Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball

A beer called Hairy Eyeball would have to be brown, wouldn’t it?

With a big head, this brew from Lagunitas is a deep brown with copper edges. The nose is very malty with dark fruit and some hot alcohol.

Big and malty like a Trappist quad, there are a ton of complex flavors going on here. Sweet malt, dark fruit, butterscotch, and a dry finish that presents some hop character.

Very smooth and creamy, this is an outstanding beer, and the best I’ve had from Lagunitas.

Grade: A
