Lagunitas CitruSinensis 2016

Hitting shelves in MA this week. Not much to go around here, so Bay State residents should be vigilant.

 

This is a new batch. Hitting MA this week. Not much to go around, so grab it while you can.

 

Just hit Chicago store.

 

At around 8% abv, this seems better suited for a winter than a summer release to me.

 

This beer is clear as a bell!! Love this stuff, just picked up a case of it today.

 

This was really good...

 

Can't wait for this one. Loved it last summer!

 

I picked up a six last night. I have to agree with the observations about filtering. Perhaps it's partially a visual thing, but this year's filtered version doesn't seem to pop as much. It's still delicious and I'm happy I picked up a six pack, but this one will be the last at $12.99 per.

 

I must have gotten a bad batch because I LOVED it last year and the six-pack I picked up yesterday is drain pour worthy. It tastes like pure citrus sweetener. Completely different from last year.

 

I missed it last time. Lessen learned. I will seek it out.

 

This. It seems the filtering has altered the juiciness from last years version. Won't get this one again.

 

sadly agree about the taste. last batch had a nice little punch. ill probably still crush a few sixers of this batch but nothing compared to the amount i bought of the last batch.

 

My local shop only had 3 cases, and it's a back room distro. Good thing I know the beer buyer. Better last year though. Quite s few orange beers out now, this was the first. One hitters have all been good.

 

My local Jewel has loads of it, and typically the Lagunitas special release stuff sits forever.

 

I am going to have to agree. I just poured a glass and I am struggling to even get halfway through it. Disappointing. Even the smell is off putting!

 

Available in Nor Cal. Taste seems same as last year - smell is it's best part IMO.

 

This year's rendition is drinkable but nowhere close to the juicy, citrus goodness of last year's batch.

 

Cloudy with suspended taste enhancers.

 

That's unfortunate. This was one of my favorite beers from 2015.
