Lagunitas Sakitumi Beer Review (One Hitter Series)

Sakitumi from Lagunitas Brewing Company is a 9% ABV 42 IBU Imperial IPA that is brewed with Sake yeast and rice as part of the process. A little bit sweet and a good amount tasty, this beer is one that is almost designed to be chugged as it goes down so easy. Maybe that’s why they put it in a 32 ounce bottle, although I’m sure some have done so. This is my look at this beer that unfortunately was released as part of the One Hitter Series, so when it’s gone it’s gone. I will say though that it was well worth the pick up here as you will see and hear in the video. This one was an easy 4 out of 5 for me.
