Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale

Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale (bottle)
Petaluma, CA
9.7% ABV

The story of this beer is here:



What else could I do except buy it and review it? Pours orange/red, very hazy, thick white foamy head. Smells sweet, amber, with a strong West-Coast hop nose. Flavor is very hoppy, very dry on the finish, with a sweet and somewhat yeasty body. The alcohol is present but far from overpowering.

This is a beer that I like a lot, but just don't have a lot to say about. A nice bitter California-style ale. Average for Lagunitas, very good by the standards of brewers in general.

My overall BA rating: 4.1/5
