I took a 6-pack of this camping along with Frosty and our families last weekend and figured that a nice cream ale would be a good choice for camping festivities.  This choice was Siriusly wrong.

Lagunitas appears to have taken this beer way too seriously and made something too “sirius” to be drinkable.   It’s a concoction that’s loosely  musty, hoppy,  and overly spiced.   My wife says it tastes like grapefruit and she willingly, YES WILLINGLY, agreed to drink the rest of this vile swill.

I’m only going to give it a 2 because previously I really have tasted worse and probably will again.  I’m saving my ONES for gag reflex inducing future Swillfests.   My faith in the American brewer has been tainted once again.

Only the “reserve beers” (Alaskan Summer Ale, Stumptown Tart, Fat Tire, etc) from the home stash saved the weekend from being a total Swill Ride.

Real short, because sadly, Lagunitas Censored Ale is one of those forgettable beers. It’s not awesome and not terrible. Ale-y with a slight hoppy kick, but not too obnoxious. I suppose I could try and say something funny about the fact they had to censor its original name, but much like the real Kronic, I’ve had too much and can’t feel my face….man these keys are so big…wow look at my hands!
