Lagunitas Hop Stoopid DIPA
Style; glass: DIPA; Tulip
22 fl oz x 8% ABV = 176 / 60 = 2.93 beers * 150 C = 439.5 calories (est.)
Purchased at: Super Saver Pennington, NJ for $4.49
Aroma: hay, orange peel, pineapple, pine trees, salt.
Visuals: intriguing packaging, looks like top shelf whiskey, deep amber, brilliantly clear, off white head, intricate thin lace.
Taste: well balanced, light sweetness throughout, citrus rind tones continuously present, strength balanced with sensibility.
Palate: dry, towel, long bitter finish with sweetness lying underneath.
Overall: A very well balanced DIPA. A definite repeat. A sure favorite. At $5 a bomber, an amazing value.

Hey John. I see you have a new look over here. Has to be fairly recent as I come regularly. First, I want to let you know about another awesome hoppy beer, The Maharaja Imperial India Pale Ale, not sure if you’ve tried it. http://www.dailybeerreview.com/2009/06/maharaja-imperial-india-pale-ale.html
Second, I sent someone your way a few days ago, as he was interested in the caloric content of beer, while I just prefer to drink and not count them.
Talk to you soon.

Comment by prfx 06/16/2009 @ 3:35 PMFor me, most Lagunitas disappoint (esp their IPA) but this offering always satisfies and delights me.
I am doing a short run of reviews so let me know if you have any recommenations. I really wanted to try hop wallop based on your review but have not been able to find it. Anything else I should look out for?
Anyways, hope you are well. Stay cool this summer.
