BuckeyeBoy (1645), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 23, 2009 Bottle Pours out a light gold topped with a white head. Aroma of pine and citrus hops a little belg funk. Taste to sweet caramel hops plenty of citrus bitterness. Along with the belg yeast. Thanks IndianaRed. pinkzambia (986), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 22, 2009 Bottle compliments of Indiana Red: Clear gold with white ring head. This reminds me of Urthel’s Hop It, but way better. The aroma is a battle between huge hops and funky Belgian yeast. The flavor has a flowery hop taste with an English Breakfast tea aftertaste. Smooth and thin finish which leaves a solid hop coating on your tongue. Nice. Sonicdescent (374), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2009 Pours a very nice yellow/golden color with a decent fluffy white head and nice carbonation out of my Sam Adams Sensory glass.
Smell is of the typical pine and citrus hops with a belgian yeast character of breadiness.
Taste is closer to a tripel than any IPA, it isn’t very hoppy but obviously that’s a part of the style. Has small hints of spice and clove.
Mouth is medium and carbonation is high.
Probably wouldn’t get this one again, but it was nice to try this once. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a golden amber with a thick white head. Super citrus hop aroma (Centennial hops?) just bursting out of the glass with some malt sweetness and Belgian esthers, peppery notes. Light crisp malt body with a big citrus, Belgian funk and tart dry body. A unique twist on a Stone classic. Arayaga2 (933), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 20, 2009 Hazy yellow with a dimpled white head. Aroma is bubble gum, tangerines, Taste is dry and biscuity with pithy citrus bitterness and wheaty spice notes. $7/22oz mabel (2530), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 20, 2009 [2381-20090801] Sample. Ivy greenery aroma has some floral and spice notes. Hazy, light brown body with a long-lasting foamy white head and nice lacing. Nice spicy yeast flavour with a mild burnt straw notes. Medium body. Good.
