Lagunitas Stoopid Wit

Lagunitas Stoopid Wit is a Witbier, with lots of hops. Sounds like Lagunitas to me. 6.3% ABV, no bottle date.

This beer pours a good bit clearer and darker than your typical Wit, more of a Pale Ale/IPA golden color with a big white head. The aroma is loaded with notes of grapefruit, pineapple and orange. In addition is some mild Belgian like spice and a little bit of banana as well. I’m getting more hops than wheat on the palate, but there is just the slightest bit of wheat flavor coming out of the malt profile. The hops are truly dominate in the taste, however, with some nice citrus fruit and a little bit of pine as well. Appearance, aroma and taste all have me thinking of this more as a Belgian IPA as opposed to some kind of hoppy Belgian Witbier.

As expected from Lagunitas, they deliver another tasty hop forward beer, specific beer style be damned.
