The IPA, or India pale ale, is a fairly robust beer to begin with when compared to other types of beers, excepting stouts or porters. Of all the kinds of beers, this is my least favorite due to my aversion to hops. It also happens to be my husband's favorite, as well as that of several of our friends.
The Lagunitas IPA is a solid example of its type, perhaps leaning toward light. Brewed in California by the Lagunitas Brewing Company, it is less strong than its fellow Lagunitas brew, the Maximus, but is nonetheless delightfully hoppy and bitter. If you like IPA's, you'll like this beer. If you like more robust IPA's, give this one a pass and head straight for the Maximus.
Given its relative weakness when compared to other IPA's, this is the kind of beer you'd want to start the night with, because after anything else it will probably taste too watery. Drink this, then work your way up to the Maximus, or something else like the Dogfish Head 60 Minute or 90 Minute.
Just the facts, ma'am: Lagunitas IPA, Lagunitas Brewing Company, California, IPA, 5.70% alcohol by volume.
