12th of Never Ale
Bright citrus, rich coconut and papaya-like fruit play across a stage of English puffed wheat, tropically hoppy and light yet full-bodied, pale, cold and bitter. A blend of old- and new-school hops, and a moderate 5.5 % take on everything the brewery knows about hop-forward beer. Lagunitas opened a second brewery in Chicago in 2014 and closed it on 1 August 2024.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 12th of Never Ale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
