22oz bottle, 8.9%abv
Lagunitas Brewing
Petaluma, CA
This year's Lucky 13 has a bit different label and, if I'm remembering correctly, a bit bolder flavor.
Pours quite clear with a nice white head. Color is dark gold to light amber -- it's quite pretty.
Aroma is nicely hoppy, but with a big malt undertone with nice caramel too.
Flavor is similar with robust hops and matching malt. Very tasty but also noticeably big with a good bit of alcohol warmth.
Finish is a bit on the sweet side, but not overly so. This is strong enough that it would probably age nicely and dry out a bit.
Pretty darn tasty.

That new phone's camera is so good you can even see the dog coveting your beer in the background. Nice!
