This is an Imperial IPA from the Lagunitas Brewing Company of California. It pours amber in color with an off-white head. This is one of the best smelling beers I’ve encountered in a while; a great bouquet of citrus hops, grapefruit, caramel, fruit, and floral undertones await. The taste starts out with sweet malt and citrus fruit (grapefruit and tangerine hints) but is quickly followed up by a dry, bitter hop infusion that lingers with you. This is a great beer. I was glad to find it this time after it selling out on the first day during the previous shipment. The alcohol content is 8% and warming.
