Freshness date late October ( month ago) I love this nose, citrus hops just come screaming out. Notes of peach as well and a hint of pine. (There is not enough malt in the nose for the style, but I just like the nose too much to downgrade it more than a point.) Very white head, very good retention, nice lace, unusually yellow body for style. Mouth is just a bit thin but has nice carbonation levels. The flavor is lovely, it just not an APA; taste like a session IPA but with greater alcohol presence...thats not a bad taste at all, just off for style, very lacking in malt backbone. Don;t get me wrong, would have this again and is very quaffable. If i was grading this while ignoring style it would be a solid 4, but alas.

Nice nose mild flowery hops and sweet malt notes. Pours a small head that is light caramel colored and long lasting with little lace over a a very cloudy copper/brown body. Really nice mouth, medium bodied, slippery and tingly, carbonation spot on. I am digging this flavor profile. Its IPAish but also hints at a brown ale. Presents with a malty sweetness very earthy and finishes moderately bitter and very dry. The alcohol is present in the end and warming. Winner Winner !

Nose starts with lemon and malt, after a few minutes floral notes appear. Nice white head with good retention and very nice lace sits atop a cloudy, unfiltered, medium gold body. For a lager the mouth is quite full, a bit creamy and a bit chewy. Very nice carbonation level. The 65IBU's are NOT hidden, this baby is dry and bitter throughout. malt is upfront in the initial taste hit with just a bit of honey flavor, then gets floral and tropical with lavender and sour kumquat, finish is dry as a bone and clean. For a "hybrid" product this is not weird, well balanced, and very well done!

Mild nose for an IPA, pine and sour fruit. Well, yes, its pretty in a Guinness widget sort of way. Huge head, good lace medium copper body. Mouth due to nitro widget is very creamy, odd for a so-called (we will get to that) IPA but fun. Not very bitter even with 5 hops involved (3 of them for dry hopping) more like a Pale than an IPA. Main flavor is coming from what I suspect is a proprietary yeast, a flavor detected in their stout as well. Good amount of roasted malt in the flavor. Very drinkable and a nice change of pace.

Mild nose of well balanced pine and bread, hint of sour jam. Pours a massive rocky head with OK lace atop a medium copper body.Mouth is dry and medium bodied. Predominant flavor is medicinal and not in a good way.I may be showing my age but this tastes a bit like underarm deoderant; aluminum chlorohydrate. It starts OK and has a nice bitter mid taste but the finish is really bad, sour + chemical, nasty nasty finish!

Nose is sour for the style, with cotton candy sweet notes...not lovely. Pretty pour with a very long-lasting head and moderate lace, medium amber clear body. Mouth is a bit creamy and medium bodied with good carbonation level. Flavor is off and a bit off-putting. Its a bit buttery, which I kind of like in an APA (and maybe this should be classified as an EPA or even ESP but i had to make a choice.) But the overwhelming sourness is just wrong for style. So so malt backbone could be stronger, crystal malts too sweet, nasty medicinal finish.

Good night Irene. Ok, got this at the local, thought it was an IPA...is not, its a GD lager! Nose is tropical, medium amber body, good head good lace. Mouth is sticky, thick, full bodied. Very sting malt backbone over which are presented killer hops notes that are mostly tropical, deep ripe fruit. Alcohol slightly present and very warming. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A LAGER!!! Amazing brew, perhaps top three!

COMPLETE REVISON 11/2016 I suppose if you have to fit its into a category Saison is OK, but really thinks a "traditional" ale. Very unusual nose, licorice, ripe fruit, grass. Not quite clear pale apricot colored body topped with good and long lasting head and OK lace. Mouth is a medium with good fiz. Flavor is so unusual its hard to read. Tastes of rye, some funk, lightly smoked malts, great battering finish very dry. Truly unfiltered it left a serious amount of gunk in the bottom of the bottle. I really really loved this beer.

Scarey nose befitting of the ABV..... smith bros fought drops, menthol, figs...scents I associate with very big beers. Moderate orange body, nice moderate off-white head with very good retention and hints of lace. Mouth slightly thin yet chewy. I am following Sip of Sunshine with this brew so I am gonna have a nibble or two and come back to it. OK, back at it. I have great respect for Lagunitas, for all there bold out there experiments, but sometimes you have to know when to holed, know when to fold them. Alcohol doesn't always have to be completely masked but hey, grain alcohol as the dominant flavor just does NOT work for me. Flavor follows the nose... a sweet cloying flowers followed by some bitter herbal notes lots of rubbing alcohol and a syrupy finish.......... Right now this is, to me, like their Brown Shugga gone bad.OK, this might get better a bit warmer...I'll be back. >...............OK, its warmer now. Its better now but only in the sense that it has grown less alcohol dominated and that flavor has now become cough syrupy.

Nose of Pear, Pine, and Tropical Fruit. Pours a light copper body with a huge frothy white head with good retention and good lace. Mouth is a bit chewy, moderately slick, quite fizzy. Pretty nice flavor profile....significantly bitter throughout...papaya notes, earthy tones, has a high note that is lemony, finish is dry...alcohol is slightly warming, well balanced...well done!

Don't think this beer exists anymore. This review was for Half Full's Pursuit IPA. Pine and raisin in the nose and some floral notes, some honey, some mint. Deep copper body with moderate off-white head, decent lace and retention. Nice mouth, slightly slick, slightly creamy. Complex and well balanced flavor profile. Very good malt backing with tangy and flavor hops well presented. Finish is dry and clean. A very well made brew.

Lots of malt in the nose with citrus hop notes. Medium copper body is topped by fair white head with little lacing. Mouth is almost spot on, medium bodied, slightly still, a bit slick. Flavor is fairly complex, malt hits first followed by a pretty good bitter bite; grapefruit/blood orange and a bit more sweetness then usual for an IPA, very drinkable. Perhaps more similar to an APA then an IPA due to excellent balance. Good brew!

Nose if fruity and floral hops, inviting. Body is surprisingly pale yellow with small white head that leaves a skim coat and some lace. Mouth is a bit thin and perhaps a bit flat. Flavor... they went a bit nuts with the tropical fruit, tastes a bit like pineapple gone bad. Very little malt in the profile. Hint of bitter at the end that does not balance well with the fruity profile, comes off as metallic. Worst Oskar offering I have tasted so far.

notes of lemon and wildflowers in the nose, pours a copper body with a long lived off white head and slight lace. Good IPA mouth, medium bodied and perhaps a bit to fizzy. Flavor is a bit sweet which is kind of nice as a change of pace. Good bitterness level, hops more floral than resinous, pretty nice brew and a bit too drinkable,

Nice nose... Some pine, some ripe tropical fruit. Medium gold body topped with long-lasting head and good lace. Mouth is a bit too fuzzy and a bit creamy. Standard IPA flavor profile but a bit low on the malt and fruity notes predominate. Clean finish.

Big pine and citrus in the nose. Medium amber body that is not quite clear, topped by a nice frothy head with good retention and and decent of lace. Mouth is clean,soft, slippery,medium bodied with nice carbonation. There is an exception perceived bitterness here at 73 IBU. A surprisingly solid malt backbone on this one that hints at toasted grains. Finish is wet and clean. This an excellently balanced. Alcohol slightly present. Grapefruit and orange on the font end, lovely spot on IPA. Might well be the standard against which all other Left Coast IPA's should be judged.

Tough one to grade..... I'm going to use overall as "value" for awarding of points. It is an IPA, is has an IPA nose but very mild and VERY short-lived, some violet in the nose. Pale copper body topped with a decent white head and OK lace. Mouth is a bit too fuzzy and a touch thin. Mild IPA flavor with minimal malt backbone and floral hop notes, ends a bit bitter and a bit sweet. Its very sessionable. At the price its a huge value, way better than drinking US or Euro macro-swill.

Nose is Belgium, some sour,some funk, like a mild Saison, but with hints of citrus (its all about the yeast.) Pours a foggy deep gold body with a long lasting tight white head with excellent lace. Mouth is medium bodied,nothing special. Flavor is NOT good, but its an interesting attempt. The taste is OK until the end when it goes terribly wrong; nasty medicinal off-putting flavors at the end are metallic...like a Saison gone wrong. They seem to indicate that they took the Stone IPA recipe and just changed the yeast, not a good idea. They got the head right but thats about it.

No nose, zero! Light copper body topped with decent head and good lace. Decent IPA mouth is medium bodied and not too slick. Flavor is not at all complex, moderately bitter, no strong characteristics.

This beer has a major nose hops all over it. Floral, violets , strong pine, and citrus. pours a pale amber with a very nice off white frothy head leaving good lace. mouth is medium some slickness carbonation spot on. Flavor is pretty well balanced slightly sweet and floral hops predominate with some citrus coming through on the back end not as big a bitter bomb as you might expect. Finishes surprisingly neutral and quite clean somehow feels just a bit empty.

Saaz nose grassy biscut and some nice sour funk. Not a strong nose though. Classic gold body with moderate short-lived head and poor lace. Mouth is a bit on the fuzzy side but avoids being watery. Flavor profile is clean a bit sour with a sweet note in the center, some nice grain and a dry finish. Nice job on the flavor. RERATE 9/2/15 decent lace, very pretty beer, well done but on the mild side.

Mild nose, citrus hop notes, pepper, and bread. Surprisingly light in color, a medium gold with a hint of orange, very nice frothy head. Very nice effervescence continues long after the pour. Nice frothy lace. Mouth is light and slick, almost watery, highly carbonated. Very unusual flavor profile. Lots of orange citrus upfront, a slight oily tartness towards the end, fair amount of bread in the middle. Alcohol is present and warming. Overall interesting and a bit thin.

Maybe I'm stuffy but no nose at all. Good looking pils, light yellow body but minimal head and lace. Mouth is a bit thin and undercarbonated. No nasty flavor BUT almost no flavor at all. Hint of apricot, no grass, no dour, finishes like a slightly sweet glass of water.

Grass and apple in the nose. A good looking blonde! Slightly hazed pale gold body with a skim coat off white head and tiny lace. Medium to light mouth that is not watery. Easy drinking flavor clean with some nice grass and a hint of barnyard sour. Shows that simpliciy can be beautiful.
