| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 26, 2009 Pours clear light ruby with off white head. Super hoppy citrus and pine aroma. Little honey flavor then a super long butter finish. Great example of a hoppy west coast amber, but I wish there was a little more malt. blukarma (10), Rocky Face, Georgia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 26, 2009 Odd little brew. It looks great and smells great. Reminds me of Arrogant Bastard by look and smell. It has a bit of a porter taste to it. My only qualm is the bitter finish that tends to stick around longer than I like. I’d definitely drink one if offered up but for the money there are tons of other beers I’d rather buy. chris21274 (4), Buffalo, New York, USA does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Sep 26, 2009 Nice pour - copper with a nice frothy head. Hops hit you up front but it’s well balanced even thought it’s only 4.4%. Biscuity with slight nuttiness and peppercorns in the background. Great Amber! Another solid Stone offering. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 26, 2009 12-oz. Pours a crystal clear, ruddied dark amber. Thick sudsy tan head across the top. Decent loose lace coming down the sides. Nice sweet citrusy, cinnamon-y, sweet malty nose. Creamy medium body with plenty of firmly placed carb. Slightly smoky cinnamon, blood oranges, and sweet malt on the mid-palate. Mild earthy-ish finish. Pretty good hoppy little amber. yobdoog (1431), Woodridge NY, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 21, 2009 Very enjoyable session ale. Brown color with a small head. Aroma of some grain and sweet caramel with a balanced bitter hop. Light and flavorful. Has some faint citrus flavor with caramel malts and earthy hops. vyvvy (2034), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 21, 2009 Pours clear dark amber / copper with a rocky beige head. The aroma is quite hoppy with floral and tropical notes along with smooth citrus along with a solid toasted malt backbone. Medium body with a touch of harshness and some prickly carbonation. The taste shows lots of oxidation with plenty of woodiness and some pine. There is some toasted malt as well. The finish is fairly harsh. This was still consumed before the ’best by’ date, but hopefully I can get a fresher bottle in better shape at some point to rerate.
