Commercial Description:
Who is qualified to judge one's contribution? Is it the pure Wisconsin barley malt or shall credit be given to traditional German and English hops? Maybe it is the Belgian Monastic yeast or the Brewer's tender care? Combined, this is a sophisticated Abbey style ale. Both elegant and drinkable this ale is cleanly aromatic with spicy notes of clove and ginger. Crisp and fragrant up front while gracefully sliding into warm malt notes at the finish. Fermented natually in this bottle, the beer in your hand is a living testament to the value of many working together to create something bigger than the individual parts. Moving a mountain begins with a single stone.

Bottle. A beautiful pale golden, even the haze adds a velvety sheen to it. Nice thin lacing head. Effervescent but not fizzy. Yeast/doughy nose, slightest of lemon. Aroma is not as fruity as say a Duvel, but very understated citrus and slight apricot. Satin on the tongue, a real soft treat..and excellent in my book. Softer than a Duvel, and more elegant. I think Carey is headed into the great beyond with this recent shift toward Belgium....and I wanna go too!

Aroma has a hint of banana esters, some clove and other in determinant spices and a tiny touch of minerals. Pours a cloudy, golden-yellow with a tall white head that thins. Interesting flavors, subtle Belgian yeast characterized by bubblegum and spices followed by a bit of bread-like malt mid-palate and some sweet, honey and corn flavors near the finish. I even get a bit of bitterness in the finish. Light in body with a fairly watery texture and a crisp, dry finish.

This is simply a great ale. I bought a sampler pack from New Glarus and this is the one that found a year round home in the fridge. The aroma is light with some hop and yeast, but the flavor blows you away. A perfect beer for almost any time. Except when it gets cold here in Wisconsin.

Aroma of monastic yeast, clove, other spices. Average sized, creamy, white head that is mostly lasting. Body is hazy, golden amber in hue. Initial flavor is sweet with clove, other spices. Finish is fruity and sweet, average duration. Medium bodied, average carbonation, creamy texture. This is an all around great beer. Make Stone Soup a year round, permanent New Glarus selection, please Dan!!

Very good beer. Tastes similar to New Glarus Spotted Cow but with more complex flavors. I am a big fan of Spotted Cow and the Stone Soup is a nice change of pace.
