Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Extra! Ale
Lots of wheat for a curious malt complexity and leaving it light in color, but huge in flavor and satisfaction

from a 12 oz bottle into a FBD glass. The aroma is thick hoppy resiny piney thing with a caramel piss color. The flavor is a strong hoppy early 2000s style bitter wallop of wavy hop fields and citrusy undercurrents. It is fairly palatable for a 8.7% abv but this one isn't fooling anyone, it is a boozy sipper. Good for souping and best showing in the kitchen on a poopy pizza tummy 2sday.
Ok
Draft at Mad Mex. straw color with medium head. Aroma is fresh tropical fruit. Taste is tropical citrus hop and pine. Medium heavy bitter. Average carbonation. Some warming alcohol. Medium body. It's good.
Smells like an IPA rich and very Hoppy. Head is white and goes away a few min but has excellent lacing.When I was done my glass had rings all down it. The taste is excellent. Hops, citrus, piney, finishes smooth and slightly bitter.
Good ale with some spicey notes and fruity tones. It's not exactly an IPA, but related, good drinker
A very interesting and curious brew. Highly malted and highly hopped. You could also really taste the yeast too. But what makes it so curious is a very strong and definitely note of grapefruit in the aftertaste. It could almost be fermented grapefruit juice if the hops and malts weren't so prevalent. The grapefruit sourness keeps you from kicking it back . I think it is a good beer but One I find more interesting than quaffable
This draft brew from a restaurant was served at a cool temperature and poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a softly carbonated body transparent yellow orange colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was malt hop. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a medium hoppy aftertaste. The deep flavor contained notes of hops. A decent one that I would consider drinking again.
Faint aroma of crisp, spicy hops. Dark translucent amber. Lots of lacing. Robust malt flavor with a little hop bite and bitterness on the top. Very nice body, very nice flavor. I need to get more of this!
Bottle from my buddy Jon. Heavy malt light hop with soft finish. Surprisingly tasty with such a powerful malty brew
Nice balance of hops and malt. Pours clear gold, substantially structured white head. Balance holds throughout, aroma and taste. Particularly like the big malt body behind the hops, providing a sweet counter to the hops. A big chewy, satisfying ale
light malt, moderate citrus aromas. gold and clear in color with nice long lasting head. taste is well balanced. notes of citrus, pine, and resin, with underlying malt background
Aroma: lite nose of honey, flowers and grass. Surprisingly weak aroma.
Taste: malt, honey, notes of grass and pines. Well balanced. No hints of alcohol
Nice body but still very malty. Overall a very average dipa. Head that last. Overall sweet grain light hop meh.
33ml Bottle at Sijf. A very well made beer but didn’t excite me too much. Have had many alike before (Brooklyn east IPA?)
Wow, is this a good beer! I’d not tried it before because I thought the name was a bit hokey, but I’m not sure if ales get any better than this. Wonderful flavor and balance. Just as well I only included one bottle in the sampler six-pack I just bought. So many micro-brewery beers and so little time to taste them all -- seems like there ought to be a law against that. I will continue my quest for the perfect beer but in the meantime this one is going to be in the fridge as one of my reference standards.
Pours near clear golden with an initial froth that fades quickly to a ring. Aroma is amazing - bread dough, biscuit, a slight sweet of citrus. I could sniff this all day. Flavor brings more hop punch to the mix with the start of the sip with more citrus character and a hint of pine. Unlike so many current dipas, this mild bitter tang is very well balanced by a never-overdone malt backbone, near perfect in the balance to remain smooth and only medium-bodied. Finish is incredibly smooth, a slight sweet fades to a lasting mild bitter, insisting on another sip. The smoothness and drinkability is remarkable.
Bottle from the TJ’s in Davis, CA. Pours orangey gold with a white head. Aroma of pale stone fruits. Med body or so. Flavor is fruit, a little malty and something light orange follows. Not entirely dry, but nicely bitter. Quite pleasing.
Clean dark gold color with a fluffy, blanketing head of thick white foam. Complex aromas and flavors that come off as Captain Crunchberries. A touch of tropical fruit and sweet citrus dancing all around all leading to a moderately dry pine sap finish.
Big hoppy, wheaty boogeyman, combining the sweet banana and booze base of an imperial hefeweizen with Lagunitas orange hop madness. Very, very fruity on the back end, orange marmalade meshing with slight hints of dank and pine. Perfect texture, effervescent but not overly so, with the alcohol hidden. Nose is no great shakes, but damned if it isn’t a pretty pint, brigt straw gold with ample head and lace. Solid.
Pours a light yellow, aroma is fresh light citrus and stone fruit. Very soft for 8.5%. Lovely
I’m not sure whats happened but I used to love this beer and it hasn’t seemed the same the last few times I’ve had it, maybe they’ve changed it. It’s still ok but not great.
Great IPA. Fairly widely available. Good color and great balance. Not too fruity, bitter, or sweet. Another winner from Lagunitas
Decent American ale. Not too fruity. Hoppy yet smooth and robust. Color is very golden and clear. Taste isn’t remarkable or bland. Doesn’t linger on the palate. Overall quality ale.
Amber color. Citrus aromas, wheat and bread. Taste is also heavy citrus, oranges and grapefruit, sweet malt base and hoppy finish. Pretty good!
Looks nice golden, clear and decent foam - leaving beautiful lacings. Aroma is mainly dominated with hops, there is fresh cut grass and also some pine character - that is balanced with bread biscuit grain dust. Taste has its fair share of sweetness but hops are strong as well and are balancing this quite nicely. It has some unusual feel to the body, somewhat fuller and grainier than all-malt beer, wheat is making wonders and contributing to the uniqueness here. Goes down probably faster than it should.
Draught at Hilpeä Hauki. Amber color, white head. Bitter taste with citrus, caramel, hops, resin, peach and grass. Bitter finish with citrus, malts, caramel, hops, peach and grass. Very nice brew.
Tap@ BierBier. Pours golden color with a thick white head.
Malty, caramelly even aroma, dark fruits and grapefruit. Flavor has malt, sweetness, grapefruit, dark fruits. Bitter long finish. Good but almost too sweet.
(Keg at Hilpeä Hauki, 20160610) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, molasses and sweetness. Palate was rather full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, sweetness, pine, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, malty and bitter. More like a barley wine than a double IPA. Nice.
Dourada translúcida, espuma bege de boa formação e persistência. Aroma de malte caramelado, lúpulo resinal, pêssego em calda, doce. Paladar de médio dulçor e amargor. Final segue o paladar inicial, média persistência.
