Huge, resinous double IPA that drinks like hop oil. Over 11% ABV according to the label. Simply dank.







Probably the smoothest dipa I have ever had. Such nice flavor. I love bitter but this is a great alternative. Only tiny complaint is you start to feel the syrupy-ness after a glass or two.



A. Big beer that has a good balance of hops and malt. Not as aromatic as some, but very good flavor. 2016 bigger aroma and 11.5 abv. 2019 good, but A- especially compared to Hoptimum. Hoptimum is more clean, Waldos? has a bit too much sweetness lingering on my tongue, that even the dank hops don?t cut through. 2021 a bit disappointed, as the hops were more earthy, not very strong or dank, so malt seemed too big. B rating. 2022 B to B- was a muddled mess, I couldn?t pick out individual flavors and the hops were not very strong.



4 stars. Make sure it's your last cuz it's going to mess up your taste buds. Solid DIPA. Huge Lagunitas fan. Go big or go home - or stay on the porch Pedro.





A very hoppy and smooth IPA with a little finishing bite. Has a 11 ABV which you would never know. A really good IPA which I would recommend.



APPEARANCE - Opaque, 1FH, carbonation, amber, lacing.
AROMA/SCENT - Hops, citrus, pine.
TASTE - Hops, bitter, yeast, pine.
MOUTHFEEL/PALATE/TEXTURE - Thick, carbonation, smooth, creamy, lingering, bubbly.
VALUE - $8 for 12-oz draft. Decent.
OVERALL/DRINKABILITY - Great beer. Why the hell won't they bottle it?
