Lagunitas - Little Sumpin'

Run, don't walk to your bottle shop. If they can get it, this limited release ale won't spend much time on the shelves. Another fine west coast ale.

From the label:

Little Sumpin'
Sumpin' Ale

64IBU, OG 1.076

Great beer. I find it every once in awhile at my local beer shop.

I had no idea this was limited! I grabbed a bottle a couple of weeks ago and thought it was probably one of the best IPAs I've had!

It's their summer beer...it's been on shelves for a few months. It's a dry hopped american wheat ale like Gumball Head. Little Sumpin Wild is a limited release i believe that only comes in bombers.

It's a wheat? Man, it's not like any wheat I've had. I'm usually not a fan of the style.

I just grabbed a 6 pack of the sumpin sumpin the other day on a whim... holy crap it's fantastic. Wheat beer with all the "c" hops...

I wasn't doubting you BO, I checked it out. Just surprised.


cheers

ah bro naw I wasn't trying come off as mean I just thought links would be nice.

Wow, I had no idea it was a wheat either.

Sumpin' Extra! is almost 9% and all kinds of fantastic.

Bought a bottle this weekend i'll probably crack it open tonight to share for the bears vs. packers game.

great beer, i had it earlier this summer. grapefruit a plenty.

Im in northern Cali and I have been searching for it. I have been to a few stores. I hope I get to catch it! If I do not find my Friday I will pack the wife and kid into the car and head to Petaluma(1.5hrs away), I will have this by Saturday!

Found a Little Sumpin' WILD today, fermented with the Westmalle yeast. Very tasty Belgian IPA!

Really liked this beer. Nice to find something different in the AIPA style, very nice. Tried Sumpin Wild also. Nice beer but thought the Belgian yeast was drowned out by the high IBU's.

Drinking a glass of it right now. Very good. Did anyone try Tyranena la femme amere? Very similar with both being BIPAs.

As I drink one of the Wilds right now I can agree with this statement completely. All I'm getting is a nose and mouth full of hops; not bad by any means but I'm wondering if maybe some aging would help let the yeast shine a little more.

Thoughts...?

Had Lil' Sumpin' Wild last night on tap at Firkin in Libertyville, IL...really good beer and I too was surprised to learn it was a wheat. Does anyone have an all grain clone recipe for it?

I love firkin, naw man it's an ipa brewed with Belgium yeast

Just cracked open a Lil Sumpin Wild, and man is that good! Lagunitas is 3 for 3 (or 2.5 for 2.5) on their seasonals with me. Loved Undercover Shutdown, Sumpin Sumpin, and Sumpin Wild

A very good beer!

found the wild in the safeway by my house, had no idea they had a pretty decent selection of bombers till about a week ago. good to know that it's great though, probably be popping it open tomorrow

I loved Lil' Sumpin' but I'm not a big fan of Lil' Sumpin' Wild. The belgian yeast flavor/aroma doesn't complement the american hop character...

I had the Lil' Sumpin' Wild from a bottle last night. Tasty. I liked the belgian yeast in it a lot more than I thought I would.

Tried Lil' Sumpin Sumpin last year on recommendation of a local bottle shop. I like it quite a bit, but I have to be in the mood for hoptasticness.

I tend to go for beer with lower IBUs, but this beer is really good with spicy food.

Have not tried Sumpin' Wild because while I love Belgian styles, I wasn't a fan of Stone's Cali-Belg so I was thinking the style probably wasn't my thing.

I wasn't a fan of the Sumpin' Wild either. I'm a big fan of belgians and IPAs at the same time, I just didn't think this beer worked. I'd prefer to drink Victory's Wild Devil.
