It gives off a strong passion fruit, gooseberry and citrus scent, whilst the flavour is fresh and hoppy with the aftertaste leaving a soft taste of melted cream cheese. This hoppy beer also scores a massive 31 IBU on the international bitterness chart., which is unheard of for a beer with this kind of calorie count.

The beer is then beefed up by using oats in the brewing process.

A Brewery With a Social Conscience

Lagunitas Brewing Company has a social conscience, and aims to turn beer into money for the community. For example, when a firestorm disaster hit Sonoma County in 2017 near the original home place of the brewery, Lagunitas contributed $220,000 in cash donations. Along with cash, they also offered refrigerated trucks to Redwood Empire Food Bank to bring food to the areas needed, sent staff to volunteer at nonprofits and various areas of need throughout the community, and sent kegs of water to a local safari park for the animals.
