Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Extra! Ale. American Double IPA. Petaluma, CA. 8.5% ABV.
Served chilled from a 12 oz bottle and poured into a snifter (I've had it in a pint glass too-same great result!) Pours a murky golden/straw color with a slight orange hue and a one finger white foam head. Smells are of orange, pine, hops and some grapefruit. Carbonation is moderate to high with a medium body. This beer tastes amazing. Orange juice and citrus lead with a bitter, hoppy rush to finish. Other flavors such as pineapple and mango may be there as well, and the piney/oniony flavor persists. Wow!
This DIPA stands right next to some of the other giants in the category, and comes in at an incredibly reasonable $2/bottle. After I bought this for the first time several weeks ago, I immediately went out and bought a six pack. I've now noticed that everywhere else is out of the beer, and will do my best to hold onto the remaining 2! Lagunitas did it again here. Bravo!
