Lagunitas India Pale Ale
The bottle makes it abundantly clear: this is an IPA, or India Pale Ale. If the 1.5 inch tall letters aren't enough, the description around the border refers to it as a "homicidally hoppy ale". When I poured the beer and tasted, unsurprisingly, it tastes like an IPA. I'm not sure I agree with the label's statement, however. The Stone Ruination IPA I had previously would be "homicidally hoppy" in my opinion. Lagunitas' IPA, on the other hand, is definitely a hoppy beer, but not one that's going to overwhelm your taste buds. Although I disagree a bit with the marketing description, the label's slogan (next to the picture of the dog) sums it up quite well: "Doggone good."
