Bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. I think Phil l brought this, so thanks. Hazy cloudy amber colour, thin lasting beige head. Piney hop aroma. That’s a bit surprising. Perfumey. Not my favourite of the Stone beers. Very hoppy finish. I can see that it’s good, but it just didn’t do it for me.
