As advertized, hopped way up with extracts to 102 IBUs at 8% ABV, the way McDonalds makes French fries in a lab, both in aroma and taste, thick, golden hues, and thick mouth feel... makes a good beer for watching the Rose Bowl (Stanford is tearing the Cheese heads a new one so far.. and all I can think is how much I'd love to see the Cheese Heads pull it out.)Interestingly, the fine print on Lagunitas' Hop Stoopid label quotes part of Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne, a song with references to the notorious drug designer, Stanley Owsley, if no Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters, comparing the part about "test tubes and scales" to life in the hop lab, pulling extracts out to ramp up the flavas.
To extend the metaphors of this Hop Science project, I'd say Hop Stupid puts "gas in the car and I think the people down the hall know who you are".
