      The pour came out how I expected. The head was fluffy and left lacing for most the glass. It's see thru and bubbly. This beer has a nice red color. The scent came off the bottle as soon as I popped the top! The sweet caramel malts mix well with the nice bitter hop blend in the bouquet. Somewhere between IPA and ESB in flavor profile. You deffinitly don't get a 9.6% abv flavor off of it. Sweet fresh malts with a nice mix of spicy hops that aren't too over bearing. All around another great beer from lagunitus! 
      Another long name for a really really good beer. It's dedicated to the police that shut them down. Who couldn't love a beer or a company that does that kind of thing. Not as bitter as you would expect though. Strong, delicious, and putting it to the man! If you can't get behind at least one of those things then I would just stay away from lagunitus... Cause this is just what they do and they do it well!
