Lagunitas Lucky 13 (bottle)
Petaluma, CA
8.3% ABV
Appearance: Red-orange body, transparent, with a thin off-white head that dissipates to soapscum rather quickly. Very slight effervescence. 4.0/5
Smell: Rich fruity amber aroma, crisp white hops. Very floral, very inviting. 4.5/5
Taste: Rich amber flavor, thick with apples and syrupy goodness, with a hoppy backbone and a very dry finish. The alcohol is present in the aftertaste, along with a strong floral hoppiness. Very very nice. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel: Thick, heavy with hops and with high carbonation. 4.5/5
Drinkability: The beer I'd describe as the closest to this is Arrogant Bastard, which has got to be one of my all-time favorite beers. This is higher in alcohol and may be even smoother than the Bastard, although it's not quite as well-balanced. Highly recommended. 4.5/5
Overall: 4.4/5
