Lagunitas Unrefined Shugga Strong Ale brewed with Whole Cane Sugar

 Lagunitas Unrefined Shugga Strong Ale brewed with Whole Cane Sugar.

10% ABV. Lagunitas Brewing, Petaluma, CA & Chicago, IL.


Clear, caramel brown color, large and lasting creamy white head.

In the nose: sweet and malty. Cocoa and cream, caramel and toffee. 

In the mouth: comes on with a richness, sweet, robust, big and malty. Some dark fruit notes pop up, a bit of vinous-ness. Caramel and toffee, with a trace of cocoa and coffee. Hops peek through a bit, but booze becomes the shining star. Full-bodied, but a long, malty finish. Excellent nightcap. Nightly-night. 

The Holidaze came early this year … Shugga’s back with a fancy upgrade! We’ve upped the ante on our fan-fav seasonal sweet release with the addition of Whole Cane Sugar. All the rich, winterly-warming flavors you know and love mingle for a delightfully unrefined experience. How sweet is that?
