Sweet caramel flavor with some more raw floral hops. 8/4/8/3/17 - 4.0 unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Oct 29, 2006 Thanks to asteele8!! Nice pour. Heavy foamy head. Beautiful orange glow. Sharp hop aroma. Flavors of cotton candy last on the palate. Not alot of bitterness although the hop aroma was present. A great beer to say the least. I will have to rate this again after the next one. It was quite early in the morning... AleDrinker (1090), Sunnyvale, California, USA Oct 29, 2006 Updated: Jun 17, 2007Pours copper with a medium, lasting head. Very fruity tropical aroma. I smell lots of citrus, but mostly pineapple. Huge sweet bitterness as soon as the beer touches the tongue. Awesome blend of big juicy hops, sweet malt, and just enough alcohol to kick. Beauty. Rerate on 6/17/07 this beer has gotten much better and blends together REALLY well now! Doesn’t get much better than this. xsupple419x (3), dickson city, Pennsylvania, USA does not count Oct 29, 2006 wow what a beer. rich in the hops... great after taste.... strong and sweet flavor... 12.50$ a bottle well worth it decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Oct 29, 2006 A very rich hops aroma from a slight hazed orange/red pour. The malt aroma comes through clearly but the hops dominate. A sweet maltiness and hops flavor come into play here. A nice beer that has that alcohol warmth that makes a beer special. I really like beers that are sweet and have an alcohol warmth going on. This beer does. Call me a Stone whore but so far I like all their beers mucho. tommy8768 (120), Litlle Compton, Rhode Island, USA Oct 29, 2006 Bomber from Westport Beer and Wine, Westport MA. Clear copper color, What an aroma on this one-explodes with hop smell. Head is pretty much non-existent. Very bitter taste with a little sweetness. Caramel and hops dominate. One of the best beers I’ve tasted in a long time. tjthresh (1749), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Oct 28, 2006 22 ounce bottle from cdog69, shared with csbosox, Indra, and frizzzzle. Firey reds, oranges, and yellows. Very clear. Big ol’ white head. One whiff is like being beaten about the head by dome goons with a hop bat dipped in caramel. Holy crap. Enourmous hop flavor as well. Bittersweet finish. Kind of think and syrupy on the palate. I’ll take an I V of this stuff please. frizzzzle (64), Overland Park, Kansas, USA Oct 28, 2006 This beer pours a light, coppery color with a small head. The scent is very flowery and refreshing, with lots of orange and a bit of spice -- this one smells delightful. In typical IPA fashion, this beer is thick and juicy, with a highly citrus flavor. Lots of hops in this beer, with a dry finish.
