Oh, Lagunitas…how I adore thee? Comparing to a summer’s rose doesn’t do proper justice to these crafty Californians. Word of caution: get this on tap at someplace you trust. Like the trusty mutt on the label of most Lagu beers, your favorite bartender(ess) should be consulted about getting this brew on tap.
A million sloshing sounds of gentle bubbles collapsing and folding upon one another in an attempt to be first into your pint glass like squirming sperms converging on an ova.
No, you won’t end up preggers from the “New” Dogtown but you’ll get a refreshing blast of crispy flavor (KFC and Scope be damned!). There’s no explosion of hop flavor like so many other Lagu beers but maybe I’m just desensitized after absorbing so many IBUs onto my tongue and down my gullet.
This drink is best enjoyed in the company of friends and on the edge of the table to remind yourself how precious it is. Oh, oops, nope…no worries. Just a threat—keep that beer in check. Keep it Honest because you’re still the Boss of this swill.
