Lagunitas Hop Stoopid

I'm not sure why the label on "Hop Stoopid" looks nothing like any of Lagunitas' other labels. Especially when all of their other labels seem to be very cohesive. This was part of the reason I hadn't picked this one up earlier. I love Lagunitas and anything I haven't tried from them I make an effort to find.                                                                   As it so happens I asked little bro to pick up this one for Man's Night and he came through.                                                              At 102 IBU's I was waiting for a hop nuclear warhead but once again Lagunitas comes through. Perfectly balanced.                                                                               This was probably one of the LEAST fragrant IPA's that profess to be over the top hopped I have ever had. There was a tinge of pine and spice but nothing near what I expected for 102 IBU's. It also was a more golden yellow than the last few IPA's I have had. None of that orangey, coppery color.         There wasn't anything spectacular about this beer except for that at 8% ABV it was still very drinkable. I enjoyed it but I won't be buying more when there are so many other IPA's out there
