It pours in a lighter gold color. The aroma is a lot like of West Coast IPAs. Fruitiness and big hops.

The flavor has a decent amount of grapefruit and citrus fruits. It isn’t too strong and doesn’t last for too long. It cuts a bit too quick for me and doesn’t have that big juiciness that I love from some IPAs from the region.

One of the better “standard” easy to find IPAs out there, but does not stand out for me.

Serving type: on-tap

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

A- Pours a light copper color with an off white two finger lacing head.
S- Immediate citrus notes with a malty biscuit undertone. Not too much complexity in hop smell.
T- A nice burst of citrus and hop bite that finishes a little too fast. Not enough malty undertones to accompany the hops and abv
M- Great mouth feel. Nice micro bubbles and velvety texture.

O- A good IPA. I would consider this more of a session IPA than a true "heavy hitter." There needs to be a better malty backbone when the hops dissipate.

Lagunitas IPA is in my opinion one of the most balanced ipas out there. Really tasty.
It has a nice appearance, smell, and taste. Very drinkable and at an affordable price, you can't beat it! This was my first beer from lagunitas and certainly not the last one.
