Lagunitas at it Again

Lagunitas has really impressed us recently with their past and present seasonal offerings, as well as their recently released 2009 Correction Ale. As was mentioned in a previous blog, Lagunitas had plans to release a brand new summer beer that was to be announced. Well their spanking new summer beer hit Binny’s shelves this week. Here is the description of the innovative beer from Lagunitas:

 

A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale

ABV: 7.7%

"Way smooth and silky with a wheaty-esque-ish-ness. Just the little sumpin’ sumpin’ we all need to kick Summer into full swing."

 

To us, A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale was a tantalizing hopped up wheat beer. We found ourselves wondering if this was indeed a wheat beer or an IPA, and came to the conclusion that it is both. Look out for its deceptive drinkability despite its 7.7% ABV. It is a refreshing beer perfect for summer, and is poised to compete with heavy hitting summer beers like Bell’s Oberon and Three Floyd’s Gumballhead. Just as we would say for any of the Lagunitas line of beers, A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale is a must try. It will be on sale for the short remainder of May, so if you are looking forward to trying it, it would be wise to head over to Binny’s in the next few days. Are there any other breweries that have impressed you more so than Lagunitas over the last several months?

I think the Little Sumpin' beats out Gumballhead...quite tasty.

I would also include Great Lakes in amongst the breweries doing great things. I think the Glockenspiel is a fantastic weizenbock, and even if I didn't like the Grassroots very much, (much better on tap), it was still a fun experiment.
