Serving Type: 12 oz. bottle, poured into a tulip glass
The limited release Undercover Investigation from Lagunitas is an American strong ale that weighs in at a strangely precise 9.87% ABV. The body is a deep chestnut with a cherry red glow. The head is a huge creamy light tan foam with excellent retention. The lacing matches with thick layers down most of the length of the glass. The nose is sweet and syrupy with a dominent piney hop component. The toasted malts give nose some added depth with a light hint of dates.
The mouthfeel is velvety with sudsy carbonation. The beer is sweet and immensely fruity with minor earthy undertones. The hops are big and primarily piney, with a significant resinous edge. The finish is fairly boozy with some warming that helps develop the lasting caramel flavor and nearly-biting dry hops.
Final Verdict: B+
