Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'


















































Lagunitas Brewing Company
Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'
Petaluma, California
6/27/2009, on tap at Frisco Grille, 7.7 abv

Smell

Fruity and hoppy at the same time.
Appearance

Clear golden orange with a modest head.

Taste

According to the brewer's website, this is an American Pale Wheat Ale. I didn't get any wheat, but I did get some puckering fruit, perhaps apricots and grapefruit followed by a nice hoppy zing. Very nice!

Comments

This beer produced some interesting burps, which of course, I enjoyed immensely.

  1. I'm with you on this one. It's great, but ran more toward the IPA side of things what with the hoppiness, etc. Nice post, great blog. Mind if I add it to the list on my beer blog??

    Thanks for the nice comments. Please add my blog to your list. It's always nice to see someone other than family members reading my blog.

  3. I managed to score another single bottle of this nectar at the local Sunflower Market this evening. Strange, I've not seen an actual six-pack of this anywhere I've looked in the Phoenix area and the only place I've seen it is at Sunflower in the "damaged goods" manager's special bin. I'll keep grabbing the singles as long as they're floating around! Is it still available in your neighborhood?

  4. I haven't seen it at my local beer emporium and they have a huge selection, including many other Lagunitas beers. And needless to say, the keg at my favorite pub did not last very long. I too will grab it when I see it.
