changeup45 (782), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 2, 2009 Just recently found this one on the shelves here in Florida. Pours a deep amber color with a thin to medium sized off-white head. Nice lacing. Fruity and malty aroma with a little bit of zest to it. Flavors are sweet and roasty with caramel, some floral notes, and a spicy hop finish. Didn’t blow me away but it’s not supposed to. A real nice session beer and a lot of flavor for such a low abv brew. blklab2007 (938), Connecticut, USA Jun 2, 2009 bottle poured a brown in color with a thin white froth on the surface. aroma has sweet pine, citrus, flowers, and caramel malt. nice hop profile on top of some chewy malt. mouth feel is fairly light with just enough carbonation. flavor has a nice bitter and malt side with a juicy pine citrus resiny thing. surprisingly easy to drink but full of flavor. I am impressed they packed this much flavor into a 4.4% beer. imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA Jun 1, 2009 Tap. Pour is deeper amber with a fluffy off white head. Aromas of piney hops, grapefruit, and sweet malts. Flavor is very light with resin, floral hop notes, and caramel. Nice session brew here, but not worth $11 for a 6pk. Adam77 (407), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Jun 1, 2009 Pretty tasty for 4.4. Good amount of hop flavor. Pour was dark amber with a white head. Solid. Surprising. WVHouseofBeer (339), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA May 31, 2009 Not quite as good as what I have come to expect from a Stone beer, but still decent. Had a hoppy taste, but not very strong. Appearance was a nice dark amber color with some white head. Overall it just didn’t have anything that special to make this beer stand out among other amber ales. JaBier (1130), Capital City, Ohio, USA May 31, 2009 On tap at the Winking Lizard Crosswoods location. Opaque amber/light brown pour with a medium beige head. Piney and citrusy hop aroma with some malt. Piney and earthy hop flavor without much malt for balance. Good amber ale. forsides (66), union, New Jersey, USA May 30, 2009 nice fluffy, lightly tan head, reddish copper color and clear. nice clean fruity hop nose. mellow caramel maltiness and good hop bitterness, dry finish.
