Lagunitas - Born Yesterday 2016

Love this stuff!!!!

Best Wet Hop beer I've had so far this year.

Looks great, smells great, drinks great.

I'd make an effort to get your hands on some

 

Yeah in the Chicago burbs these have been disappearing fast. I was able to get two-sixers at Whole Foods today though. So if you're whiffing on your usual stops try a WF

 

I grabbed a six on the way home, how is it I've never heard of this beer ? Got one icing, not quite ready yet. Chest high stack at Bestway, a bit pricy, out the door $13 +. Didn't see any at TW.

 

Sounds like you're going to find out for yourself pretty soon!!

Let's us know what you think.......

 

Just had my first of the year and my super PAC, FreshHops for America, is willing to spend millions to get it elected. Good stuff.

 

4 days old. I could tell it was a bit turbid in the bottle when I bought it. I can't see thru the glass, the smell is absolutely wonderful. Obviously it tastes great, fruity with out being sweet, nicely bitter. As good a nose as Abrasive and that's not easy to do IMO. I'll need another 6 for football Sunday.

 

last year I got it the same day as the"borned" date

 

2015 was way more alcohol forward and maltier. Kind of like Bell's Oracle. I remember 2014 being crazy Crush-able and I was going to my regular spot Fischmans everyday after work till the keg kicked. Typically I always try to change it up but I just couldn't stop drinking 2014 Born.2016 is crash able and has a almost NE IPA flavor to it except with a bit more rind in the back end. SO glade Chicago got it hard with this one.

 

My local store just got this on tap today, and it's pretty great. Last year I remember liking it on tap, but the bottles were unpleasantly astringent. This year is a great combo of slightly spicy, resinous hop oil and citrusy fruit. It's not yogurt-smoothie opaque, but is definitely a nice hazy orange. Great stuff!

 

IMO it's as hazy as hazy can be, I could see it in the bottle when I bought it. If this isn't "turbid" I don't know what is. I can't see my hand thru the glass , it's as dense as any stout despite the golden color.

 

had them side by side the other night and lagunitas won even with my local bias

 

Just hit Athens, GA today. Just absolutely fantastic and the best of the Born Yesterdays so far. Don't get me wrong; every offering of this beer has always been top notch. This one takes the cake; unfiltered!

 

Dude I'm in Flo Rida I waitin'

 

Tried it on draught and bottle. I really don't understand why they don't taste the same, considering they were "born" on the same day presumably.

Draught version had much more aromas and flavors going on, but the bottle one ain't bad.

 

It was $8.99 the first year. "priced to move," they said.

 

I guess it is just a matter of definitions. When I think of turbid, I think of beers like this where you could shine a flashlight through them and not see the light:



But I don't really know how other people define "hazy" or "turbid". I do know that "NE IPA" was the first thing I thought when I poured my first 2016 Born Yesterday.

 

Anyone in New England see this yet?

 

Bought some at Bestway yesterday too! This stuff is amazing!

 

Just picked it up, can't wait to try it!!

 

How bitter is this? Might grab a bottle to try it
