Bottled and draft. A very light amber. Bitter beer with a slight floral arrangement. #2 IPA in my book - right behind Two Hearted.

Poured from the 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is yellowish gold color, with a foamy white head. The smell is quite hoppy. A bit piny and floral. The taste is sweet with a blend of citric hops, floral hops, and some peppery feel to it as well. I have heard many good things about Stone brewery and the IPA that they brew. I have yet to be misled by BA reviews in the past so I picked this up and gave it a try. One of the best IPAs that I have ever tried, hell, one of the best beers I’ve ever tried. A great spicey hop taste that is just what you would expect from a good IPA but is also quite drinkable.

EASILY my favorite IPA. Can’t get enough of the citrus and grapefruit hops. Lip puckering, yet refreshing. Give mre more.

White head, golden/orange in color. Prominent smell besides the wonderful hops was pine. Very refreshing major hops taste with a beautifully smooth finish.

Aroma is noticeably full of those Pacific North Western hop varieties, no grapefruit citrus present. The flavor is a great balance of strong hops and malts, no citrus to speak of. Appearance is a bit boring and bland. the head is nil, with barely a thin white collar and a coppery color. The palate is a superb balance, with a lingering bitter aftertaste nice hop-malt.

On draught at RnH (NYC): Amazing IPA. Hops, yeast, grapefruit, dry malts... the works. Really crisp and refreshing for an IPA- which is outstanding. One good beer.
