Aug 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep reddish copper body with a small white head left with a retaining ring throughout. Relatively mild hoppy, slightly fruity citrus aroma. Very smooth mouthfeel. Initial grapefruit flavor but with more caramel malts than anything. Really nice APA. I was expecting some more hops out of this, especially coming from Stone. None-the less very creamy flavorful beer.

Aug 7, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a nice darker clear amber with a thick frothy off-white head 3.5.
Aroma of sweet caramel and piney resin, light citrus, pretty nice. Flavor is a little bit more citrus, some resin, lighter but rich caramel, quite good but I think I need a fresher bottle. Medium bodied, slightly sticky, larger carbonation, thirst quenching.

Aug 3, 2009 Deep red color, thin white head. Malty hoppy aroma, maybe a hint of caramel. Sweet thick mouthfeel with a slightly bitter finish. Good beer but their IPA is significantly better for me.

Jul 30, 2009 Bottled. Beautiful dark amber with thin caramel-white head. "A delicate hop aroma," says the commercial description, yeah right! Its over the top with big hop aroma, but yet a very straightforward pale ale flavor and finish. Good.

Jul 24, 2009 Pours a nice copper color with a medium white head that fades fast. Good carbonation, lots of lacing. Aroma is caramel, malts, and a touch of hops. Taste is surprisingly low-key. There’s some hops, a little bit of sweetness and floral taste. Iit’s certainly not very bitter, there’s also a bit of caramel in there but overall it’s pretty boring. Don’t get me wrong it’s a well made beer and possibly a good starter beer for someone that’s not used to hops but probably my least favorite beer from Stone.
