When a person does a series of beer review, Lagunitas Sucks Holiday Ale would always be on everyone’s list. This beer made from California USA, has a good history. It’s invention was actually just accidental. Something went terribly when the brewery was attempting to make a batch of “Olde Gnarly Wine Ale”: one of the products that they are selling. To be able to saved these products, a bunch of brown sugar was added to the boil and Lagunitas Sucks Holiday Ale, Brown Shuga Substitute was born. This is now considered one of the best light beers in USA.
Its aroma is the first factor why it is considered one of the best light beers among beer reviews. Lagunitas has developed a very large aromatic element which finishes with some metal. The overwhelming aromas of guava, mango and peach would surely give you the high to taste this beer. Some pineapple and citrus notes are present in this best light beer as well. It is exceptionally powerful if you would talk about its aroma.
Its color was the next thing you would give credits to this beer. In almost all beer reviews, everyone loves its soothing pale gold color with some haziness but not as chill haze.
The aftertaste is a little buttery with the diacetyl coming through in the finish quite strongly. It doesn’t detract too strongly from the beer for me since this is still a very, very fruity beer indeed, but it does not make the brew feel clean at all. Not especially well defined really, and that detracts from the fruity element that I generally like. Medium to low carbonation and a slight viscous feel in the mouth may not be good at all but still I
consider okay.The taste would always be the basis for a beer known to be a great one. Lagunitas, considering it is one of the best light beers proves itself with its big tangerine and grapefruit note which carries through, into the taste. This is an extremely fruity beer indeed which everyone likes. Others may say that this beer is too bitter to drink; it may be the case if you are a beginner in drinking such stuffs. But when you are used to it, you can actually determine right away, which beer sucks and which beer is a good one. Lagunitas Sucks Holiday Ale, Brown Shuga Substitute is recommended to be paired of with fruity hop notes with even more flavors of the tropics. A meal of Caribbean pork and plantains will work well. The aggressive bitterness of the IPA will be calmed by the marbling of the pork, which also works to bring out fruit aromas in the beer. This would be a nice meal I promise. With the best main course and best light beer together, it is an absolutely perfect match!
