Nov 2, 2006 22 oz bottle
Deep amber coloured beer with a thin white head. Lovely hop aromas of grapefruit, pine resin and a bit of peppery alcohol as well. Sweet pale malt with a touch of caramel. Peachy/orangey aroma as well with a bit of cologne and spice as well. The flavour is quite boozy but there is a lovely spicy/orangey character that I find myself quite liking. It’s a very good brew, a bit too alcoholic IMHO and while all of the components are nice enough it doesn’t really distinguish itself all that much either. Bitterness is surprisingly

Nov 2, 2006 Lovely amber colour, off white head. Fabulous aroma of complex hops with the flavour being a mighty blow of hoppiness. Da-amn.

Nov 2, 2006 Courtesy of DYCSoccer17. Small amounts of head. Lightly cloudy rosy brown. Aroma of cherry jello, a somewhat unpleasant "cattiness," brown sugar and ethanol. EtOH figures prominently once again in the flavor, little malt character save perhaps a few graham crackers. A slight orangey hint. Finishes with strong bitterness which is a bit rougher than I care for.

Nov 2, 2006 If this was available year round, i’d be just like Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. But instead of a bottle of Vodka, I’d be chugging a bottle of Stone 10th Anniversary Ale. It has all the good characteristics of a good Imperial. Fruity aroma, Malty initial tastewith ressinny after taste. Tons of Cascade hops here. I will continually write Stone about this beer until they end up supplying it as a year round brew or seasonal Bomber. A recupe this good can not just be brewed once!!

Nov 1, 2006 Thanks to a recent business trip to Pasadena, I had a chance to sample this and a few other Stone ales that aren’t available in NJ. This one pours a beautiful ruddy ruby with a moonscape khaki head and lacing that practically etched the glass. Big fruity and piney aroma with hints of pepper and alcohol. The flavor was classic Stone - aggressive hops with plenty of malt to reign them in. Grapefruit, brown sugar, candy apples, caramel and BIG hops swirl, dance and battle for attention from the first sip to the last. Typically creamy and full Stone mouthfeel and a long, moderately dry but complex finish with a somewhat bracing bite of alcohol. Happy 10th Anniversary to the Brewing Arrogance!

Nov 1, 2006 Pours a deep golden with a brownish and orangey hue, with tan head. The aroma is huge earthy hops, leafy, and lemon rind. The flavor is nice, with extremely piney hops. Huge resiny lemon-like bitterness. There’s a subtle undertone of malt, which has a cookie like quality, and caramel hints as it warms. There’s a late slap of alcohol, and the finish is dry and grapefruit like, yet it’s cleaner than I expected, considering the huge hop flavors. Has a linger of subtle sweet notes left on the palate.
