Sumpin' Easy

Tap to rate

A velvety, super smooth ale at 5.7 % with a fruit and resin finish, like biting into a freshly picked peach. Loads of Ekuanot hops sit on 2-row malted barley and a bit of wheat character. Heineken bought half of Lagunitas in 2015 and the rest in May 2017. The brewery lives by the line Beer Speaks (for itself).

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and velvety on the palate, with peach and light fruit flavors dominating the mid-palate. The hop bitterness integrates gently—restrained and resinous rather than aggressive—while the wheat grain adds a soft, almost creamy texture that balances the 18 IBU throughout.
