Lagunitas Lucky 13

Posted by dugpark on May 23, 2008

Oy… what a beer.  This bottle packs a flavor filled punch that made me very sad to be done with it and also the lush of the picnic I was at… :)   There I was, walking around with my Lagunitas Lucky 13 (no product information on their website), enjoying my picnic and sharing a taste with anyone that wanted one… and it wasn’t a hard sell since this beer tasted so good.

Per the website, this beer is on limited release and we actually got it a bit early in Fred Meyer in Monroe, WA.  Sometimes it is good to be in Monroe.

Sirius Ale 6 packs, Kegs
Lucky 13 22 oz, Kegs

As far as the taste goes, this is one thick, dark, viscous, amber ale that has a kick and a punch and isn’t afraid to push you down and make you call it daddy.  The smell is thick and indulgent with plenty of hops ready to touch your taste buds.  The first sip out of the bottle was heavy, flavorful, strong.  A mouthful of beer that I still haven’t forgotten today, a week later.  At ~8% ABV, this beer hits quick and you are glad for it.  A very, very good red ale that I won’t soon forget.
