I was pleasantly surprised by this beer. An IPA with some bite, yet still refreshing. Lots of piney and citrusy hints to balance out the caramel aroma. Refreshing balance between the hops and malt in the finish as well.

This beer was a staple in my house this past summer. And while it’s just now I’m getting around to input my thoughts on this beer, I still have several bottles and while they aren’t as potent as they were in July, it’s still really damned good.

The beer pours out a straighforward amber color with huge amounts of clingy head and intricate lace patterns left behind. A stunning fluffy, light tan/off-white head stays with you the entire pint. The beer oozes citrusy goodness with a floral angle that works really well for me. Slight notes of bread and caramel are also accounted for. Flavor has a stunning piney hop note, peppery with a helping dose of caramel to smooth things out nicely. Even now with the beer past it’s price, it’s still prickly enought to let you know that it was a solid IPA and still easy to drink.

22oz. bottle: Been saving this, hope not too long. Pour: Orange-gold with a rich off-white cap, great retention and lacing. Aroma: Peaches and biscuit malt some floral-citrus notes. Good body, rich caramel malts in the front balanced with peachy esters and citrus-pine hop bite which goes bitter in the finish. A great IPA and a tribute to a great man.

Pours with a deep orange-gold body topped by a thick, off-white head with lots of lacing. It’s bitter with an underlying peach and citrus note that adds a little sweetness as well as some acidity. The finish is very bitter. Medium bodied and dry.

Pale clear orange colour with a small white foam. Sharp hoppy aroma of grapefruit, grass and cat pee. Medium bodied with strong hoppy notes of grapefruit, grass and ink. Long, clean bitter finish of grass, grapefruit and ink (cat-pee).

Bottle courtesy of Unclemattie: Poured a clear amber color ale with a medium foamy head with minimal lacing. Aroma of cascade hops with some medium bitterness. Taste consists of medium caramel malt with some traces of c-hops bitterness and light floral notes. Body is about average with some good carbonation. Very average overall.

Bottle, thanks to my son Steinar. Golden colour, large head. Nice aroma of fruity American hops. The flavour is sweet and hoppy with a very bitter finish, but I don’t get much complexity, let alone subtlety. I’m not a big fan of this one.

Nice hazy Orange color with a light orange head. Something with Lagunitas beers that sting the mouth??? Flavor was hops and a bit of citrus notes. Refreshing beer.

Aroma is very strong and apply, more like a cider than an ale, but with a strong hop undertone. Color is transparent orangy amber, and the head is fairly thick and persistent. Flavor is very hoppy, with just the right amount of bitterness so you taste it but you don't feel as it it is assaulting your tongue. Very smooth, an ale to be sipped and contemplated.

A yellow/orangish color with a moderate white head. The aroma is quite nice, floral with some peaches, oranges, and tangerines. The flavor is well balanced with some grapefruit, lemons, and tangerines. This one has a nice malt backbone to it. The finish is somewhat bitter but also a tad bit sweet. Overall a very nice beer!
