin, toasted grain, caramel and bread. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and moderately bitter with some light acidity. Medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Signature Lagunitas taste comes through in the finish — that grainy, slightly dirty malt/yeast flavor — though not near as forward as it is in their American strong ales. This is a solid, easy-drinking APA.

bottle, pours gold with a tall frothy white head. Nice piney hop aroma. Sweet malt and a very nice lemon rind/hoppy bitter finish. Dry as hell and I like it.

A golden ale with a thin lacing white head. A bready and fruity pale ale with fragrant light c-hops in aroma. In mouth, a nice ale with good biscuitty malt, with light floral and citrussy hops, resinous, yet restrained. Medium bodied. On tap at brewery, August 16 2009.

22 oz. bomber. A brewer who quotes Firesign Theatre on the label and has a series of Zappa beers! Sounds like… a thousand other guys I went to college with. Big hoppy smell right under the cap, earthy and English at first. After pouring, I get that familiar American citrus and pine smell, with a little apricot nectar behind it. Gold to amber color, big lacy head of foam in my glass. True, it’s not a double IPA, alcohol is not overbearing, but not sessionable either. Hop taste is "bright," suggesting a glass of OJ at breakfast. They sure are doing interesting experiments with alphas these day. Malts stay light, as the color indicates, to let the hops play through, so lighter on that palate than a Sierra Nevada. Unique in its choice of components.

Bottle pours a hazy yellow witha white fluffy head. Wonderful aroma of fresh west coast citrusy hops. Big bitter hop flavor. Overmatching the malt backbone a bit. Light malt flavors that struggle to keep their head above the raging torrent that is the Alpha Acid onslaught. Moderate carbonation and some slightly sediment or chalky feel. Long steady bitter trailer that fades like a vapor trail behind a F-4 cruising at Mach 2. Why is this not an IPA ?
