Nov 14, 2009 22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a clear dark golden color with a medium frothy white head. The aroma quickly fills the nose with sweet tropical fruits, citrus, floral hints, caramel, and mild bready malts. The flavor shows all of the west coast notes one would expect: oranges, grapefruits, and light berries, bready malts, some caramel sweetness, and some mild spices. Medium bodied with a slightly slippery mouthfeel.

Dec 18, 2009 Another good one from our friends at Stone Brewery. Clear golden color. Aroma is mainly of floral hops. Taste is pretty much the same with a little citrus. Good stuff!

Sep 11, 2008 Updated: Oct 15, 2008Bottle from Casa De Oro Liquor. Medium amber in color. On the orange side. Fairly dry smelling peppery hoppiness with good amount of yeastiness in the nose as well. Peppery hops up front, followed by a smoothness from the Belgian Yeast. Has a little clove and banana. Finish is fairly bitter. Solid brew.

Sep 17, 2008 Draft. Amber beer with a whitish head. PNW hop aroma with some underlying spice. Grapefruit, pine, and some summer fruit hop flavor that melds nicely with the yeasty spiciness. Medium body. Lingering hop and yeast. Bitterness is pretty good and doesn’t take it too out of whack for the Belgian influences.

Apr 5, 2009 Bottle. Amber beer with a strong head. The aroma is very well hopped and dry, and the flavour is vinous, and hopped with a sweet and then heavily dry finish. Overall a good beer.

Aug 13, 2009 Botle. Pours a faintly hazy gold with thin off white head. Aroma is classic Stone IPA, but with hints of the belgian yeast and fruitiness. Flavor is dominated by citrusy and piny hops, though there are some fruity notes buried in the background. Finish is dry and lightly bitter and spicy. This one was good, managing to maintain mostly the profile of an IPA but with an added belgian character that adds to the flavor without confusing it.

Apr 19, 2009 22 oz bomber.
Slightly hazy golden color, with a thick, tight sticky head. Nice retention.
Fruity Belgian yeast with notes of banana and candi sugar yields to pineapple and mango.
Flavor is pine and resin, slight woodiness and spice. Balanced malt flavor, enough to keep the hops fom running wild.
Alcohol warming on the slightly dry finish.

Mar 12, 2009 Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 22 oz bomber. Pours a murky dark gold to light orange with a soft silky white head that leaves elegant lacing. Clean, fresh aroma with hints of muted citrus, some floral accents, some white grapes. Flavor is smooth and refined. Detect a presence of grapefruity hoppiness, some candied sugar notes, a hint of mint, some other fruitiness - nectarines perhaps. Mouthfeel is thick and sticky. Interesting experiment - not as over the top as some Stones - but solid.
