Lagunitas IPA

Lagunitas Brewing Company

Lagunitas has become one of my favorite breweries over the past couple of years. I have been impressed with all of their beers that I have had the opportunity to consume.

The first beer from Lagunitas that I will review is their basic IPA.




IPA (6.9% ABV)



Appearance:

Pours super clear with a nice caramel color. Nice 1cm head on first pour. Very light lacing.  Small bubbles. Agitation will reform head of 3mm

 

Smell:

Flowery, hints of melon and honeysuckle. Resin

 

Taste: 

Bright and bitter up front. Slightly sour with a smooth finish. Bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel:

Medium bodied and astringent.

Overall:

This beer is a clean easily drinkable IPA.  I would easily recommend this beer as a nice thirst quencher on a hot summer day.
