Yummy! Find some, quick!

First of all, this is a great beer. A peachy amber color with an incredible nose. A garden of flowers and citrus fruits, really perfumy. After a while, ripe bananas join the party. Its got a citrussy/perfumy/coriandery flavor with a nice hop bite. This beer is really smooth, like drinking flower nectar but remember that the bees sting. Thanks a lot to Beersnob for this one.

Tight self sustaining head. Velvety peach apricot, and cream in the nose that continues into the mouthfeel with orange peel, coriander, and slight pepper. Alcohol develops as the beer warms. Less spicy than when it was released. Incredably complex.rerate 6MAR06 Nose hase gotten sweeter, light coriander and sweet cream. Fairly dry, subduded spiceyness, floral, cram, light toffee, snoflake delicatness, the smell of light hopflowers. Carbonation less vigorous still has lots of yeast. Very smooth, creame brule, white bread, and honey comb. Yet another rerate 3/22/03 Lots of bubblegum phenols(sp), and curaco in the nose, peppery, orange creamcicle and bandaid.

Tasting notes from June 29th 2002 Vibrant hazy orangish-yellow in colour with voluminous white head, the kind you could float a jingle ball on according to that old Sam Adams commercial. Feverish carbonation creates an effervescent almost champagne like appearance. Potent aroma of citrus and spice with a bold hop sharpness. Flavor of hops does not cut through as much as would be expected from Stone. Instead bold, burning pepper and strong citric flavors meld with sweet, doughy yeast and spice. Rich, full bodied flavor and overwhelming mouthfeel. Sweet, spicy finish and aftertaste. A bit unbalanced at the moment, but I am sure that will change with age. Makes me think this is some sort of amped up Belgian Wit / Triple hybrid.

Aged, this thing is gonna be a monster. I have this habit of sniffing the mist on the top of the beer immediately after opening, and when I did this with this brew I got incredible malt depth, down to my spine. The hops are perfect, not too heaping. The palate is exactly right; much much stronger and up to the task of conveying the flavorful essence of this beer than the Allagash White, which is in it’s own right a very good brew. This hits it, though. The aroma is mediciney, bandagey to the nth degree. The taste bitter, earthy, moderately spicy (pine, anise). Great! I wanted a bit more maltiness in the aroma, I think.
