It seems that I have found another beer review for a 2009 release after thinking that I had taken care of them all. I don’t believe that there will be a 2010 version of this one, but I will put it out there just in case it makes a comeback one of these years (and just because I have it).
If I have not mentioned it previously, unless I say otherwise the beer review was done when the beer was supposed to be consumed. This one, for example, was done last year. Though not as much recently, I have a tendency to review many more beers than I can post on the site only doing so twice a week. Of course I could share more evaluations each week (and sometimes I do), but there are others things that I like to post about as well. Not exactly a disclaimer, but it clears things up some for those who were curious.
Now on we go . . .
Brewery: Lagunitas Brewing Co. (Petaluma, CA)
Name: 2009 Correction Ale
Style: American IPA
ABV: 6.33%
Tasting Notes: Stored in the fridge and served in a pint glass. $3.99 for 22oz.
Aroma: Fruity hop aroma (that seems to have somewhat of a strawberry character) and some underlying sweetness. A good, full nose overall.
Appearance: Medium golden color with some orange tint. Two finger, slightly off-white head that is thick and slowly dissipates with a laced trail. Very clear with visible rising bubbles.
Flavor: Medium hoppy flavor that is slightly fruity with some resiny character. Also a medium hop bitterness with some low malty flavor underneath. Overall pretty well balanced with some slight dryness and just enough lingering at the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light body with medium to high carbonation that provides some bite. Slight creaminess and smooth overall.
Overall Impressions: Enjoyable IPA with not too much bitterness in the flavor. Not my favorite of their brews, but that is hardly an insult. Excellent value at price point, as usual.
Grade: B to B+
The picture was lost with so many others, but just look for the dog with a spot over his left eye and you will be in Lagunitas land. You will be in a good spot to pick out something else since this one is long gone!
