Aroma is a splash of citrus and pine, some tropical fruit, some pineapple, lemon...all AMerican hops, here? Or other varieties as well. It's a clean, but zesty, lively nose. Great stuff.
Taste: a blitz of bitterness, more of the same flavors return from the nose, then cool and mellow. Bigger hops, and bigger booze, but it doesn't dominate or bludgeon one. Sharp, sticky, big citric hop, PacNW feel, but not blistering of blinding or punishing in any way. Alcohol is barely felt as well.
How stoopid is it, with the hops? I've had hoppier, from Lagunitas, as well, I think. And what's with this Sonoma Farmhouse Ale thing...sure, I get that means that it's a West Coast hop bomb, we all get that....is there an inside joke here, that no one's telling me?
yep, it's 8% and it's hoppy, but I feel it's popularity is pushed over by Lagunitas boosterism.
