Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

UPDATED: APR 11, 2010 bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours mostly clear light copper with a medium sized fizzy head. It has a pleasant aroma of citrus and flower accented hops. The flavor is of good, fresh, strong, hops with citrus notes. A good malt backbone supports all that hops and the finish is the expected lingering bitterness. Well done.
Wife picked this up in Wis. Good pine and citrus aroma. Copper body with off white head and good laceing left on pint glass. Some dry cirus vine resin in flavor along with some sugary citrus flavor. Cool and crisp on the palate little dry lingers afterward but good refreshment.
Beautiful balance, creamy body, nice malt backbone, inviting citric/piny esters, long finish, soft carbonation, perfectly married flavors...this is Lagunitass best effort...Ive definitely found my new favorite spring/summer ale!
