After a frucking long day at work, I was in some dire need for some drinks. The Lagunitas Hop Stoopid was recommended by a coworker. Being easily coxed into whatever most of the time I went for this Ale. It didn't hurt that it was only 3.99 for a pint bottle. Lets face it. I want something quality from time to time, but i don't really want to pay for it. It's the 'Merican way really. How often do you just go out and spend a bunch of money on an item that you've never had before. Probably never, unless you're one of "those" types that either spends all your money and complains about not having any or you are so rich from your parents that burning $100 bills can't bring you joy thus further. Back to the beer, I opened up this ale which by the way has an 8% alc. content. Shit that's a good amount for a $3.99 beer. Makes that papst/rainer/busch/high life/ any other cheapo beer in your hand go placid. Your first sip of this beer will be a bit confusing. Your taste buds need a chance to be submerged with the flavor/ texture of what the fuck is going on. Slow it down buddy, enjoy that shit. A couple more sips go down and maybe a gulp was intermingled in there as well. You get a light dry /citrus flavor with that hoppyness that jumps across the tongue. All of this considered, it is a smooth beer, doesn't have that meatiness that others have where you can't tell whether you've had a beer or a meal. Maybe the only problem here is these could go down too easy. I could really see myself drinking a few more of these and starting some ruckus. I've only had about 8 oz. and I'm feeling a little reaction. I'm no little tike either. 3 bottles of this and i'm sure I'd be either on the floor or possibly wrestling my friends in a friendly WWE(i still consider it WWF) Cage match, just like at my wedding. Get this as either a connoisseur of beers or if you just want to do the job and forget about the worries of your normal day. Make sure the Ibprofen and glass of water is waiting for you in the morning.
