/Lagunitas : MAXIMUS 9% double IPA - Simcoe and Cascade 
Dank, hop forward but overall balanced double IPA. Goes down extremely smooth. Frothy yellow-white head about two fingers wide
with craters around the center, probably my favorite go-to double. This and Little Sumpin' Sumpin' are my favorite from Lagunitas.
I can taste rich floral and malted notes. VERY much a bang-for-your-buck beer with delish taste and a percentage what will absolutely
get you dangerously trashed. Proceed with caution...it's too good to put down.

/Proclimation : SHADOW KING 5.8% IPA - Strata, Pacifica & Nelson
Tall-boy four pack and one of the first beers I bought when turning 21. Looks can be deceptive with a very dark neutral can.
Showing only greys and blacks. It's body is very bright and hazy and has the smell of cantaloupe and zest. The head is small,
Only maybe a half inch tall. Sipping this is quite enjoyable with a very soft mouthfeel, almost like drinking a cloud.
Hops are present but apricot and cantaloupe are the most forward tasting notes. Not the best beer but I can definitely buy a
single can once in a blue moon.

/Wormtown : BUDDAH'S JUICE 9.6% triple IPA - Sorachi Ace, Bravo, Summit
Tall-boy four pack and MY FAVORITE CURRENT IPA. I haven't poured it in a glass but I can tell you it's perfect the way it is.
You shouldn't drink this in a glass like some poseur hippie. This is part of Wormtown's Underground Series! Dedicated to punks
and hardcore and any other band flying under the radar in Worcester. Drink it right out of a fridge behind a bar and two-step
trying not to spill the prescious balanced flavor of Buddah's Hand citron and grapefruit. This drink is very much hop-forward
but is very balanced out with the fruit inside it. It's very smooth to sip and throw at the dude elbowing everyone and not
helping anyone up at the Vein.fm show you ended up drunk at. Not much else to say but to try it yourself if you're in the
New England area and are able to get ahold of it. Zesty, dry, with a perfect balance.

/Lagunitas : WALDOS' 11.2% triple IPA - Citra and Mosaic 
A very intense biting flavor that reminds me of an extremely dank "Road 2 Ruin" (Two Roads) or "Torpedo" (Sierra Nevada). To be quite honest,
I'm not seeing the hype surrounding this limited release. I was lucky enough to pick up a 5pk from a bigger liquor store, sadly not a 6.
Someone pulled one to try it out, I guess. There's not much of a flavor, aside the descriptors: "dank" and "hop." Which is what this beer is going for.
And drinking straight from the bottle was a big regret because the sediment at the bottom filled my mouth when finishing the beer. 
It wasn't enjoyable, to say the very least. Hop concentrate and weed thickened into a sludge went down my throat, and I sat there in
an overwhelming disgust. I usually enjoy Lagunitas brews, but this is overdone.
Yes, this is what it's going for, but there's no balance between
anything. Just polarity in tasting notes.
