This brew poured a light brown, with a small vanishing head. Smooth malts and citrusy hops dominated the aromas- not too strong but definately there. Mouthfeel was light and very well carbonated. The hops had no real flavor here, maybe due to the lack of malts in the equation- they were simply just bitterness in liquid form. This brew seemed like it had been watered down, like a macro with some added hops- i was dissapointed. i had been looking for a lower ABV session IPA, and this one seemed to fit the bill- but no go.

Just a classic IPA. My go to IPA. It has the classic hoppy bitter flavor I crave. Leaves that great bitter hoppy taste in your mouth. Just a quintessential west coast IPA. Not too strong. Well balanced. A very drinkable IPA that still gives you the hoppy bitter flavor your crave.

Another fantastic Cali IPA! As soon as you pop open this beer, it's like giving your sense of smell the drug it's been craving! Sexy, light copper in color and leaves nice lacing. This tastes so good, an almost perfect summer IPA! The feel is well balanced. Great bang for your buck, in CO at least! Love, love Lagunitas!

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.
