4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Quite nice. The description was spot on in that it has the uniqueness of Stone with an abundance of hops. However, the aroma was not just that but rather had a floral aspect that I would associate with Belgians. Creamy palate with a good weight and carbonation. Well balanced with the malts and Belgian yeast. Great beer.

Pours amber with a white head. Smells of orange peel. Tastes fruity, hoppy, crisp, and mild bitter. Finishes with a short bitter on tongue. Very nice twist of IPA and Belgian blonde. Delicious.
