Jul 31, 2009 Draught at the White Horse’s American Beer Festival 2009. Pine and orange dominate in both the aroma and flavour. There is some grassiness to it as well plus and nice bitterness throughout. A good beer.

Jul 28, 2009 Appearance is cloudy red-orange. Thick, slushy head. Lots of carbonation. The smell is pale, crystal malts. Tremendous citrusy West Coast hops. Hint of chlorine, but not one that’s intrusive. Malt turns roasted and nutty. Nearly perfect aroma, beautifully balanced. The taste is heavily roasted, dark caramel malt at first, then a lemony, herbal hop. Malts are borderline amber, sitting like a burnt English/rye. Heavy yeast presence; meshes great with the more flowery hop notes. The feel is medium body, a little dry and bready. That yeast helps. It’s like an English Bitter, loaded with yeast and a flowery, citrus hop. A damn fine selection.

Jul 28, 2009 12 oz. Pours a clear deep amber with a lasting half-inch of creamy foam. Nose is grapefruit and molasses with some light catspray. Flavors of molasses with resin, citrus, and tea leaf. Smooth near medium body is dry. Nice session ale.

Jul 25, 2009 Draught. Poured translucent ruby with a light white head. Aroma was citric and floral hops, caramel, honey, and slightly fruity. Flavor was slightly citric, light caramel, and honey finished by a strong bitterness that was somewhat resinous. Palate was nicely smooth and the bitter punch added some depth but overall was light compared to other Stone brews. Definitely a nice session beer but could use some complexity.

Jul 25, 2009 On tap. Clear amber golden with an off-white head. A little caramel and hops in the nose. Medium body, sweetish burned caramel but a rather subdued malt feel. The finish is dry and lightly hoppy. Very quaffable. 070709
