Lagunitas Stereohopic Vol. 2: Elixir & Loral

Lagunitas Stereohopic Vol. 2: Elixir & Loral.

7:2 % ABV, 65 IBU, Lagunitas Brewing, Petaluma, CA & Chicago, IL.

Brilliant clarity, bright golden hue, lasting layer of ivory foam. 

In the nose: stone fruit and citrus, with a touch of the tropical. A dash of dank. Slight sweetness. 

In the mouth: A bit juicy at first, hops splash upon the palate, and it all end in a dry note, urging on another sip. Fruit fandango in the mouth, orange and apricot mingle with pineapple and peach. Good display of bitterness, rounded off by a bit of sweet, ending, again, on the dry side. Light bodied, expertly drinkable, exceptionally rewarding. 

I like a good IPA, as everyone knows, and this is assuredly one of them. 

This second volume shows what happens when the elusive Alsatian Elixir hop and the resin-y spicy notes mingle with Yakima's noble & floral Loral hop
