Lagunitas's 12th of Never Ale brings together old and new school hops in a balanced pale ale that marks a brewing milestone. This was Lagunitas's first beer released in cans—a notable moment for a brewery whose founder had once sworn against canning his craft.

The beer presents a golden hue beneath a generous white head. The aroma opens with tropical fruit, citrus, and floral notes, backed by sweet malt character. On the palate, a solid malt backbone supports moderate hop bitterness, bright citrus, and a subtle peppery twist. Light yet full-bodied, it finishes dry with a lingering hoppy bitterness that feels clean and satisfying.
