Lagunitas The Waldos' Special Ale Triple IPA. Special One-hitter Release.
Alc. by Vol. 11.7 %. 100 IBU. The Lagunitas Brewing Company, Petaluma, CA, & Chicago, IL.
This is a beer that I should have reviewed on 4/20, right? I didn't pick up a 4-pack until May. It was my first time trying it out, and I saved the final bottle forever review until post 6/20. Let's check it out, already.
Clear, bright amber hue, large, lush, cream-toned head. Looking good.
In the nose: Bold citrus and stone fruit notes. Big, dank, and stanky. Ripe fruit and sticky candy. Rather inviting.
In the mouth: Rich, thick and sloppy from the start. Ridiculously dank and resinous. Gumdrops and candied apricots. Slick and sweet, while blazingly bitter. Full bodied, full flavored, insanely hoppy. Just a little bit hot if it wasn't so wet. Nice little hoppy barleywine, this. Delicious, mind-altering, a real trip.
In 1971, the Waldos met one afternoon at 4:20 in the front courtyard of their school near the statue of Louis Pasteur. They set out in a ’66 Impala armed with a “treasure map” on a journey to find a secret garden near Point Reyes. They met there at the same time every day and continued their quest. They never found the secret garden….But they keep lookin’.
