Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Lagunitas Brewing Company
Imperial Red Ale.
From the Lagunitas Brewing Company website:” Big on the
spicy, skunky hops, bigger on the rich red malt. A variation of our original
1993 "Lagunitas Red". Still in the handy 6-pack carriers for your
enjoyment.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a dark red amber with a thin white head
and great sticky lacing.
Aroma: Sweet and hoppy…citrus and pine hops and sweet malts,
brown sugar and molasses. Incredible
nose!
Taste: Fantastic combination of citrus and pine hops and
sweet caramel malt. Hops are in the
forefront on this one, but balanced well with a sweet malty back. My favorite
Imperial Red.
Overall: Flavorful, drinkable and thoroughly enjoyable, Lagunitas
Brewing Company’s Imperial Red Ale weighs in at 7.8% ABV and is available
around January. Keep an eye out for it
as it is very much worth grabbing a six pack (or a case if you’re me).
Cheers!

The fact that you're drinking this out of a mason jar just made you my new favorite beer blogger
