8.20% ABV

Enjoyed from a snifter

A: Pours a bright amber-orange with a finger of off-white head that lingers, leaving nice webbed lacing.

S: Strong ruby-red grapefruit presence with piney notes. Lemon rind, mango, apricot, and tropical notes. A bready, caramel backbone compliments the very citrus forward notes.

T: Sweet, resinous, caramel notes go hand in hand with powerful citrus flavors. Grapefruit, mango, orange rind; a great mix of bitter and sweet.

M: Medium bodied, creamy and oily.

O: I’ve yet to be disappointed with Lagunitas; definitely my summer jam thus far.
