Oct 24, 2007 Orange colored beer with a creamy off white head. Big nose with equal parts alcohol, caramel and hop resin. Thick mouthfeel that almost got syrupy. Tons of caramel sweetness and just stacks of pine resin, candied grapefruit rind, apricot and spicey hops in the bottle. Really an enjoyable big IIPA.

Oct 18, 2007 Another treat from Stone. Hazy amber with red tints under a smal, off-white head. Intoxicating aroma of fresh citrus hops mingled with sweet caramel malt and a touch of pine. Rich and robust. The flavor was a noce blend of the hops and malt. Very enjoyable.

Oct 16, 2007 Bottle via trade. Fluffy white head. Very dark orange beer. Spicy earthy hop nose. Heavy start to the flavour but lightens up. Spicy hop and malt body. Has a cool undefinable quality and very present alcohol.

Oct 16, 2007 Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Cloudy reddish amber. Vast aroma of grapefruity hops. Solidly malty with predominant cookie malt character covered in an abundance o fsalty graepfruity hops. Lingering really bitter finish. Pretty straight forward beer, not the most complex in the world, but quality all the way through.

Oct 14, 2007 Bottled. Big thanks to Per! Pours out in a hazy reddish orange colour with a low, sticky white foam. Hoppy and citric aroma of grapefruit, bloodoranges with sweet resinous piney notes. Full, hoppy and bitter flavour pine-needles, grapefruit, lemon-zest and caramel. Long hoppy finish of grapefruit and wet grass with sweet undertones of caramel and bloodoranges. But the hops still dominates . Well-hiden alcohol. Great!

does not count  Sep 18, 2007 Dark orange/copper, luscious head without being too bubbly. Heavier bodied IIPA with a sweetness on the finish to round out the monster hops on the nose.

Sep 17, 2007 Orange/copper and small, frothy white head. All hops with some lightly sweet malt in the background- citrus rind, citrus flesh, venomous resin, floral sweetness. Full/medium body, balanced carbonation, syrupy. Satisfies the hop fix.

Sep 10, 2007 Pours a clear gold with an amber tone to it. Big head with strong lacing. Holy hops, Batman! Extremely hoppy flavor and sweet to boot. Smooths out as you go on. Leaves a sweet and almost citric flavor on your tongue. Feel is good and it is extremely drinkable and gets even more so as you go on. A beautifully crafted beer that I am very glad I was able to try on tap.
