Lagunitas Born Yesterday Pale Ale

pretty much nails my opinion of it.

 

Sure?

 

This should be a year round, like High Westified and Brown Shugga. And fresh Sucks.

 

With that said, last year it was a different beer altogether. It was far juicier, and more citrusy. This is lighter in body, more dank, with a nice slight sweetness. It's super tasty, but it seems like another beer. It reminds me a bit of Mosaic Session IPA, but a stronger malt base and a bit more dankness.

 

How do you produce a year round beer brewed with wet hops?

Cheers!

 

Uhm... I don't know. Doesn't Great Divide do a year round fresh hop ale? Granted, it's not great, but...

 

That just sits on the shelves year round.

 

Poor shelves.

 

got a case of this today, as the guy at my local shop said it is incredible. came on here to read some reviews. buddy said it is better than zombie dust...fortunately, as i am checking out, he takes a bottle out of the fridge and gave me a few ounces...i'll be going back next week to get yet another case as i can see myself pounding quite a few of these on saturdays wathing football! so nice to have a beer that is relatively easy to get, that has the taste of this beer. cant wait for mine to get cold and i can enjoy a few!

 

this is very good, definitely worth going out of your way for, but people need to calm down with this "better than founder's harvest" nonsense.

 

I was really surprised how good it was. Best macro brew ever?

 

Nonsense. I have both beers in my fridge and I prefer Lag by quite a bit.

 

The resembalence to Hop Stupid is overpowering

 

Loved it. Might be the best fresh hop Pale I've ever had. Seems to be enough around still for folks to try too.

 

Stoopid's hop extract gives me an entirely different and less enjoyable experience...more oily and less tasty than Born Yesterday. To each his own!

 

What? Hop Stoopid is far more bitter, less tropical, lacking the same lush sweet backbone, and it's far boozier... they are not particularly similar.

 

To me the signature hop profile and basic malt profile scream Lagunitas. Just like Hop stupid. This is not a bad thing!

 

It's certainly better than any of the ZD they've put out for well over a year at this point. Then again, it's not like FFF has to try when it comes to ZD. People are gonna swear it's amazing either way.

 

So good I picked up another sixer. Yesterday @ Whole Foods Redwood City. They still had a few sixers left but looked to be running out.

This beer just outdoes so many other beers its silly. Super high drinkability, perfect ABV as you can drink two in a setting and not feel a damn thing the next day, and extremely flavorful w/lively feel. Hell yeah!

 

Yea I had another last night... It dropped off quick.
