Nov 26, 2008 Bottle from College Liquors in Grand Junction, CO. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is awesome; loads of sweet hops, juicy and ripe. The taste is just insanely quaffable; sweet grapefruit hops, some light bitterness in the finish, very clean and super easygoing. One of the best IPAs.

Nov 21, 2008 Very clear golden color with a nice white head.
Smell is of spicy hops with a hint o citrus.
The taste is very crisp and hoppy. The herbal, piny hops it first with the fruity hops adding immediately after. A nice malt presence envelops and cleanses the pallet to lead to a nice, smooth finish.
The drinkability of this brew is astounding. Quite possibly one of the smoothest IPAs I’ve ever had. Another top notch brew from stone.

Nov 20, 2008 Typical west coast hop bomb. Not quite as great as Ruination, but not a whole hell of a lot behind it either. Nice little malty beginning before the hops hammer you down too, which is occasionally refreshing in a west coaster.

Nov 20, 2008 lots of american hop smell. fruity floral, pours golden with minimal head. fairly balanced slightly more on the hoppy side. starts smooth and malty but quickly goes bitter. slight lemon notes that are quite unique. A nice beer that I can now get all the time!

Taste, hoppy and fruity, nice sugar, light caramel malts, with bitter hoppy finish.
