19.2 ounce can from a BYO section at Festival Northland, 6/21/25. I'm not holding up much hope for this despite my love for Lagunitas. They are about to disappoint me. I hope I'm wrong. Clear purpleamber. Medium tan head, average retention. Aroma of straight fruit punch and nothing else. It's like WOW. Taste matches. Hint of hops. They're cheating, chasing the alco-op trend. I can kinda get it, but I am disappointed. Luckily I have some hoppy beer to follow.
