PhatB420 (126), Pittsfield, Massachusetts, USA Jun 7, 2009 If there ever was one, this is the best summer IPA out there, not a strong as some east coast brews Ive had before but the delicated combination of the hops and barely makes due for an impressive brew. bacummings (21), Alabama, USA Jun 7, 2009 Very hoppy as you would expect an IPA to be. Golden with nice fluffy head. A bit of a sweet finish. djtimeless (170), Florida, USA Jun 3, 2009 Pours out clear golden with lots of foamy head. Taste is sweet and spicey with lots of hops. The Belgian yeast and malt gives it a different twist. Sweet and fruity with nice malty flavor. Crisp and clean finish. Great alternative to the regular IPA. douglas88 (1556), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA May 30, 2009 22oz bottle shared generously by footbalm. Pours a clear golden color with a nice foamy white head. The aroma is sweet; lots of hops, some Belgian yeast and malts. The flavor is more hoppy than anything else, which is of course fine with me. A lighter Belgian malt and yeast profile. Overall, a very nice beer. pivo (2535), Germany May 30, 2009 Stone. Gotta love em. I mean, just one great beer after another. Deep gold color with a fluffy head. Citrus notes and a great hoppy bitterness. Overall very smooth. Nothing mind-blowing (for Stone), but this is a solid brew any way you slice it. punkrkr27 (606), Berkley, Michigan, USA May 29, 2009 Gold pour with a huge, rocky, white head and lots of lacing. Nice citrus aroma balanced with bubblegum, yeast, banana, clove, honey, coriander, pepper and bread. Lots of bright citrus and belgian ester flavors with some peppery phenols and a sweet honey biscuit malt background. Sticky, medium-ful body with soft carbonation. j12601 (1149), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA May 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear golden amber with a thick white head. Somewhat complex nose comprised of pine, citrus, toast, malt. Light sweetness, malty with a nice caramel note. Big grapefruit bitterness. Pretty good, and better than I had anticipated. DuffManSW (283), Riverside, California, USA May 27, 2009 Bottle from La Bodega.. Pours golden with a fluffy white head and lots of carbonation bubbles...Floral and citrus hops in the nose with some belgian yeast.. Slightly sweet with alot of citrus hops.. Super tasty..
