Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Extra! Ale. Petaluma, CA, and also Chicago, IL. 8.7% ABV. 72 IBU.
Clear, golden-toned, lasting ivory head above.
In the nose: citrus-y hop character.....yup, that's it.
In the mouth: Nice, juicy hop flavors slide on the palate. Smooth malt character. Easy drinker. Further in, hops are getting more prominent, juicier, alcohol's getting kickier, shall we say.
It's alright.
The big sister of the Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale...Lots of wheat for a curious malt complexity and leaving it light in color, but huge in flavor and satisfaction.
I forgot, there's more, on the label, and you've always got to read the gobbledygook on a Lagunitas label: "These words are the voice of the beer you are about to drink. they are an attempt to be understood. The beer beneath is more than just words. It is a promise. You are the promise. Revel in your times."
Wow. Like, heavy, man.
