foundersfan (11), Ohio, USA Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. A nice medium hopped beer with a little bite in its finish. Flavor is tasty and crisp with citrus and hops running through out. brenn79 (138), Idaho, USA Oct 31, 2009 12 oz bottle- Pours deep amber with a thick head, aroma is of malt. The flavor is very malty, definitely better than your normal amber ale, but this is the worst Stone beer I’ve ever had. mjs (1445), Helsinki, Finland Oct 30, 2009 (Draught) Poured amber and clear with medium sized and white head. Aroma was malty and hoppy. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, hops, bitterness and light roastedness. Finished bitter. 41cubs (129), , New Jersey, USA Oct 29, 2009 Caramel sweetness, sourdough and slight pineyness all come out to play on the nose of this one. Taste is very doughy bread and a pleasant bitterness that holds on throughout but it finishes very clean. Mouthfeel is near perfect for a session. Very good brew, awesome session brew. Thank you Stone. 2009 12 oz. bitbucket (2024), Kirkland, Washington, USA Oct 28, 2009 Botle pours clear orange amber with a massive beige head. Aroma of or oranges, grapefruit, resin and maybe flowers? Medium body, carbonation. The taste is sweet with more citrus, almonds, bread leading to a peppery, earthy pine finish. I rather like this stuff. deyholla (503), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Oct 26, 2009 Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma was quite one note with pine notes from the hops. Flavor had grapefruit notes was from the hops but there was a bit of an undertone of roasted malts. TheGrandMaster (1845), Auckland, New Zealand Oct 22, 2009 Bottle (in NZ). Big nose of citrus and pine homes with toffee malt undertones. Why the alcohol and mouthfeel might be mild, the hop flavours are not. Pushing the boundaries for 4.4%, and does it well. joeyplush (328), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 22, 2009 The best part about this beer is that it resembles a great IPA but is only 4.4%. A great feature if you like to have several! Nice rich dark amber color with a tan head. Tons of grapefruit and floral hops. Tastes is a combination of dark malt and bitter grapefruit, and the palate is refreshing and fruity. Excellent beer overall.
