Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale @ Small Bar

This summer-only American-style Pale Ale packs a whollop in terms of flavor and ABV (7.7%), but it's not ultra hoppy like many IPA's. In fact, it manages to combine what I would call the best parts of a good IPA (immediate full mouthfeel and high ABV warming, coupled with slightly-sour/bitter notes) without the sometimes overwhelming hoppy bitterness. In fact, this is one of the few American-style PA's that the girlfriend actually enjoys. Lagunitas tends to be hit and miss with their seasonal and limited edition brews, but this is one of its stars.

9/10
