Feb 15, 2004 A good beer, hoppy, nothing really seemed to make this stand out though. Real smooth, ruby coloration that was awesome.

Dec 22, 2009 Cask at the White Horse American Beer Festival, July 2009. Good prominent moist hop aroma. Maybe a little clammy. Clean and quite assertive for a relatively low ABV (in US terms) beer. Some sweetish fruity malt joins the hops in the flavour profile. Good drinking stuff. Worked rather well on cask.

May 1, 2003 This is a great toned-down version of AB that I can drink all day and not get plowed. But, it's not AB. A great beer nonetheless.

Pours a deep reddish-orange with great clarity. A small tan head starts out well, then disappears almost completely, save for a ragged ring of bubbles around the edge. Lots of citrusy and piney hops on the nose. Chinook? A bit of sweet, caramelly malt adds a sharp undercurrent. The flavor starts out firmly bitter, with a lot of citrus (grapefruit rind) and pine, before the malts show up and add a bit of balance. Some fruitiness. High Lovibond crystal malt caramel sweetness is resigned to play second fiddle to the hops. A bit thin and light-bodied, with a slighty weak carbonation level which helps by adding a tiny hint of a syrupy mouthfeel. Ends with a touch of dryness, which adds to drinkability. Highly quaffable at 4.4%abv, this would make a good session brew if I could get it here in Missouri.

Jan 30, 2006 Pour is warm ruby amber with a nice dense tan head...smell is sweet with lots of malty notes but the big suspect here are hops, with citrus and pine being dominant...taste is subtley malty and first but lots of hop bitterness coming out in the finish...good overall...

Jun 11, 2004 Copper grapefrutiyt hops in the nose. Crisp and flat body. The taste was just about the same. I dunno, I just could not get into this one. I like the kick you in the gonads feel of most of the stone stuff. but this was not your average stone. In fact, I would argue that this may be over rated just becaus it is "stone" but not that great.

Oct 9, 2003 A very nice amber. Great color and consistency. I felt it tasted similar to their pale ale, yet with more malts and slightly less hops. A great session ale to be enjoyed in large quantities.
