Red foil July 4th release. A very special thank you to Sean (DrunkAsASkunk) for this one. I responded to his post about this, and we made an excellent trade. This one broke my Alesmith cherry, and I wish I had been a naughty boy sooner. My first observation was that the bottle, with its blue and white embossed text, looked EXACTLY like the Stone font size, type, and syntax. Is there a secret relationship between Alesmith and Stone that we don’t know about??! The pour was turbid dark straw with a big, creamy white head and lacing. Aroma of fruit, hops, malt. Tastes very hoppy, fruity, with a slightly dry, yeasty, hoppy finish. Very rich, with a firm, bold mouthfeel. This one was excellent.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Love this beer. Poured a hazy orange/gold with a two finger white head. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus and floral hops. Flavor is well balanced and not too sweet. Citrus hops finish the taste. Great beer!

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle graciously sent to me by alexsdad06. Thank you so much. This one is a damn fine beer. Wow. Pours a hazy orangish color wtih a very nice whte head. Aroma is a delicious mix of caramel, malts, fruit and spicy and floral hops. Flavor is just a perfect union of big hops and smooth malt. I get citrus, caramel, vanilla, and man I just loved this beer.

Sep 26, 2008 thanks to weeheavysd for the chance. This beer kept eluding me. Pours cloudy orange with a nice white head. Aroma is tropical, citrus, pine and mango. Taste is citrus as well, but not as juicy as the aroma promised. Huge pine with a dry resinous finish. Really nice.
