This ale pours a crisp clear honey, with great head retention. It has the classical Lagunitas hop aroma. Every Lagunitas ale I have had is a very solid brew and this ale is no exception. The Westmalle yeast strain ads a given complexity. Overall - while I am a huge fan of Lagunitas - this is ale is nothing special. It's excellent but it's not that much different than the regular old hoppy Little Sumpin. I love IPAs so even though I was expecting a bit more wild ale characteristics I enjoyed the grapefruit, mild bitter finish, and the mellow sour fruit spiciness of this brew.
