What do you guys think about this years version of Lagunitas Sucks?

At first taste I knew it was one of my top picks. I ordered one case into my store the first week,then three the next. I am going for broke when my rep comes in next. Have any of you guys tried it yet? What do you think? Ratebeer link and Lagunitas.com link.

I really like the Lagunitas Sucks this year. Picked up a sixer last weekend. Then again, I like most of the hoppy stuff from Lagunitas.

Meh. But then, I wasn't excited by brown sugga either...

Beer30StoreOP•

Brown Shugga' is way sweet. I have found that if you let it age for about a year it tastes tremendously better. You probably still wouldn't like it though.

I thought that the batch from 2 years ago was sweet, but that this years batch of brown sugga had a nice bitterness to balance it out.

Beer30StoreOP•

Yeah, this years was tasty. I have a six pack aging. It tasted even better on tap though. I am gonna call up the place where I had it and see if I can get a growler filled.

Probably my favorite Lagunitas beer. I really like the lightness of it.

3
Beer30StoreOP•

Yeah. Unlike many beers that come out around this time of year it has a nice, mild body.

I've probably drunk more of this beer than any beer I didn't make in the last year. Good and cheap.

3
fafcake•

Cheap? I think it is $11 or $12 a six pack here. Not exactly what I'd call cheap.

That being said a great beer.

2
Beer30StoreOP•

$12.99 at my store.

its like $9-10 at my store

I thought it was good but I swear it tastes almost identical to Little Sumpin Sumpin. I don't get all the hype over this beer when Little Sumpin is so easily available.

3
punkrkr27•

Downvoted for that? I'm not knocking the beer. I think it's a great beer but when I tried this years I was shocked at how it tastes almost exactly the same as Little Sumpin Sumpin. No one else has noticed that?

1
trickyspaniard•

People probably just don't agree with you and ignore reddiquette. I don't think it tastes like Little Sumpin at all, but I didn't downvote you.

I love this beer but I thought this year the mouthfeel was a bit thin. Not having last years to compare it too, I am probably just imagining that. Still delicious though.

I can't believe how effin' spoiled we are for beer these days. Right now in Chicago we've got Hopslam, Sucks, Palate Wrecker, Pipeworks' Galaxy Unicorn on the way - and that's just the double IPAs!

somnambulistrex•

woah woah woah, they're making more Galaxy Unicorn?!

1
meat_wave•

Yeah, listed as dropping next week on the 28th... Sadly no more Citra Ninja until they can get ahold of more Citra hops.

1
somnambulistrex•

I can do without the Citra Ninja. It was damn good drinkin', but not nearly as good as the Galaxy Unicorn.

1
meat_wave•

Yeah you might be right about that. I think I'm just craving that juicy fruit nose on the Citra Ninja tonight for some reason.

I can't keep my damn cat away from mine. If i toss the bottle cap on the ground it usually keeps him occupied long enough for me to pour it. He will lick the bottle rim and as soon as I crack one he comes running. I can't blame him though. It does smell delicious.

2
GhostShark•

Maybe they brewed it with catnip...

1
Beer30StoreOP•

Seriously. He grabs my bottle with both paws and licks the rim like a madmancat.

1
nicksoapdish•

absolutely love it!

2
stlunatic15•

I like it a lot. Tastes like a blend of their brown shugga and IPA.

2
jpellett251•

That's not my impression of it at all.

1
Beer30StoreOP•

Yeah, it does kinda taste like that(minus the molasses flavor.) I love the smell.

soonami•

I like it as much as Pliny

2
JohnnyMcAwesome•

It's fucking great.

OystersAreEvil•

I am tasting Lagunitas Sucks and Three Floyds Zombie Dust side by side, and they're remarkably similar. ZD has more of a honey aroma/flavor, is slightly darker, and Sucks is clearer (visually). I might prefer Sucks, but both are very excellent. It's rather hard to choose.

Surprisingly fantastic.

Fantastic! I've found singleton small format bottles and one six pack in Colorado. Hope I can find more.

Just had this last night during a search for a case of Tröegs Nugget Nectar, and was absolutely blown away. I got my six pack of Nugget Nectar, but now all I want to do is bring a trunk full of growlers back to this place and stock up on Lagunitas Sucks.
