| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 21, 2009 Bottle from Trenton Takeout. Shared with Big Frank. Orange/gold pour with off white head. Yeasty aroma with a spicy finish. I enjoyed it. bubbleflubber (892), Collinsville, Virginia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Pours transparent golden-orange into the glass, with a thin suds cap that leaves generous soapy lace. Lots of lemon and zest to the nose, with an equal amount of floral notes. The flavors are of lemon citrus, lots of rind and zest, light sweet malts, a touch of yeast midway through, and grassy hops on the back of the tongue. The finish is a mildly peppering grassy pine bitter, and a superbly integrated close to the pull. Although the textures are complex, the mouthfeel is medium with an easy quaff. Well-carbonated to bring enough liveliness, this goes down very easily, and cleanses the palate equally. A very nice Belgian offshoot take on the flagship IPA from Stone. dnlsartin (68), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Golden yellow. Floral aroma with strong lemon. As intended, this one boasts the grassy notes and effervescence of a light Belgian blonde with the pine and citrus bite of hoppy IPA. Seems to accomplish what it set out for. keepersj12 (789), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA

Great looking clear amber with a big pillowy head that laces and stays. Wonderful piney aroma hits you when you pop the cap. Taste is mostly hops with a Belgium hint in the background. Very nice dry, clean crisp finish for an outstanding brew. rederic (1807), montréal, Quebec, Canada
