This interestingly named ale is from the Lagunitas Brewing Company outside of San Francisco California. It pours out a clear amber and has a strong hop bitter nose with a sweet raisin scent. Boy the flavor is stronger than the scent. There's big hops, very strong in the middle, and again on the back end. Also we have raisin and caramels, and some herbal flavors. This is really strong on the hop, but there is other strong flavors as well as alcohol, 9.8% ABV. So there is some balance here. This is a nice beer. I like it despite it's massive hop, and I will get this again. Boy, five minutes after I finished this stuff and my mouth is still awash in hops. Give one a try. Just one.
