Pours with a slightly washed out, pale gold color with some haziness but not chill haze. A large, pitted, two finger head that looks good, but fades quickly. However, some nice, sticky lace in a west coast hop-based manner. The nose offers a big...
Additional notes 05/27/17 My kind of beer. 8.7%, 22 oz serving, 34 IBUs and an OG of 1.084. Golden orange pour with a wispy, medium density white head. Big 'ole yeasty, malty nose, even at a low temperature. Carbonation is lively, and enough to get...
12 oz stubbie bottle. Good, golden clarity on the pour with an impressive amount of head and some nice sticky lace (just like that you would expect from a West Coast IPA - read on!). Nose and tastes are ALL light grapefruit with a fairly seriously...
22 oz bottle from Smyrna Beverage Center, Smyrna, GA, USA. $4.69. Pour is a beautiful, tangerine orange body with tremendous clarity, good carbonation and a light and wispy head that offers some great lace. The nose offers a LOT of west coast,...
22 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. (Potentially) excellent value for money as usual from Lagunitas. The usual presentation. Pour is a very nice red-brown with nice clarity in the body. Off-white head that produces some sticky lace;...
22 oz bomber from Green's, Atlanta, GA, USA. What I like about Lagunitas is their simple adherence to style and the great value that one usual gets, especially in the bomber size. Pour is a bright, golden, clear body with a high, bubbly head. The...
With a few exceptions you can pretty much rely on Lagunitas to put together a solid, good value beer and this is NOT one of those exceptions. 22 oz bomber all but a drop goes into the Youngs, imperial pint glass. Color is pretty striking and...
22oz bomber from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. VERY strange. I did not do any research on this before I opened it so I didn't not know what Lagunitas had put together for the latest Zappa release. The pour was essentially dark brown with...
Picture form 04/23. Original notes 11/14/08 12 oz single. I've been drinking this for a few years now, time for a review. Classic, light chill-hazed orange body with a small head but better lace than the head would suggest. Nose and tastes have...
Purchased from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. 22oz bomber. 4th in the Zappa series from Lagunitas. Poured into the Ommegang chalice the beer has a classic dark orange/golden Tripel hue, and initially a good head. This fades quickly though and...
On-tap, Taco Mac, Marietta, GA, USA. $4+ for the 16oz pour. Nothing special to look at - in fact it has the appearance of a macro lager. In that respect it does not reflect the style very well. I'm looking for a big, fluffy head in my saisons, some...
22 oz bomber cracked by Dave at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Subsequently in many samples after that. The usual Frank Zappa crazy label. Pour reveals a deep, mahogany, rich brown body with some red highlights. Head is good, plenty of thickish...
Quite why I had never bothered to pick this up in Atlanta is totally beyond me, but I suspect that the lack of 22oz bombers (only sixers) of it had something to do with it. Finally got around to trying in on tap at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA,...
Draught, The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Wow. Even by West Coast standards this seemed like a BIG hoppy beast. Pour is a typical cloudy orange with a nice head and some good, sticky lace. After that...well, very little to report except in your...
$2.99, 22 oz bomber from Green's on Ponce. Surprisingly light colored pour. Not a problem, but the beer looks as though it lacks a bit of body. A lot of carbonation, wispy head and not much retention. Light hops in the nose, not huge. Floral in...
This has been in GA for a little while now, but I didn't get around to picking any up - to be honest the thought of another, bland and uninteresting Cream Ale hardly set my pulse racing. Anyway, I was discussing the likelihood that ths beer was not...
Six Pack from Tobacco & Rum Package in Vinings, Atlanta, GA, USA. 12oz stubbie, love the simplicity and color of the label. Looks classy. Superb example of the style. Looks great with a beautiful color, great carbonation a fantastic head with...
It's big, it's bold and it's good. An Arrogant Bastard clone, this is a super beer. 22oz bomber, Bullock's, Marietta, GA, USA. Pour is a good looking copper colored pour with a nice head. Lace is a little scant. It's BIG hops all around including...
22oz bomber from Smyrna World Of Beverage, Atlanta, GA, USA. SWoB nips in ahead of Green's on this one. This is indeed a BIG red, no doubt. Good clarity with the orangey/amber pour with some good head and some very nice, sticky lacing. Looks...
22oz bomber, Green's, Atlanta, GA, USA. Thinnish looking pour, but nice lacing. A little spotty head left. Body is a ruddy, red brown. Not much coffee in either the aroma or the taste, but there is some coffee-like residual bitterness in the...
Lagunitas just made it to GA a few weeks ago, but this was NOT one that made it from California just yet. Received as part of Blue Max BIF (48) from BigLove. 22 oz bomber. In terms of the style this is not a typical Saison and it is appropriate...
22 oz Bomber with the distinctive Lagunitas label. Dark brown rather than black pour and plenty of red highlights. Small head with not much lacing. A lot of sweetness in the nose. OK, on to the crucial stuff. This beer is going to sit badly with...
Lagunitas arrived in GA for the first time this week, and although I've had a few of their offerings before, I was happy to snag this new one at Green's, Buford Highway, Atlanta, GA, USA for $2.99 for the 22oz bomber. Homage being paid to Frank...
Additional Notes 03/18/23 (pictured) I'm pretty sure that this Maximus Colossal is the same beer as Maximus, just updated with a different hop bill than the original, and being bumped up to 9% from the original 8.2. Golden orange body with lovely...
Subsequently (just arrived in GA Feb 2 2007) 12 oz bottle at Taco Mac, Marietta, GA, USA. $5.00. A litle more ethanol in the finish than I remember from the past. It drinks less smooth than Brown Shugga (for example) desite the BS being a higher...
Bottle first, then subsequently on draught at Taco Mac, Marietta, GA, USA - $5.00. Beautiful pour, clear as a bell with a deep orange/copper hue that is typical of a big-hopped IPA, except this isn't! Some lovely malt sweetness in the nose and...
Yep, this is one hell of a beer! The pour is a beautiful, full, solid amber affair with a lovely, dense, slightly off-white head. The head is formed by an exceptional array of bubbles that rise to the surface like small pieces of gold dust - it's a...
Golden brown pour with some cloudiness, very little head, no retention or any significant lacing. Yes, the sugar is very evident all around, through the sweet aroma, the clinging taste, the aftertaste and the slick mouthfeel. The high ABV is also...
