Lagunitas Censored
7/31, at the Ship in Multnomah Village with Chris. I lost these reviews for a while, but here they are.
So I have a Lagunitas Censored from the tap. They describe it as a "rich copper ale", which seems pretty accurate.
This beer is quite robust, amber in color, and rather winey in the finish, which is not surprising because it has an ABV of 7.5%. There is a lot going on in this beer, as it is very complex. Overall it is well balanced, however it is also fairly directionless. The flavor is rather sweet overall, with good body, but the finish is a little cloying. There is not much to the start, and not much to the nose but sweetness. It might benefit from a bit more hops.
Chris says it smells like "strawberry fruit roll-ups that I had in my lunch in 2nd grade." Yes it really is that sweet.
Repeat drinkability is not that good, it is just too heavy and the cloying finish adds up pretty quick. Fine for one pint, though.
WDTB? Northern Californians.
WSDTB? People who enjoy hearty beer without a ton of hops.
Rating: 7.2/10
