5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20I just love really hoppy beer and this gem certainly qualifies. The aroma warns you that the hops are coming and the color is very pleasing to the eye. The care taken in production is evident from the first taste to the end of the bottle.

650 ml bottle (2012 edition, 11.2% ABV). Clear coppery colour, thin tan head. Fruity aroma of caramel, malt, piney hops and hints of vanilla. The flavour is caramel-malty at first, but that is quickly replaced by a massive dose of grapefruit-pine hops. Very tasty.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft at Memphis. Pours a murky brown with thick beige head and protruding ringed lace. Aroma or caramel, toffee, rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, pine. Boozy as hell. I used to love this so I’ll be kind to it ratings wise.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Pours clear amber in color with a small tan head. Burnt sugar, some slightly boozy notes and a bit of forrest in aroma. Slightly sweet and some boozy notes in taste. A bit of a let down as usual with
these Stone’s brews. Too boozy and too sweet, although there’s some grassy bitterness towards the finish.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Had this multiple Times but first time rating it. Mahogany in color, the aroma promises butterscotch, dark fruit, caramel, vanilla and honey which the taste promptly delivers along with some hints of cocoa, citrus and slight herbal tones. Very good indeed!

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Beautiful copper pour. Nice and clear with lots of tiny bubbles which rise to the thick white head. Sweet aroma of malt, fresh earth, hay, and booze. Thick mouthfeel. Flavor of sweet malt, pineapple, pine needles, grass with a giant hop punch in the mouth. Booze finish. I'm hardly worthy...

Perfect clear amber with thick long lasting white head. Inhaled pure earthy hops. Sweet cream and vanilla is immediately overwhelmed by grapefruit and bitterness. Beautiful.
