22 oz. bottle in a shaker glass. Starts with a great smell. Citrusy pine, then a bit of mango. Cloudy orange pale ale body, fluffy head turns a bit rocky after a minute. Taste is no hop bomb, but there is plenty of citrus, especially grapefruit, and a faint pepper burn. I do detect a bit of a soapy aftertaste, but not too distracting. Once there’s room in the glass for my nose, I get a grainy smell like when I walk into a brewpub on brewday and the door to the works is wide open. Pretty nice. Malts to the edge of chewy. Great Lagunitas price of $4.99/bottle, often sale at Sam’s for even less.
