From the tap at the bistro during Stone’s Winter Storm 2008. This was served in a 6 oz miniature snifter or possible wine glass and had perfect clarity. It was a glowing brass color with a small layer of foam for head and had a spicy yeast nose. The drink was still well carbonated and had a Stone signature style of Belgian yeast that was spicy in its own unique way. I think this should be bottled again.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks!). Poured a medium orangish color with a small sized off whtie head. Aromas of pears, banans, some spices, and citrus. Tastes of the same fruitiness and spices. Some oxidation is starting to set in.

Thanks to hopdog for sharing this one! Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma of mixed citrus, tropical fruits, tea and some ligh tripel spices. Flavor of light Belgian yeast esters, peppery notes, some various citrus notes and apricot. Oxidation has set in on this one and I think has impacted this beer negatively. It was nice to give it a try but it has passed it’s prime.

On tap at brewery in January ... apricot/amber color; small head. Aroma and flavor of sweet malts and fruits. Light citrus, peach, honey, slight aging harshness/breakdown but smooth and tasty overall despite the age. I’d like to see them make this again.

Tap @ Stone winter Storm 1/28/08, shared with bikesandbeer and my girlfriend Cyn. Pours orange with a bright ring island. Nose is sweet and sharp. Taste is very nice, sweet and tasty with a big mouthfeel.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On-tap 1/28/08 at Stone. I’m way down for the good cause and all but man, it’s overrated, this brew is average at best. Pours golden yellow with a fizzy white head that fades quickly to nothing. Faint smell of sweet bready malts. Tastes bready, malty sweet, banana, apricot, with a touch of citrus. Mouthfeel is full, carbonation is active and good at first but it fades ignificantly towards the end of the glass.
