Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale
Hefeweizen - 7.5% ABV
Pete
     This is a real winner. It has a lot of flavor, and it is very strong. Not much else to say.

Lagunitas Lucky 13 (Mondo Large Red Ale)
Red Ale - 8.8% ABV
Pete
     I'm not typically a fan of reds, but this one works. The combination of the sweetness and the bitterness of the hops works pretty well together, along with the hint of booze that you definitely notice.

Lagunitas Maximus
Imperial IPA - 8.2% ABV
Pete
     Just like the regular version, this is an outstanding IPA. The hops are more obvious in the smell than the taste, and it is very smooth. It also reminds me of this every time I drink it. Can't ask for much else.

Lagunitas New Dogtown Pale Ale
Pale Ale - 6.2% ABV

     This one disappears quickly. It is nice and smooth, with a nice hoppy aftertaste.

Lagunitas Nighttime
IPA - 7.9% ABV
Pete
     This is a very solid IPA from Lagunitas (shocker). I wouldn't quite call it a black IPA, but there is certainly enough of a dark beer taste to it to set it apart.

Laginutas Pils
Pilsner - 6% ABV
Pete
     My biggest problem with American beers of this style is generally that they try to do too much. That didn't happen here. Super crisp and easy to drink. There isn't a ton of flavor, but that's not why I ordered this style of beer. I could drink a lot of these fast. The bar I had these at was giving away a Lagunitas mason jar for each pint you got. I was there for 35 minutes and got 4.

Lagunitas Scare City 2 Rye Cocoa Porter
Porter - 10.19% ABV
Pete
     This one doesn't actually have a label, on-tap only. I had it at a beer festival, where I had at least 50 different beer tastings (it was an impressive performance), but this one was by far the best. It was chocolatey, with some nice hops in the background, but not too much. I have no idea how this was so strong, because it didn't taste it.

Lagunitas Stoopid Wit
Belgian Witbier - 6.3% ABV
Pete
     This isn't really a noticeable drink. It goes down super easy, but you don't really taste anything, so it's just kind of mindless drinking. That has its uses.

Lagunitas Super Cluster
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Citrus bomb. Delicious beer, and pretty cheap given its style. Not as bitter as their standard IPA, so might appeal to a wider audience.

Lagunitas The Waldos' Special (Waldo's 420)
Imperial IPA - 11.5% ABV
Pete
     This is just so so bitter. It stays with you for quite a long time. On the plus side, that masks the alcohol.

Lagunitas Willettized Coffee Stout
Imperial Stout - 12.6% ABV
Pete
     Damn good stout. Definitely taste coffee, and a bit of spiciness from the rye. Maybe a tiny hint of booze, but nothing like you might expect from that level of alcohol, so be careful. My recommendation: as long as you don't combine this with tequila shots to celebrate a Super Bowl victory (go birds), you'll be fine.
