Lagunitas Born Yesterday Pale Ale

Had it on-tap tonight, very tasty indeed!

Cheers!

 

By far best pale ale that's easily available

 

Doesn't look like this made it to Oklahoma.

 

I was kind of worried about this myself because some of their beers burn me out quickly. I grabbed a single vs. a sixer and I am glad I did, enjoyed the beer for sure but not something I would want a whole lot of.

 

Anyone in the Louisville, KY area have any luck finding any?

 

This ones kind of taking a turn for me. Not sure for the less better or worse.

I'm picking up a ton of citrus rind type arbrasive bitterness. It's still bone dry. The hop haze is so widely apparent now. So Ugly. It needs to just be that orange juice color already, like so many other IPA/PAs.

Now it's mostly this lemony citrus grass flavor that sort of reminds me of SNs Hop Hunter. It's there. It's semi abrasive.

Now my sixer was only $9 and I've been through my fair share. This was a good one while it lasted. But I think I'm done with it.. After the fact, it's hard to rate or review this one, as it was meant to be consumed asap

 

I randomly picked this up on 10/28 at the grocery store, not knowing anything about it. I almost didn't believe the borned on date, since it was slightly smudged and I thought there was no way it they could have gotten a beer onto shelves in Brooklyn in two days.

That first sniff and taste was one of the best beer experiences I've ever had. I got another 6pack last night and while it's still very good, it's definitely lost its edge. I feel bad because the grocery store (Brooklyn Fare) still has several cases of it for $15/6pack. There's no way it's going to still be good by the time that stuff goes on clearance. I might pick up some more for the weekend so not all of it goes to waste.

Compared to Sensei Harvest, which I also tried fresh, Born Yesterday is in a completely different galaxy in terms of showcasing what fresh hops can do. The main thing I got from SH was a slightly vegetative taste added to a normal hoppy beer.

 

Or Virginia. I have looked in several of my usual stops.

 

Where in Virginia are you? I'm in Alexandria, and my local Harris Teeter still has the better part of a pallet on the floor at $10.99 a sixer.

 

Now that I've had both this and the Founder's Harvest, I like this one a lot better. However... take into consideration I had the Founder's this week, and it was bottled in late September. Really wish I'd found it fresher.

 

I am in Richmond. I beer and wine shop at Total Wine, Wholefoods, and Trader Joes (and fill growlers in many places). I have not seen it in any of of these stores. Unfortunately, we do not have a Harris Teeter. If I get anywhere near Alexandria I will definitely stop at Harris Teeter.

Thanks.

 

Where? Denver? I'm in the Springs, have yet to see it... *sigh*

 

That was last week in GJ, The Ale House had it.

Cheers!

 

I called my guy at the local unnamed liqour store to find out what beers they recently got in and he mentioned Born Yesterday. I can't say I've had a "bad" beer from Lagunitas si I stopped and picked one up. He said it was delicious and he had it right. Very much worth the 12.99 for the sixer! Gotta love fresh hops

 

Picked this one up in MA at Redstone last week, might still be some kicking around there. Awesome stuff, loving all of their One-Hitter series

 

Definitely joins the ranks of the most overrated beers for me. Very disappointed.

 

It's Born Yesterday, not Born a Fortnight Ago

 

Taste is subjective but IMO this beer very much lives up to the hype especially considering the price point. It is 10.99-11.99 a six pack and seems to be favored by many over other wet hopped beers that go for upwards of 14.99 a 4-pack or more.

 

Ya got to give it credit for 16 days later...I have fresh Workhorse, Topcutter, and Descender here alongside side the B.Y., its still very fresh. I have a bomber of The Brother here also, Id love to taste that 2 days fresh !

 

Did you store it on the shelf of your local store ? (sarcasm) Im not getting bone dry...it needs to be the
"color" is to still hold up this well 16 days after I purchased it.
